Firm: Burress Personal Injury Law

I'm happy to go to trial to recover what you deserve for your injury. With over 20 years of litigation experience and over 150 jury trials in three states, n under my belt, I go out of my way to ensure that careless corporations don’t harm the public. As a former defense attorney for two large national insurance companies, I saw many clients who were at the mercy of big business and was troubled by the way they were treated. My experience inspired me to change career paths and protect the public from the negligence and the wrongdoing of big companies.. I attended Oklahoma’s East Central University on a full scholarship as a Hornbeak Scholar, and graduated in 1996, having double-majored in History and Criminal Justice. Upon graduation, I attended law school at the University of Oklahoma, and tried multiple cases under my legal intern’s license before graduating.. My legal career is expansive, having practiced family law, bankruptcy law and criminal defense and even providing representation to low-income defendants as a public defender. I have won various awards and recognition for my legal services including a nomination for the Distinguished Service Award of 2007 and winner of the 2007 Famers Trial Horse of the Year, which was awarded by Farmer’s Insurance for trying more cases than any other Farmer’s attorney over the course of that year. My diverse experience brings valuable insight and a unique perspective.. One early inspiration to stand up for others was the Harper Lee classic, “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Finch inspired me because he stood up against his entire community and did the right thing, even tho it wasn't the popular thing.  Justice and a sense of doing the right thing, rather than the expedient thing have been themes of mine for as long as I can remember.. I am married and have three children.

At the age of 12, I went through the criminal justice system as a victim. It was such a terrible experience that it motivated me to become an attorney.

I grew more and more committed to becoming an attorney who genuinely cares about their clients.. I started my career as an Insurance Adjuster. Shortly after, I went to law school and practiced corporate law. In 1995, I came to Atlanta to open my own personal injury law firm from just $.
