Personal Injury Representation Rooted in Athens

Our office sits in the heart of downtown Athens on East Clayton Street, just steps from the Clarke County Courthouse. That proximity is not an accident. We are in those courtrooms regularly, we know the local judges and court staff, and we know how Georgia insurance adjusters value injury claims in Athens-Clarke, Oconee, Barrow, Jackson, Madison, and Oglethorpe counties.

We represent people hurt in every kind of accident Northeast Georgia produces: wrecks on the Athens Perimeter and Atlanta Highway, falls at local businesses, dog attacks in residential neighborhoods, and workplace injuries. If you are treating at Piedmont Athens Regional or St. Mary's, we work around your treatment schedule, and we can meet by phone, by video, or at your bedside if you cannot come to us.

Every case is handled on a contingency fee. You pay nothing up front and no fee at all unless we recover money for you. Consultations are free, and an attorney, not a call center, evaluates your case.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Athens?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, which means our fee is a percentage of what we recover for you. If we do not win your case, you owe us no attorney fee. The consultation is free.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia?

In most cases, Georgia law gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Some situations shorten or extend that window, so it is important to speak with a lawyer early, while evidence and witness memories are fresh.

What is my personal injury case worth?

It depends on your medical bills, lost wages, future treatment needs, and the pain and disruption the injury has caused. Be cautious of anyone promising a number before reviewing your records. We will give you an honest evaluation for free.

What if I was partly at fault for my accident?

Georgia uses a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover as long as you were less than 50 percent at fault, though your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Do not assume you have no case, let us review it.

Will my case have to go to court?

Most personal injury cases settle without a trial. We prepare every case as if it is going to court, because that preparation is what produces strong settlement offers. Whether to accept an offer is always your decision.
