I have dedicated my entire career to injury law in the State of Georgia.  I spent the first half of my career defending claims for the insurance companies and the second half of my career representing injured Georgians, primarily those injured at work.  Needless to say, the later half of my career has been far more rewarding.  In that effort, I represent English, Portuguese, and Spanish speaking Georgians.  Feel free to call for a free consultation or to have your questions answered.

I have been involved in the criminal justice system for over 36 years, and still enjoy representing my clients.  We all are human, some of us make mistakes, others find themselves in situations beyond their control.  When my clients are investigated or prosecuted for an alleged crime, I make it my practice to not judge what happened. Instead, I want to first understand the situation, then come up with a plan designed to get the best possible outcome for the person I am representing.. I am very lucky.  I continue to enjoy my job, even after 36 years. Anyone reading this who is facing criminal charges should contact my office to discuss your situation.  I look forward to hearing from you.

I have been a solo practitioner or a partner in a small law firm since graduating from Emory law school in 1988. It is my philosophy to give each client as much individual attention as their case needs for a successful conclusion. In immigration matters, I also advise clients when they have no case to remain in the United States, rather than take a case and say, "sorry,"  thousands of dollars later. It is better for clients' interests that the client take his or her hard earned money to their home country to start a new life rather than to spend it on a "wild goose chase" with the Federal Government.. I spend little time promoting myself for the benefit of the general public and for my peers, unlike many others in this profession. I find excessive lawyer advertising to be demeaning to the profession and often misleading. I only engage in it minimally in order to allow existing clients and referrals to find me. I do host an occasional radio show in Spanish.. Outside of my law practice, I am an avid golfer and fly fisherman, and a world traveller.

I have been a construction lawyer for 24 years.  Before becoming a lawyer, I was an estimator and project manager in commercial construction.

I have 35 years experience in litigation of all types in State and Federal courts in Georgia.  I strive to give each client personalized atttention.

I handle a wide variety of business litigation in the areas of accountant liability, business torts, appeals, contract, copyright and trademark protection, corporate governance, and trade secrets.. After graduating from New York University School of Law, I worked for two years with Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson in both the litigation and corporate departments, volunteered in Montpellier, France in a children’s hospital assisting in recreational and educational activities, then went on to clerk for the Honorable William S. Duffey, Jr. of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

I grew up between Brooklyn, New York and Long Island. I attended New York University on an academic scholarship as the first in my family to graduate from college. You can say I beat the odds.. After graduating from NYU, I moved to Atlanta in 2000 to pursue a career in IT with IBM. While working at IBM, I started a successful promotions company, as a side interest, that would teach me so much about people and Atlanta as a whole. Despite this success, I decided to pursue a lifelong goal of becoming an attorney. I graduated from Georgia State University College of Law at the top of my class. In my practice, I combine my understanding of my city (Atlanta) and the inherent toughness gained from my childhood neighborhood to provide zealous advocacy for my clients. As my legal career continues, I continue to be active in my community and hope to inspire the next generation of attorneys.

I graduated from University of Georgia School of Law in 1987.  I have 28 years of litigation experience and am AV rated.

I focus my practice on real estate closings and community association law, specifically homeowners associations, condominium associations, and commercial associations, including mixed use, "green", and age-restricted community documents.  I help homeowners, developers, lenders, and others in creating, interpreting, enforcing, and administering these documents, including compliance with the Georgia Condominium Act, the Georgia POA Act (particuarly in adopting its terms), and other statutes that may apply.  As well, I assist in navigating the practicalities of running an association, including dealing with calling annual meetings, holding elections, or creating comitteess.. In 2013, Andersen, Tate & Carr, P.C. named me the head of its residential and construction closing practice group.. In addition, I have also mediated real-estate related disputes, with an emphasis on finding cost effective and realistic solutions. Using the insights I have learned through my representation of homeowners, lenders, developers, builders and association board members I am able to share perspectives that otherwise might not have been considered to bring parties closer together.. One of my toughest projects was to be part of the team, led by Thomas J. Andersen, responsible for negotiating and closing the purchase of the Beltline by one of our firm's clients in 2004 (Atlanta Business Chronicle’s "Deal of the Year 2004") and to remain involved with the continuing complex development issues that arose from the Beltline, including its sale to another development entity in late 2007 (the sale was listed in Atlanta Business Chronicle’s "Deal Makers" list, March 2008).

I focus on devising efficient, effective and creative solutions to complex legal problems. Whether dealing with transactions or litigation, I counsel my clients to assume very little and to be realistic in their plans and expectations. I further advise them that they must be honest with me in order to enable me to maximize my effectiveness in providing legal representation to them.

I enjoy practicing family law (many lawyers don't).  I often present CLE seminars and always learn so much when I prepare my remarks.. I grew up in New Orleans (yes, I am a long suffering Saints fan whose suffering has ended) and have lived in Atlanta since I started law school at Emory in 1985.. What sets our firm apart from many, is how many resources we have to help you.  In addition to 13 lawyers who all specialize in family law, we have 15 staff members including paralegals, law clerks and others and we maintain close relationships with many forensic accountants, psychologists and private investigators to ensure we can meet our clients' needs on a moment's notice.

I currently reside in California, but my law office and practice remain in Georgia.  I am not licensed to practice law in California.

I began my career working at my father's law office primarily handling domestic and/or family law cases. All I had ever wanted to do was to go to trial and litigate, but I realized handling Family Law Matters would result in few trials and even fewer jury trials.  To broaden my chances of getting more trial work, I decided to join Gwinnett County's Appointed Lawyer list.  At first, I was a little disappointed on the types of cases the magistrate judges were appointing me, so I decided I needed to introduce myself around to other judges in other courts.  I went and introduced myself to the judges with Gwinnett County's Recorder's Court, and as a result, begin getting appointed DUI cases left and right.  From the start I was hooked.  I was so surprised and enthralled at how complicated and vast DUI litigation was, I knew I needed to learn from the best if I was/am to become the best, so I went to every DUI seminar available, received training in administering standardized field sobriety tests and DUI detection, and attended various trial seminars/colleges.  As a result I have focused my entire legal practice towards DUI Defense and/or other DUI related cases, and 2011 has been a very successful year.  Everyday I am excited to go to work knowing I get to help those who are virtually helpless and the various challenges and the excitement I experience handling those challenges.  I am truly blessed to have found a career and type of law I truly love practicing.

I am  the founder of Toth Law.  I will personally guide you through you the legal process, and provide you with serious, aggressive legal representation.  After years of defending insurance companies, I know what it takes to get your claim resolved.

I am third generation lawyer who helps individuals and couples protect their loved ones and build a legacy through the creation of comprehensive estate plans, including the preparation of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advanced healthcare directives, and related documents.. For those who've recently lost a loved one, I also assist with the probate process.. For a select number of clients, I also handle fiduciary litigation matters, including business partnership and trust disputes, and act as local counsel for both large and medium sized companies.. I founded my own law firm after eight years at one of the largest firms in the world to provide high quality legal services on a more personal scale..

The mission of HBL is to provide comprehensive employee benefits and executive compensation services that exceed client expectations and are affordable.. Prior to founding HBL, I practiced ERISA law for more than six years with two of Atlanta's largest law firms.  I earned my Juris Doctor from the University of Alabama School of Law in 2006, and a Master of Laws in Taxation, with distinction, from Georgetown University Law Center in 2007. I earned a Master of Science in International Development from the University of Bath in 2001 and a Bachelor of Science in Finance and Economics, magna cum laude, in 2000 from Birmingham-Southern College.

I am proud to provide professional and individualized attention to each client. Our goal is not to take as many cases as possible to trial each year, but to make sure that our clients' interests are well-served.. I lecture throughout the year at various law enforcement academies in Georgia on many different subjects including criminal law and procedure, courtroom demeanor, rules of evidence and other topics of law.  I am an avid motorcyclist for many years and a member of the Blue Knights International Motorcycle Club.. I am an FAA licensed pilot with multi-engine, instrument, and commercial ratings.

I am Philadelphia native who loves the Georgia sun. After high school, I joined the Army to serve my country and help people. During my military service I was responsible for adminstrative actions and postal operations while serving in various states and overseas. I graduated with my B.A. degree in Criminal Justice from Florida A&M University and my law degree from North Carolina Central University. After graduation, I decided to continue my public service as a Federal Investigator for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commision.. My desire to assist people lead me to open my law firm in 2013. My law practice has included Estate Planning, Criminal Law, Disablity Advocay and Personal Injury. I look forward to providing excellent customer service through strategic advocacy.

I am passionate about my clients. I believe the “practice of law” has been lost in the modern law practice. Other firms practice “the business of law.” They see clients as the value of their case and how much money can be collected for a settlement in the least amount of time. The practice of law focuses on the best interests of the client and serving their needs for the best possible result. The practice of law also focuses on achieving justice, which is offering clients a voice in a complicated legal system.. Other firms who take any case offered them are practicing a business model that forces them to quickly settle cases without becoming experts in the cases they represent. This means that justice is sacrificed because other firms haven’t developed the expertise or desire needed to achieve the highest value of the case. My clients are more than just the cases they represent. I am passionate about achieving justice for them.. I’ve spent over 25 years honing my craft in personal injury litigation. I was drawn to personal injury because I was fascinated by trial law. I enjoyed having the ability to change people’s lives. Medicaid and Truck Transportation companies and their insurance teams wield tremendous power over accident victims. I enjoy using my experience and expertise to provide power to people who would otherwise have no voice.. It’s a fighting spirit and tenacity I learned from my parents. As a boy working on my father’s farm, I learned the value of hard work and a determination to never give up.. Call now for a Free Consultation
