Please see my attorney profiles at the following links for the most current information and additional details about my practice:

Over the course of my dozen-plus years of practicing commercial and civil litigation, I have handled hundreds of legal disputes and cases of various types, ranging from simple breach of contract actions in Small Claims Court, to complex Federal Class Actions - and virtually every other type of dispute along the spectrum. However, since beginning my own law practice almost eight years ago, I have slowly developed and directed the focus of my practice towards certain specified areas of law, and my reputation in the community has followed accordingly.

In particular, the majority of my practice (which is almost entirely litigation) is devoted to Contracts, Construction/Real Estate/Lien (including landlord-tenant/leases), Insurance, Credit/Credit Reporting, Collections Defense, Banking and related Consumer Finance and Lending law [e.g. TILA (Truth in Lending Act), FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act), FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act), FCBA (Fair Credit Billing Act), FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act), Regulation M (Consumer Truth in Leasing Act), the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA)], Consumer Class Actions and related matters.

Yet this focus is far from exclusive, and my previous litigation experience is varied and extensive and allows me to competently handle a variety of matters, including Copyright/Trademark, Interstate Transportation (Carmack Amendment), GA Lemon Law, Warranties, Auto Dealer Fraud, False Imprisonment/Arrest, Malicious Prosecution, Libel/Slander/Defamation, Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)[i.e. "Junk Faxes", Cybersquatting and SPAM), ERISA, Products and Premises Liability, Wrongful Death, among many others.

Professional Biography & Experience

Prior to forming my own law firm, I was a Litigation Associate at one of the nation's largest firms, Epstein, Becker & Green ("EBG"), where I represented both Plaintiffs and Defendants in complex business matters. Prior to that, I began my legal career at one of Atlanta's oldest law firms, Greer, Klosik & Daugherty ("GKD"), where I practiced almost exclusively Insurance Defense law.

It was at GKD that I developed the core foundation of my civil litigation experience, by virtue of having responsibility for handling hundreds of cases from start to finish. This included, for example, conducting scores of depositions, attending dozens of hearings, drafting hundreds of motions and countless discovery pleadings and acting as lead or co-counsel in at least 20 jury trials, all during the first few years of my law practice.

PLEASE NOTE:

If you have a question about a dispute, claim, case, issue or other matter, please CAREFULLY review the information and resources at the links below BEFORE contacting me. Also, please keep in mind that I much prefer to receive, and am much more likely to respond to, inquiries and communications sent via email, as opposed to the telephone [primarily because I have more time to devote to such matters at night, on the weekend and otherwise after business hours].

Unfortunately, due to the volume of telephone calls I receive, I am unable to answer general legal questions from referrals and other potential clients about disputes or concerns for which you do not genuinely intend to retain my and my law firm's professional services. And while I am certainly willing to briefly discuss your case or concern with you over the phone, without charge, in order to determine if it is a matter for which you may want to formally hire me, the majority of my limited time is devoted to helping existing clients with existing cases.

In addition, due to certain professional rules of ethics, I am unable to give legal advice or answer questions over the phone about specific disputes, issues or laws. For example, it would be imprudent and impossible to provide competent legal advice about a dispute that involves the review of or knowledge about a contract, agreement, correspondence or other written document [e.g. car purchase, apartment lease, garnishment, etc.].

However, I am in the process of developing some standard flat-fee arrangements whereby, for instance, I will agree to conduct an initial contract review or draft a demand letter (and meet with you briefly). And while I have not yet decided what the specific charges or fees might be for such tasks, I am estimating the range to be between $500 and $1,000. Please feel free to contact me for specific information if this kind of arrangement is of interest to you.
