My daughter was hit by a drunk driver a year and a half ago. While my daughter as not injured, her (my) vehicle sustained a large amount of damage but not enough for the insurance company to consider it a total loss. We had the repairs made and moved on. A year and a half later, after meeting Philip Pendergrass, we discussed this unfortunate incident. Philip explained that we could still go back to the insurance company and seek further compensation based on diminished value of the vehicle, etc. e turned all documentation over to Philip and he aggressively pursued a fair and just settlement for us. And he was successful!!
Mr. Pendergrass was very knowledgeable and very supportive throughout the entire process of my lawsuit. I will recommend him to anyone and will definitely utilize their services again if need be. Thanks Mr. Pendergrass, keep up the outstanding work!
Philip was born and raised in the Atlanta area. He attended Providence Christian Academy in Lilburn, Georgia, where he was a pitcher on the varsity baseball team. Philip continued to pursue his love for baseball into college before an injury to his shoulder ended his playing career. Philip graduated from Augusta State University, renamed Augusta University, before earning his Juris Doctor from the University of Georgia.
While in law school, Philip was a member of the Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, Student Bar Association, Public Defender Clinic, and student attorney in the Public Interest Practicum.

Philip has dedicated his practice solely on representing individuals who have suffered personal injuries due to the wrongful acts of others. Philip focuses his practice on dangerous drugs, defective medical products, auto and trucking accidents, premises liability cases, and serious personal injury. As a trial attorney with The Pendergrass Law Firm, Philip invests great care and attention to detail in his zealous pursuit to deliver justice and maximum value for his clients.
