G. G. Joseph Kunes Jr.

I was born and raised in Tifton Georgia. Tifton is a great place to live but Interstate -75 runs through Tifton. Unfortunately many visitors have had the opportunity to meet the local Tifton law enforcement or have suffered from an automobile wreck on I-75. If you are one of those, and need help, give me a call for a free personal or telephone consultation. I am located across the street from the Courthouse in Tifton, 230 East Second Street,, Tifton Ga. 229-382-4900 Joe

When someone is killed by the wrongful or negligent conduct of another
person or entity, the legal remedy is called a wrongful death claim.The law
provides that the person's next of kin and his or her estate representative
may act as the plaintiffs to bring a civil action to recover economic and
non-economic damages. This may be true even if the deceased person was
partially at fault in the occurance that caused his or her death.
Joe has successfully represented clients in wrongful death claims arising
from automobile wrecks and wrongful death caused by medical negligence. Joe
