More attorneys should be like Jeff Dover

Jeff's desire to educate his clients is extremely helpful. He is one of the few attorneys today who believes that clients should be educated fully about their rights. Many attorneys speak down to their clients and do not bother explaining the law to their clients. Jeff is the opposite. He will ma...ke you feel comfortable. He will also discuss your options with you. Great guy to speak with about any injury case.

"Jeffrey Dover is a nationally recognized personal injury and medical malpractice attorney.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Jeff Dover as an attorney who will work tirelessly for his clients. Jeff is a nationally recognized lawyer who is tenacious when working on behalf of his clients. He also makes sure that his clients are well informed prior to, and during, his representation of them by providing free information that will help his clients understand the injury claim process. You will do yourself a great disservice if you need a personal injury attorney in the Atlanta area and do not hire Jeff Dover. If you do not hire him, your opponent surely will!!!"

Personal injury lawyer | Apr 27

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I attended a national seminar with Mr. Dover designed to develop professionalism, honesty and trust in the relationship between attorneys and their clients and the general public. Mr. Dover is an excellent attorney his clients can trust will have the experience and integrity to move a case rapidly forward to successful resolution while keeping them informed every step of the way. In fact, he has written very helpful and informative books about the claims process that he provides to clients and to the general public for free to educate them about the claims and litigation process. I highly recommend him for anyone with a personal injury matter in Atlanta, or anywhere else in Georgia for that matter. He is truly a first-class attorney in every respect."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have referred many personal injury and medical malpractice clients to Jeff Dover over the past 20 years. Those clients invariably reported back that they were very satisfied with the settlement obtained for them by the Dover Law Firm. One medical malpractice client even received a settlement close to a Million Dollars! Unlike the personal injury "mills" this firm will treat you in a professional and business-like manner. Jeff is an easy-going fellow to work with, but very knowledgable, experienced and tenacious in obtaining the best settlement possible from the insurance companies for his clients."

"I've known Jeff for a while. What makes Jeff unique is that he is willing to give away a ton of information that the consumer can use while they are trying to decide if they even need a lawyer. His book, Four Common Mistakes, is terrific... I'd highly recommend that if you are looking for a personal injury attorney in the Atlanta area that you give Jeff's firm a call, order his book and then get in there and chat with him.. you won't be disappointed."
