Attorneys

Samuel J. Siemon is the founding partner of The Siemon Law Firm, P.C. Sam practices both family law and criminal defense. Oftentimes, these two areas of law overlap and it is beneficial for the client to have one attorney well versed in both areas. Sam received his business degree from Flagler College in Florida and his juris doctorate degree from Nova Southeastern University. Sam was recently elected as the current Vice President of the Forsyth County Bar Association and past Secretary/Treasurer (2006-2007). As a member of the local Bar, Sam serves as the liaison to the Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce. He is also a proud member of the Lanier Forsyth Rotary Club and the Jaycees of Forsyth County. Sam is an active member of the Atlanta Bar Association, Family Law and Criminal Defense sections. Sam has also volunteered his time representing indigent persons through the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyer Foundation. When he is not aggressively representing his clients, Sam, a licensed private pilot, enjoys flying with his family.

Josie A. Siemon practices exclusively in the area of family law. Josie graduated from Florida International University with degrees in both criminal justice and English. While at the University, she was a proud member of Golden Key Honor Society (top 10%) and both the Alpha Phi Sigma and Sigma Tau Delta honor societies. Josie received her juris doctorate degree from Nova Southeastern University, where she graduated with pro bono honors and was a member of the prestigious Moot Court Honor Society. Josie currently serves as the President of the Forsyth County Bar Association and has served as the Vice President (2006-2007) and Secretary/Treasurer (2005-2006). Josie began practicing law in the state of Florida and continues to assist clients with matters that cross state lines, as family law issues often do. Like Sam, Josie has volunteered many hours representing indigent clients through the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyer Foundation. Currently, she handles multiple cases in the Juvenile Court through Forsyth County Indigent Defense Council. These cases range from Guardian ad Litem to deprivation and delinquency. When she is not zealously representing her clients, Josie enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter.
