His work as a clerk for a civil practice firm while in law school was reinforced by the trial experience he gained in almost seven years’ work as a prosecutor, protecting the public. With work as a prosecutor, a brief period of service in the United States Marine Corps, and as counsel for the record industry behind him, Kilgo began as successful career as a trial attorney when he joined Michael Hawkins’ firm in 2009. Since that time, he has devoted his practice to protecting Georgia’s citizens in court on a daily basis, and has honed his skills as a trial attorney in many successful legal battles. Kilgo recently completed work on his first book, a compilation of weapons laws in Georgia, and frequently lectures on Georgia’s gun laws to members of the public.
