Samuel Emas

While attending Emory Law School, Samuel Emas dedicated his time outside of the class to focus on every aspect of criminal law. While learning about prosecution, he spent time at the Georgia Attorney General's Office handling death penalty cases and researching cases up on appeal before the Georgia Supreme Court. He also spent time in the Dekalb Solicitor's Office handling the prosecution of misdemeanors including DUIs and Domestic Violence cases. 

​

On the defense side, Mr. Emas spent time at both the trial and appellate level--he worked with the Dawson County Public Defender's Office handling serious felony and DUI cases as well as the Georgia Public Defender's Office drafting appellate briefs on serious felony cases before the Georgia Court of Appeals. He also spent one summer with a Federal Judge at the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals researching and assisting on opinions concerning a wide range of civil and criminal matters. 

​

After graduating law school, Mr. Emas worked at the Augusta Circuit Public Defender's Office where he handled hundreds of serious felony and misdemeanor cases and securing several not guilty verdicts for his clients. Thereafter, Mr. Emas worked at the law firm Hunter Rhodes LLC where along with handling federal and state criminal cases, he also handled civil rights cases and civil asset forfeiture matters. 

​

Currently, Mr. Emas runs his own practice where he handles criminal and civil cases in both federal and state courts throughout Georgia to protect his clients' rights and ensure fairness in our justice system.
