My name is Nicole Jones. For the past 17 years I have been practicing civil and criminal law on the behalf of the people of Douglas County in my private law firm, where I have always strived to the best of my abilities to give clients their right to have their voice heard in court. I have maintained a professional responsibility to my clients to be efficient, honest, and reliable regardless if their past has led them on either sides of the law. This year I want to take the next step in serving Douglas County and their families by running for the position of Douglas County’s Superior Court Judge. Please give me the chance to earn your vote by browsing through my campaign page!

I started college at Georgia State University in 1993 and graduated in 1998 with a bachelor’s degree of Science in the Criminal Justice field. In 2000, I wasted no time familiarizing myself with Georgia’s legal system by working full-time in the U.S. Court of Appeals Eleventh Circuit in Atlanta while attending John Marshall Law School as a part-time student. I graduated law school with my Juris Doctorate in 2004. I resigned from the Court of Appeals in 2005 to create my private law firm, Jones Federal & Appellate, L.L.C., where I have handled numerous cases from areas of Adoptions, Civil and Criminal trials, Immigration, Personal Injury, Divorce, Appellate, and so forth.

I started my practice in 2005, maintained it to this very day, and I have not regretted it since.  I have continued my education with a LLM in Trial Advocacy from Temple University – Beasley School of Law.  I am licensed to practice law in the Georgia Supreme Court, Georgia Court of Appeals, U.S. Supreme Court, Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, Northern District of Georgia, and the Northern District of Georgia Bankruptcy Court.

Apart from the natural stress college burdens its students, I had other responsibilities in my personal life as a wife and a mother. When I started my education in John Marshall Law School, I was a mother to three beautiful boys. Before I graduated that number grew by the addition of my precious daughter. Every day since then has been a balancing act between my responsibilities to the law, my clients, and the responsibilities to my children. My obligation to both has gifted me a mentality to protect and secure the future of my generation, the next generation, and every generation following them for as long as I am able to do so.

I am deeply passionate about serving my community to the best of my ability. To this end, I take the path of leadership by first being my community’s servant. I have been a member of Atlanta West Pentecostal Church since 2005 and subsequently one of many leaders.  In 2002 I became involved with the Boy Scouts of America organization and was given the honor instilling a dozen of Douglas County’s boys the positive skills they need to become the responsible men our community desperately cries out for. Though I pulled away from the organization in 2014, I continued my efforts to guide the bright minds of our county by volunteering as a Mock Trial Coach from 2014 to 2019.  I have ministered to incarcerated women through preaching and songs, through the jail ministry.  I help lead the HOPE Ministry for the homeless, which calls us to drive down to Atlanta every Saturday and offer them food, clothes, and heart-warming fellowship. I have served HOPE and the homeless of Atlanta every Saturday for 14 years now.
