"Appearing in court, even as a witness, is one of the most nerve-wracking and stressful experiences most people encounter in their lives.  The people of Cobb County deserves a judge that is respectful and remembers that one of the most important thing that a Judge can do is to make litigants feel at ease so that they have the full opportunity to make the most of their day in court.  My promise is to treat each person—litigant, witness, or attorney—with the same empathy, care, dignity, and respect that I grew up witnessing my parents demonstrate in their service to others."

Greg Shenton

"As a prosecutor, I’ve been in the arena of public service and have made the tough choices on how to best deliver justice for victims while also helping those who have made mistakes find redemption and lead lives of purpose. This experience and my commitment to the Constitution will allow me to serve on the bench fairly, firmly, and with fidelity to the rule of law."

The Superior Court is the highest trial level court in the judiciary system of Georgia, which means it is just one step below the Supreme Court of Georgia. Comprised of two sides, it handles both civil and criminal cases.

Highest trial court in Cobb, ruling on cases such as murder, assault, divorce, and adoption
