Kent Buis

My goal is to help people resolve their legal problems

  At the end a long career as a computer programmer and road warrior in payroll/personnel software, I decided I neither wanted to retire nor to write another IF THEN statement. So I enrolled at Atlanta's John Marshall Law School and graduated in May, 2015.

  My first plan was to be a Public Defender, so after taking the 2016 Bar Exam I returned to the Public Defender's Office, Atlanta Judicial Circuit, where I assisted with representation of persons charged with felonies in Fulton County. Six months later the office announced furloughs for their paid staff due to budget problems, while I was running out of money. Time for Plan B: I returned to my old career, saved my money, and have now opened The Buis Law Firm near the new Sun Trust Stadium.

  As a travelling software consultant, I got to spend typically six months at a business working on a software project. I was exposed to different workplace environments, ate at a lot of restaurants, and sat on a lot of planes. Now I want to give back to the community where I live, providing legal advice and representation to individuals with a legal problem.
