About Mr. John Michael
Mr. John Michael Morrow blends a legal career that began in the mid-1980s with a long-standing interest in history and education. He has maintained ties to both fields throughout his professional life, splitting time between private practice, mediation work and teaching. Colleagues describe a steady presence in Gwinnett County courtrooms and community dispute resolution programs over several decades.
He earned a B.A. in Philosophy and History from West Georgia College in 1976. He later completed a Master of Arts in History at the University of Georgia in 1984 and a J.D. at Mercer University Walter F. George School of Law in 1984. Those academic credentials underpin a career that has moved between classroom and courthouse.
Morrow joined the State Bar of Georgia in 1984 and has been a member of the Gwinnett County Bar Association since 1985. He is admitted to practice in all Georgia courts and in the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia. In 1985 he began practicing under the name John Michael Morrow, P.C., operating a private law practice in the region.
In 2000 he expanded his professional activities into alternative dispute resolution. That year he became a registered Neutral-Civil Mediator through the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution and joined the standing panel of mediators for the Magistrate Court of Gwinnett County. Those roles placed him at the center of local efforts to resolve civil disputes without protracted litigation.
Alongside his law and mediation work, Morrow has taught history as an adjunct instructor at Georgia Perimeter College beginning in 2000. His background in history appears frequently in his public work. It informs how he approaches case narratives and client counseling, and it was a throughline from his undergraduate studies to his later teaching.
Over the years his practice has reflected a combination of courtroom representation and alternative dispute resolution. He continues to practice through John Michael Morrow, P.C., accepts matters in Georgia state and federal courts, and serves as a registered civil mediator in Gwinnett County and statewide dispute resolution programs.
