Great attorney, great staff
We've had the misfortune of being on the wrong end of two fairly significant car crashes in the course of a year or so. Ben was recommended to me by someone well respected in the Cobb County judicial circles. He and his staff did not disappoint. By nature, we are not litigious and have never filed a ...

If you want a lawyer who actually cares, choose BEN!!!!!
Wow, where do I start? I was struck by a drunk driver in Atlanta. I was referred to Ben by a family friend. The only referral I've ever received that was actually worth it.

Ben Persons's Lawyer Endorsements
"Ben has tremendous experience and knowledge gained from being on the defense side of personal injury litigation, and he brings that knowledge to bear on behalf of his clients on the plaintiff's side. I frequently turn to him for advice or to bounce ideas off of him, and am consistently impressed by his depth of knowledge and his thoughtfulness. This is a great lawyer."
"Ben is a first-rate lawyer. He has extensive experience on both sides of cases and his clients benefit from it. Ben and I have worked several big cases together and I have always learned a great deal from just being around him. He is smart about how he litigates, he pushes hard when needed, and he knows how try a case. One of the best compliments I can give any lawyer (and it's definitely true of Ben) is that he treats every case with the same amount of respect and attention. The less valuable cases where he wants to help get the same attention as the ones where the settlement/verdict will likely be many millions."
"Mr. Persons is a well-respected Personal Injury / Auto Accident / Med Malpractice attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a lawyer who truly cares about protecting the rights of clients and getting them the most favorable result possible. Mr. Persons is a terrific lawyer.
