George is married with two beautiful daughters, Alexandria and Madge. He and his family live in Willacoochee, Georgia which is conveniently located between his Douglas office and his new Valdosta office.

George’s daughter Alexandria is a 2012 graduate of Valwood and he hopes to send his four year old daughter Madge to Valwood in the near future.
In addition to the numerous local organization and charities that George and his family support, they also have a desire to help underprivileged children in underdeveloped countries. To further this goal he was a Producer of the documentary film, Mi Casa Hogar. The film reveals an in-depth look at the incredible story of the Casa Hogar children’s home in Acapulco, Mexico. The World Premiere of the documentary film was in June of 2013 in Times Square, New York City, New York. Mi Casa Hogar received two Suncoast Emmy Nominations and its Director received a 2013 Emmy Award in Miami, Florida. As a result of the film winning the prestigious 2013 Emmy Award we believe that this recognition will bring much needed awareness, donations and support to the orphanage, as well as, assist desperately under privileged children in many other countries.
Since 2010 George has concentrated his practice in the areas of DUI and Criminal Defense. The area his practice covers is the entire Southeastern region of Georgia.
