Reviews from Our Clients
I called Matt after several people recommended him. He was very kind and did a very good job on my son’s case. We are very thankful for the work he did. Most importantly, he was never hard to reach and answered every question we had while going through the process. Matt is the only attorney I will ever call in the future.

My husband is a cyclist that did not fair well against an SUV recently. Matt and his team took phenomenal care of us, allowing us not to stress out (too much) about the little things. Matt and his team handled everything with professionalism. We know we made the right call.
– Jane
So glad I hired this firm after my rearend car accident. Matt embodies the skill set and values I was looking for. He treats every case like a mini war, and was a zealous advocate on my behalf. And he did so in the most competent and skillful manner. He listened, was empathetic and understood my legal and nonlegal problems.
– Jared
My 85-year old mom was in a motor vehicle accident with an uninsured motorist. His love, thoroughness and commitment to her case helped us through this accident and her cancer treatment. She underwent successful lobectomy and chemotherapy and is doing exceptionally well. We are immensely grateful.

Q.
What Steps Do I Need to Take After an Accident?
A.
Following an accident in Atlanta, it is crucial that you take proactive measures to protect your health, well-being, and legal rights. Defendants and major insurance companies waste little time in crafting their defense strategy. Here are three key things to do after an accident in Georgia: CONTINUE READING
Q.
What is the Statute of Limitations for a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Georgia?
A.
The statute of limitations sets the deadline to file personal injury laws. In Georgia, personal injury claims are generally subject to a two-year statute of limitations. With a few exceptions in both directions, most personal injury lawsuits in Georgia must be filed within two years of the accident. CONTINUE READING
Q.
Who Can Be Held Legally Liable for My Injuries?
A.
One or more parties may be legally responsible for your injuries. In Georgia, an injured victim typically needs to prove that their accident was caused by the defendant’s negligence in order to hold them liable for the accident. There are some limited exceptions. For example, defective product claims fall under a strict liability standard. Still, in most personal injury claims, you need to prove that the defendant’s careless, reckless, or otherwise unreasonably dangerous conduct caused your accident. Successful personal injury claims require evidence. A thorough investigation is a must. CONTINUE READING
Q.
How Much Compensation Can I Recover through a Georgia Personal Injury Claim?
A.
The value of your Atlanta personal injury case will depend on several factors, including your ability to prove fault and the extent of your damages. In Georgia, injured victims can hold the at-fault party legally responsible for out-of-pocket and intangible damages. As defendants and insurers try to settle claims for less even when liability is clear, it is imperative your damages are well-documented. CONTINUE READING
Q.
Will My Atlanta Personal Injury Claim Go to Trial?
A.
It might—but most personal injury claims are resolved prior to a trial. Some studies estimate that less than five percent of personal injury cases actually go to trial.
