For twenty years, I worked for a well-respected Atlanta law firm practicing insurance defense law.  In 2013, I began exclusively representing injured people against insurance companies and other people and companies that negligently caused injuries and damages.  My experience handling cases for insurance companies provides an excellent background for now representing injured clients.  I provide all clients with my personal cell phone number so they can reach me any time.  I have tried and won cases in Georgia state and federal courts - including cases where millions of dollars were at stake - and I have argued cases to the Georgia Court of Appeals and Georgia Supreme Court..
