James M. Poe is an experienced and effective personal injury plaintiff’s attorney with particular expertise in medical malpractice. In practice since 1974, Jim has held a Martindale-Hubbell rating of AV (its highest rating) for more than 25 years, and has been voted a Georgia Superlawyer in medical malpractice by his peers every year from 2007-2017.. Jim began his law career as an insurance defense litigator with Swift, Currie, McGhee and Hiers, then left in 1983 with seven other partners to form the firm Drew, Eckl, and Farnham, also an insurance defense practice. His years of experience in representing insurance companies in serious cases taught him the issue analysis  and presentation skills that effectively move insurors toward  settlement.. While at Drew, Eckl, Jim handled a number of plaintiff’s matters – an experience he found both challenging and rewarding.  In 2003, he determined to enter a plaintiff’s practice full-time, forming the firm James M. Poe, P.C. He has handled a wide variety of personal injury, medical malpractice, product liability and wrongful death cases with significant positive results, including multiple seven and high-six-figure verdicts and settlements. In addition to negotiating many large settlements, Jim has won a number of sizable victories at trial, and has defended those verdicts as lead counsel in more than 40 appeals before the Georgia Court of Appeals, the Georgia Supreme Court and the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 5th and 11th Circuits.. Jim offers close personal attention to each client. He believes in being responsive and when he is in the office he answers his own phone so that clients can reach him and get a prompt response. He attacks each case with the belief that the truth is found in the details.  His attention to detail, both in understanding and developing the underlying facts of the case and determining the law which will control the case has been the  key to his success.

Kate’s behind the scenes experience has been invaluable in providing her with insight on nursing home and other civil litigation cases that most lawyers do not have. She worked as a staff attorney for Fulton County Superior Court Judge Jack Goger. This enabled her to learn the Court’s perspective regarding hundreds of different cases, including nursing home abuse, car accidents, medical malpractice, trucking accidents any many more, from the initial discovery stages through jury trial. She was also formally trained as a mediator while working for the Court.. After Kate completed her clerkship with Judge Goger, she worked for one of Atlanta’s top civil litigation defense firms, Carlock, Copeland & Stair, where she was made partner after building a successful nursing home practice. While at Carlock, Kate worked for many major insurance companies defending cases focusing on nursing home abuse, medical malpractice, and motor vehicle accidents. Learning about the nursing home industry from the inside out has made Kate an asset to any nursing home case.  Also knowing how the big insurance companies operate behind the scenes ensures Kate can evaluate a case the same way the insurance company does and know what they are thinking, what they are doing and why they are doing it.. Kate handles cases anywhere from the pre-suit phase, trial and the appellate level. Not all lawyers are able to handle appeals on the cases they litigate, but Kate argues her own appeals. She has even been fortunate enough to successfully argue before the Georgia Supreme Court.. Kate grew up in Lilburn, Georgia and attended Parkview High School. She obtained her undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia where she underwent a full time internship at the Athens-Clarke County Solicitor General’s office. Kate earned her law degree from Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Georgia where she was a member of the Moot Court Society and the Moot Court Review Board.. Kate has two wonderful sons, Jack and Connor. In her free time, she loves trying to learn new things such as golf and mountain biking. She is currently teaching herself to cook. Kate was an avid runner as a child and recently got back to running and completed her first half marathon in 2012. Kate loves to travel and experience other cultures. She is also a fan of live music and theatre.. Contact Kate at
