Maggie George is a criminal defense and civil litigation attorney and Managing Partner of George Law in Michigan. Known for her strategic, results-driven approach, Maggie has built a reputation for delivering powerful outcomes in both high-stakes criminal cases and complex civil disputes.
Maggie joined George Law in 2018 alongside her husband and law partner, Derrick George, bringing with her a unique blend of executive-level business experience and legal acumen. After graduating from James Madison College at Michigan State University, she began her career in Washington, D.C., working within the legislative branch of the federal government before transitioning into the private sector. She spent over a decade with a Fortune 500 company, rising to a Director-level position where she honed the leadership, negotiation, and analytical skills that now distinguish her as a formidable advocate.
Despite her success in the corporate world, Maggie felt a strong calling to the legal profession. While raising a young family and helping to scale George Law, she pursued her law degree at Wayne State University Law School, where she excelled academically and developed a focus in criminal law and civil litigation, including defamation and business disputes. During law school at Wayne State University, Maggie clerked for Chief Judge Denise Page Hood of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. This prestigious experience sharpened her legal analysis and reinforced her commitment to practicing with integrity, precision, and purpose.
Today, Maggie represents clients in a wide range of matters, including criminal defense in Michigan, felony and misdemeanor charges, white-collar offenses, and civil litigation involving business disputes, defamation, and complex commercial claims. She is known for her ability to quickly identify weaknesses in opposing cases, develop strategic defenses, and position her clients for the strongest possible outcomes.
Maggie has achieved significant success in securing dismissals for wrongfully accused defendants, protecting clients from unjust prosecution and ensuring that false allegations do not define their future. In criminal matters, her skillful plea negotiations consistently result in reduced charges, minimized penalties, and outcomes that keep clients out of jail whenever possible. In civil litigation, Maggie brings the same tenacity and precision—advocating for clients in high-stakes disputes where reputation, finances, and business interests are on the line. Her background in corporate leadership gives her a distinct advantage in understanding complex business dynamics and crafting effective litigation strategies.
Above all, Maggie is a fierce protector of her clients’ constitutional rights and livelihoods. She approaches every case with empathy, preparation, and an unwavering belief that the truth matters. Whether in the courtroom or at the negotiating table, she ensures her clients are heard, their rights are protected, and their futures are defended.
