his page has no logical place to begin or end and few answers other than "Hug your lawyer today." After years of sticking up for the consumer against predatory business practices, it is easy to become jaded and cynical and think we've seen it all but every week I get surprised by some different exercise in corporate ingenuity designed to take the most dollar for the least value.

The truth is that most business people with whom we come in contact are honest, hard working and God fearing folk who will bend over backwards to try to satisfy a customer, client or patient, and we represent a number of small businesses and professional practices in Columbus, Georgia and the surrounding area. We decline much more consumer representation than we accept because communication breakdown and differences in expectation do not always give right to sue. Often, even if there is a legal right to recovery, the measure of damage is such that the economics of the case do not justify the use of a lawyer. You cannot spend upwards $200 per hour pursuing a $1,000 problem very far. Fortunately, both Federal and Georgia law provide that you may recover attorneys fees and other expenses of litigation for many kinds of misconduct.

If we choose to accept a case on a contingent fee, that is where we share in the recovery for a successful outcome, it will be because we are convinced that yours is a case that merits pursuit with our resources. When you come to see us to discuss the matter, bring with youi every piece of paper you have that may help illustrate the legal problem to us. Often, you may not know what the problem is, or the problem is something other than what you think it is, or you may have more problems than you think you have. In that respect, law is like medicine...you can tell your lawyer about the pain but your lawyer can much better serve you if he can perform a thorough examination.

So, this is not the conventional site map with many links. You can navigate your way around using the menu bar at the top of the page. Enjoy.
