Cary is thoughtful, experienced and when he sinks his teeth in to something he is like a pit bull. The thing about Cary that separates him from most other attorneys that I have dealt with is he takes things personally. He takes it home with him. He fights on when others blow the 5 O'clock whistle.
Would I recommend him? For a thousand reasons yes!
Representing victims of government and corporate abuse, e.g., claims concerning false arrest, malicious prosecution, and retaliation for speech-related activities.
Results. Our job is to identify your issue and deliver a solution. What sets us apart from other law firms is our track record. A boutique civil rights practice, our Atlanta First Amendment lawyers developed our expertise over years of helping restaurants, nightclubs and other businesses reach their goals. We also lend our skills to individuals facing discrimination. Using experience, intelligence and pragmatism, we get excellent results for our clients.
Efficiency. Clients want quick answers. So we have pioneered a billing format that rewards speedy results, not protracted litigation. By offering “value billing” rather than hourly billing, we customize fee arrangements to fit client expectations. We also offer flat fees. Our performance-based fee structures and state-of-the-art research and case-management systems help us solve matters efficiently.
Dedication. In our mission statement we put the client first. This is why messages received during business hours are answered before the sun sets. E-mails are promptly returned. And clients are updated with phone calls and detailed summaries — not hourly bills. It is the dedication of our Atlanta First Amendment attorneys that makes delivering superb service come naturally.
My passion for representing the underdog has lead us to broaden our practice niche slightly: For the past several years, in addition to representing businesses, we have represented individuals who have suffered civil rights violations. The cases are hard. But that aspect only makes winning (i.e., achieving client satisfaction) that much more meaningful.
