Pugh

My background and extensive experience give me a unique perspective into the criminal justice system. Admitted to the Bar in 1996, I have interned as a law clerk for Cobb County Superior Court Judge Jim Bodiford, served as Assistant Solicitor General in the Cobb County Solicitor’s office, and Assistant District Attorney in the Cobb County District Attorney’s office. I am currently the Environmental Court Judge in the City of Smyrna.

"Joel was very professional and communicated throughout the whole process. He is very blunt I will advise of that but because he does not sugar coat the truth and will tell you the plan and things as it is. My husband was facing a very serious case and he managed for my husband to not even do a year and get him out before Christmas to spend with us as a family. Him and his staff all offered great service to us." says Elisabeth on Google

We had this sweet girl show up in our parking lot today. We are thinking she was dumped and is starving. Joel will cover her vet bills to get her spayed and vaccinated if anyone wants a sweet addition to their family! Or if you know who she belongs to, please reach out.

I have searched through Ring, Nextdoor and Facebook for posts on missing dogs. Jennifer Hill Payton
