About Joseph H. Cowart
Born and raised on his family’s farm in Twin City, Emanuel County, Georgia, Joey has always considered Southeast Georgia as his home. After graduating with honors from Georgia Southern University in 1992 with a BBA in Economics and an Emphasis in International Business, Joey worked for a local law firm in Statesboro before attending the Walter F. George School of Law at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, where he graduated in the top 15% of his class in 1996. Upon his return to Statesboro in 1996, he worked as an Associate Attorney for Charles Brown and Becky Livingston. After practicing law in the private sector for several years, Joey decided to run for the position of the Bulloch County Solicitor General in 2000. After winning that election in 2000, Joey ran unopposed for three (3) successive terms. In 2016, after being responsible for prosecuting thousands of DUI offenses in Bulloch County, Joey decided not to seek re-election and to re-enter the private practice of law. On 01 January 2017, Joey joined the Law Firm of Taulbee, Rushing, Snipes, Marsh & Hodgin as Of Counsel to the Firm. “As a former prosecutor with over 16 years of experience in dealing with nothing other than criminal and traffic offenses, I believe that I have a unique perspective and familiarity with the criminal and traffic laws of our State, along with a deep understanding of the Courts and Court personnel in our area. Without the proper assistance and guidance, someone who is accused of violating the law can be exposed to what can at times be an unforgiving legal system. It is my goal to represent folks who are accused of violating the law in such a manner that will place them in the best possible position to favorably resolve their current matter along with addressing any personal issues to assist them to avoid any future problems.”

Interview With an Amicus
06/27/2025
Written by Michelle L. Behan Amicus Curiae (Latin for "Friend of the Court") refers to a brief that is filed by an interested, non-party to the matter under consideration. This is often done in cases where organizations and entities wish to provide the reviewing court with their point of view, be it social or public policy implications, or special interest agendas....
Keeping FSTs Out of a Trial
04/23/2025
Written by Neil Halttunen I want to address a common issue that DWI practitioners are facing, trying to keep FSTs out of a trial. One way is to take the position that FSTs are scientific evidence and make the prosecutor lay scientific foundation which they rarely can do. The HGN test was the result of several studies. See Generally Session 8 of...
