Attorney Emily Brantley Announces her Candidacy for Gwinnett County Judgeship

Attorney Emily Brantley of Suwanee announced Nov. 3, 2011, that she would be a candidate for Judge of State Court of Gwinnett County. The incumbent, Judge Robert Mock, has announced that he will not run for re-election.

“The people of Gwinnett County recognize the hard work that Judge Mock has done,” said Brantley. “He has helped raise the standard by which judges operate, and we all appreciate his service.”

Brantley is an attorney specializing in complex civil litigation.

“As our new judge, I will be able to rely on my experience,” Brantley said. “A good judge, a fair judge, enters a courtroom without predetermined conclusions, but relies on the law and the Constitution. I will do exactly that.”

Brantley earned her law degree from Georgia State University in 1991. She is a member of the American Bar Association, the State Bar of Georgia, and Gwinnett County Bar.

Brantley and her husband, Frank Circelli, have three daughters and live in Suwanee.
