Qader Baig

In 1993, after earning my J.D. from Emory University School of Law, I worked for Rockdale County as an Assistant District Attorney. During my tenure with Rockdale County, I handled a variety of matters in Juvenile, Magistrate, State and Superior Courts. Additionally, I argued successfully before the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Georgia. After serving in the Rockdale County District Attorney's Office, I spent four years with DeKalb County government and served as Chief Assistant Solicitor and Solicitor General, Pro Tempore. Additional responsibilities included employment law matters, appeals, media/public information, open records requests, case transfers, mental health court and bond issues. Since 2004, I returned to Rockdale to found and manage M. Qader A. Baig & Associates, LLC, and in 2009 I was appointed General Counsel for Rockdale County on all legal matters facing the County - draft and analyze policies, resolutions, and contracts and provide legal counsel for zoning, planning, tax appeals, and employment issues and serve as the prosecutor of all County ordinance violations .
