    This is an area of law that brings me great personal satisfaction. Very often, injured workers suffered the most serious of personal injuries yet are also the most vulnerable to abuse by workers' compensation insurance companies. Also, these cases are also often related to personal injury cases, for instance, if an employee's injury has been caused by a third party.

    Review Charles McAleer

    Helping the little guy

    Posted by

    My situation was not as serious as some, but Charles and Katherine Jackson treated me like I was an important client. Their advice made all the difference in me getting approved for social security disability. Could not have done it without their help.

    Professional, Straight Forward, and Comfortable to Work With

    I am so grateful that Charles McAleer took my case after I had a recent auto accident. His experience, advice, and organized approach made our dealings with the insurance company go smoother than I could ever have imagined. The settlement he got for me was more than I expected and he kept me informed on every step. Thank You Charles.

    Had Great Experience

    I went to Charles after I was hit in a car accident last year. He, and especially his paralegals, were very considerate and actually cared about me. They helped me BIG time..My stettlement was way more than I could even imagine. They are great about keeping you in the loop and getting your case done fast.

    An Outstanding, Trustworthy Attorney

    Charles WON my case. He won my case in the most honest, upstanding, admirable, way. My civil case lasted five years (not to our doing) and Charles stayed in superior communications every step of the way. I was blessed to have him and his staff by my side during this time. I recommend him as an outstanding person & attorney. 110%

    Charles handled a personal injury suit that was primarily for symptoms that were not simple to demonstrate to the jury. Throughout the case Charles was professional and well prepared. We won an excellent settlement for this type of case.

    Best attorney for my case

    Posted by

    After my case was turned down by several firms, I asked Mr. McAleer to review my case. He did and he thought he could win it. The insurance company did not offer me one dime, even at trial and after the jury was deliberating. The Gwinnett jury returned a verdict in my favor for $300,000. I was in tears. I will always be thankful to Mr. McAleer for believing in my case and in me.

    Charles could be considered the virtuoso of favorable resolutions to auto accident cases. He believes in doing right by his clients, which means no case is too big or too small. He has continuously recovered millions of dollars in settlements for his clients. He’s a family man who has not only made an impact in the law community of the U.S., but also abroad at the University of Trier, Germany. I endorse this lawyer.

    I had the pleasure of dealing with and getting to know Charles Mcaleer . He is a top- notch lawyer and a very decent human being. Charles is real and sincere.

    Richard Ryczek, Personal injury Attorney on Feb 6, 2013
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    Charles represented a former client of mine. Although she was very much wronged, the nature of her case was such that a financial recovery would be very difficult, even unlikely. Charles worked hard on her case, took it trial, and earned a verdict that compensated her for every penny of her loss. It was an excellent result that could have only been obtained by a spectacular lawyer. I do not hesitate to recommend Charles Mcaleer.

    Mr. McAleer is a phenomenal injury attorney. I was privileged to have the opportunity to try a case with him a few months ago. He made a brilliant argument in closing which lead the jury to make an award of $75,000 in punitive damages to our client. I highly recommend Mr. McAleer.
