Had nothing but pleasant experiences

Ms. Poirier and her staff are some of the most polite and pleasant people to deal with. They will make time for you and will make wellness checks at least once every week if not every other week. They are on their A game every day and will go to bat for you. They are transparent, even if you aren’t an Atlanta native.

Awesome experience

I was having some issues with my injury and didn’t fully understand my rights. I met with Mrs. Poirier and she explained to me my rights. She made sure that I had everything I needed to get better physically and mentally. Now her staff (Sharon, Sherri, Julie , Andrea) are top notch ladies. They are so understanding, caring, efficient and professional. They checked in with me to make sure I was ok. My entire process was easy and they made me feel relaxed and confident regarding the process. Whenever I needed to talk to Mrs. Poirier she would talk or return my call no matter how complex or simple. I highly recommend her office, you won’t go wrong. Thank you Atty J. Poirier and staff for all you did. It does not go unnoticed.

Superb, professional, and would hire again!

From the moment of my father’s accident until the mediation, Julie and her staff walked us through what we could expect in this scenario. Julie has great support who were there at the point when it was critical to gather information, point us in the right direction of the the counsel we needed to seek, and she herself was reliable in her personal communication with us. There was never a point that we felt like we were in the dark because she always communicated what we were supposed to expect in this scenario. While I wish for no one to be in this situation, if you are, I highly recommend Julie. She truly is someone who has your back from the start to the finish.

Incredible service! Mrs. Poirier was prompt and communication was GREAT! I would highly recommend.

Undeniable Excellence

Ms. Poirier is the very definition of an outstanding attorney. She is knowledgeable, calm under pressure, and most of all compassionate. As busy as she and her team are they still take the time to check on their clients. From A to Z she made sure we were well taken care of, she took the time to explain everything, and made sure that no stone was unturned regarding our case. If it wasn't for her perseverance and tenacity our case would have been a lost cause. In short, Ms. Poirier is a God send, a rare breed indeed in her profession.
