As you can see from the attached pages, our office performs many tasks for the community and presides over many different types of matters.  The Court was created in 1983 as part of the Georgia Constitution and Georgia Statutes.  Every County in Georgia has a Magistrate Court and all 159 of the Magistrate Courts are part of the Council of Magistrate Court Judges which oversees all training and State-wide organization.

I have been blessed by the citizens of the County to be chosen to do something that I love.  If I can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to let me know.
