Why Hire Us For Your Decatur, GA Accident Case?
Obsessed With Client Service
Our Decatur car accident lawyers go beyond just relentless legal representation of accident victims in order to maximize each clients recovery of their damages. From day one of our representation, we also obsess over providing exceptional client service to each of our injury clients.
We focus on being a different kind of personal injury firm. Too often we hear of other lawyers in the industry that never return phone calls for weeks; do not provide frequent updates to their clients without having to request first from the client; do not completely explaining every aspect of the client’s injury case; do not handle all aspects of the case themselves and instead hand it off to a “case manager” to handle the majority of the case; and most importantly are not interested in helping the client with various practical issues that come up in the client’s life that are affected by their injuries.
Instead, we are dedicated to all aspects of our client’s life that are affected by the wreck:
- We make sure someone is always able to answer your call or call you back immediately and if it is not one of our lawyers talking to you when you call we make sure that you hear from the lawyer within 24 hours; we make sure to always take the time to answer all questions you have during your case;
- We make sure you are kept up to date on what is going on in your case at the time and what the strategy is going forward; and
- Our trial lawyers always intimately involved in all aspects of your case until it is concluded through a favorable settlement or trial to a jury of your peers.
Results Driven Every Time
If you have been involved in a auto accident in Decatur, Georgia and are looking for the right lawyer to help you with your claim or case, you are no doubt interested in finding an attorney that can obtain the best result possible for case. This should ultimately be the goal of every injury lawyer, correct? Of course it should be.
Unfortunately, we have heard of many cases where it did not appear the lawyer involved was really that interested in obtaining the best result possible. Instead, we have heard of lawyers who have made their clients feel as if they were more focused on obtaining a quick settlement of their case in order to do as little work as possible so they could move on to the next case.
Our car wreck lawyers never do this. If we settle a case, we do so only if the client is sure he or she would rather settle than try the case to jury. Many “personal injury lawyers” do not actually try cases. You will not have that problem with us. We are ultimately trial lawyers who are not afraid to try each case we take if necessary to unlock the full value of a client’s accident case.
This does not mean that your case will end up being tried. We have found that preparing a case for trial from day one often times results in a much better settlement for our clients before trial. Of course, sometimes a case simply needs to be tried to a jury to obtain the full reimbursement of an injury victim’s damages.

Our Experience In Decatur, GA Cases
We have practiced in DeKalb County for many years. Our Atlanta office is conveniently located along I-285 providing our clients in Decatur with easy access to our attorneys and our attorneys with easy access to the courthouse in downtown Decatur.
We also practice in all other counties in the metro-Atlanta area and throughout Georgia as the case may be. Of all the counties we litigate and try cases, DeKalb County is one of our favorites.
Part of this is due to the fact that injury victims have a much better opportunity to receive full compensation for all of their damages after an auto accident in DeKalb County than in many other counties in Georgia. In trying numerous cases to DeKalb County jurors and in monitoring how jurors in other accident cases return verdicts, we have seen how DeKalb County jurors in large part are much less conservative than jurors in other counties when it comes to awarding monetary damages to a plaintiff after a car wreck.
This bodes well for every injury victim in Decatur, GA with a case in DeKalb County. A fair shake is all anyone injured after an accident expects and desires. DeKalb County will provide you with just that.

How Do I Pay For An Accident Lawyer?
There are no up front costs to hire one of our accident attorneys. Attorney’s fees are paid out of any settlement or verdict award as a percentage of what is recovered. This is called a contingency fee arrangement and is standard in the industry whether you hire our firm or another to handle your case.
Separate from the contingency fee are expenses paid to third parties to move your case toward trial. These include such things as paying to obtain all of your medical records and bills or the cost to take the deposition of the defendant.
Typically, these expenses are covered 100% by the firm during the case and paid back by you through the settlement or verdict proceeds. The point in doing it this way is so injury victims do not have any out of pocket expenses to pursue their case during their time of need.
Handling Your Property Damage Claim
The property damage claim is typically a claim we do not need to handle for our clients. This is because it is the one claim after a wreck that is often very straightforward and therefore not one the insurance company is going to make difficult for you.
