Arthur E. Snead

I began my legal career at the Office of the Public Defender for the Augusta Judicial Circuit. During my time as an Assistant Public Defender, I represented hundreds of criminal defendants and tried both misdemeanor and felony cases to jury verdict. After leaving the Office of the Public Defender, I transitioned into private practice, focusing on representing the interests of injured workers across Georgia. I graduated from Augusta State University and then spent time in Alaska working as a commercial fisherman. My experience in Alaska was invaluable, as it not only taught me the meaning of hard work, but also gave me a deeper understanding of the challenges my clients face. My time there was unexpectedly cut short when I sustained a work-related injury to my left hand in a boating accident. After returning home from Alaska, I attended Mississippi College School of Law. While in law school, I worked for the Office of the Mississippi Secretary of State and earned American Jurisprudence Awards for my performance in Pretrial Practice, Trial Practice, Appellate Advocacy, Products Liability, Business Bankruptcy, and Law & Economics. My dedication to my studies also earned me the John B. Farese Memorial Trial Advocacy Award and the Mississippi Bankruptcy Conference Award. In 2018, I was honored to be named a "Rising Star" by Georgia Super Lawyers, an accolade given to the top 2.5% of attorneys in their field as voted on by their peers. I am currently a member of the State Bar of Georgia, the State Bar of Georgia Workers' Compensation Section, the State Bar of Georgia Tort & Insurance Practice Section, the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, Georgia Injured Workers’ Advocates, and the DeKalb County Bar Association. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, daughter, and German Shorthaired Pointer.
