Albert Maitland Yates III

Todd initially began practicing law in the field of insurance defense where he mainly handled cases defending large corporations for approximately 7 years.  During that time, he tried numerous cases and spearheaded many appeals to the Georgia Court of Appeals and to the Georgia Supreme Court.  One Supreme Court case in which Todd was intrinsically involved, Robinson v. Kroger, set the applicable legal standard for summary judgment in premises liability cases in the State of Georgia.  Todd is especially proud of this unanimous Supreme Court decision in that it helped pave the way for people to ultimately obtain justice after being seriously injured while rightfully on another’s premises.  After this precedent setting case, Todd realized that his true passion was to help the injured, not the insurance companies.  Consequently, Todd began to focus only on handling cases for people who have been injured by the negligence of others including large corporations.
