About William Ligon
“My work has required me to
manage a small business, interpret
the law, apply the law, and conduct a courtroom with an even temperament to ensure each person was heard and respected. These types of experiences have prepared me for the process of writing laws, which is the work legislators must accomplish during their 40 days in the General Assembly each year. I will bring those same abilities and decorum to the Senate.”
- William Ligon.
William Ligon served as the former Municipal Court Judge for the City of Brunswick over the past 16 years. He has practiced law locally since 1988 and is the Senior Partner of Ligon, Middleton and Lindberg, P.C., with offices in Brunswick and St. Simons Island. William is a member of the Coastal Georgia Gun Club, the National Rifle Association, and Gideons International.
A graduate of Glynn Academy, William earned his Bachelor’s degree at Valdosta State College and his law degree from Mercer University’s School of Law, graduating from both with academic honors. His political calling began on the local level when William first chaired the Glynn County Young Republicans. In Washington, D.C., William interned with Senator Mack Mattingly in the United States Senate.
William and his wife, Kim, a former public school teacher, have five children and live in Camden County on a 16 acre mini-farm where they enjoy raising horses and cattle. They are members of Christian Renewal Brunswick, where his father, Bill Ligon, Sr., has ministered as senior pastor since 1973. As part of their early family life, young William served on the mission field with his parents when they were Southern Baptist missionaries to Spain. As a result, William has been fluent in Spanish ever since elementary school.
Now with a family of his own, William enjoys teaching his children the value of American ingenuity, the discipline of an old-fashioned work ethic, and the entrepreneurial reward of selling their home-grown produce to neighbors and friends.
