To the Editor:
On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I am writing to extend congratulations to Stockbridge and Hampton Municipal Court Judge Matthew M. “Matt” McCord on his appointment by Gov. Brian Kemp to serve as a Superior Court judge for the Griffin Judicial Circuit, covering Fayette, Pike, Spalding and Upson counties.
Judge McCord will be well served by his 26 years of experience in the legal profession and justice system, maintaining a private law practice in McDonough as well as his judicial service. He has also served as a judge pro tempore for the State Courts of Henry, DeKalb and Fayette counties and is a former assistant solicitor in Clayton County and former assistant district attorney for the Alcovy Judicial Circuit. Additionally, he served two terms as president of the statewide Council of Municipal Court Judges.
By accepting this appointment, Judge Matt McCord demonstrates his continued commitment to serving the public and the justice system. We wish him well in this capacity of judicial leadership.
Sincerely,
Christopher P. Twyman
