Example Client Testimonials:

Eric and his staff are great. They really take the time to provide the personal care that all the big law offices seem to miss when I called them. I talked to several law offices and Eric was the only Lawyer that I talked to on my first visit with him. He did a great job on my case and got me the financial settle I deserved. Thanks Eric for your personal touch. - Michael R. Suwanee GA

Example of a settlement:

The friends and family of Mr. Robert G. are still coming to terms with his death not long ago after the man was crushed under the weight of a 3,000 pound slab of cement known in construction as a cement form. The construction site owners and operators said that Robert at fault because he was not "paying attention". And offered a small settlement if the family signed a waiver to pursue their rights. Luckily the family members decided to contact a lawyer and after an investigation it was found that Robert was exactly where he was supposed to be. When presented with the facts the owner offered to pay Roberts medical bills and for his funeral and 1 year of salary. The settlement ended up 30 times that amount.

If you or a family member are injured do not sign any waivers for your right and do not accept any settlement until you talked to a lawyer. They may tell you it was your or your loved ones fault as to why you got injured and the facts may show otherwise.
