He earned his Juris Doctor cum laude and his B.B.A. in Insurance from the University of Georgia.

In 2023, he served as lead trial attorney securing a $140 million wrongful death verdict in DeKalb State Court, the largest in Georgia history at the time, arising from a fatal apartment fire at Venetian Hills Apartments.

His practice covers automobile collisions, trucking and tractor-trailer wrecks, motorcycle accidents, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, product liability, professional malpractice, premises liability, and nursing home abuse.
Proven verdicts and settlements
A DeKalb County State Court jury awarded $140 million on December 20, 2023 to the estate of George Hughes, a 63-year-old tenant who burned to death in a March 2017 fire at the Venetian Hills Apartments in southwest Atlanta, finding the landlord's fire safety failures caused his death, but the judgment did not stand: on October 31, 2025 the Georgia Court of Appeals vacated it, holding that the jury was wrongly instructed under general premises liability law in addition to Georgia's narrower landlord-tenant statute, and the case was remanded for a full retrial that remains pending.
Cindy Tran Huynh, a 22-year-old Army veteran riding her motorcycle through a green light in Columbus, Georgia, was killed on January 26, 2017 when a tractor-trailer driven by George Hooks for MDV SpartanNash turned left across her path. Hooks and MDV SpartanNash admitted the crash was entirely the driver's fault before trial, leaving a Muscogee County State Court jury to decide damages alone. On March 20, 2019, the jury awarded $27 million: $22 million for the full value of Huynh's life and $5 million for the pain and suffering she endured before she died. Alan Hamilton and Jeff Shiver of Shiver Hamilton represented the family, with Margaret Randels of the firm and Jim Roth of the Roth Firm also on the trial team.
