Your Search Has Ended

If you're looking for outstanding service, helpfulness, and a personable demeanor, your search for a lawyer has ended. Mr. Suggs was there for every step of my accident aftermath, injury treatment, insurance claim and all. He never spared an informative answer to my many questions. You always hear... about people getting taken advantage of in this professional environment. I was blessed enough to not experience any of those nightmares, in fact, Mr. Suggs was a dream come true. Some of these reviews must have accidentally clicked on the wrong lawyer, or maybe living in an alternative universe. I treated Mr. Suggs with due respect, and he repaid me exceedingly with respect and diligence to my issues. Do not hesitate to have Mr. Suggs handle your legal matters.

Awesome Attorney

I was in an car accident and tried to deal with the insurance company on my own. They didn't want to accept responsibility for the accident even though their insured was in the wrong. I was in so much pain that I did a search for accident attorneys and I found Attorney Suggs who had some one get in... touch with me the same night. I spoke with him and with in a matter of a few days I had a check for the total amount of my car, my rental reimbursement, and my personal property damage. He found me the best doctors to get treatment and dealt with the insurance company so I never had to get frustrated again. I am happy with the outcome and with the service Attorney Suggs provided for me and my family. Once again I would recommend him and use him again if needed to.

A Difference of $157,000 in my case

I was hit by a car who pulled in front of me. The impact was hard enough that it caused my air bags to deploy. The other driver was clearly at fault. I suffered burns on my chest from the air bag impact as well as cuts and bruises on my legs and arms. The other party's insurance tried to minimize... my damages as well as the well-being of my health. Attorney Suggs refused to back down on my behalf, which was why I chose him in the first place (disciplined by the bar because he would not back down from the other attorney). His diligence and expertise were the reasons why my settlement was $157,000 more than what the insurance company tried to settle my case.

Costly Lesson Learned

I was in a recent car accident and the other driver was at fault. The driver was charged with DUI. I was referred to Attorney Suggs. Unfortunately, thinking I could handle this on my own, I trusted the other insurance company. To my surprise, they denied my claim. I couldn't believe it! The in...surance adjuster acted like he wanted to help me. After three weeks of going back and forth, I called Attorney Suggs back. I expected him to say, "I told you so!" But he did not. He was very professional and agreed to work on my case. He and I met the same day. Within 48 hours, the at-fault insurance company changed their entire tone when Attorney Suggs got involved. I almost screwed my self by allowing the other insurance company to act like they were befriending me. Never again! Lesson learned the hard way. Thank you Attorney Suggs.

He Got The Job Done

I was injured in a car accident. After the run around with the insurance company I decided to hire an attorney. The search led me to The Suggs Law Firm. I was impressed with Mr. Suggs during our initial phone call. He was very genuine and made me feel he had my best interest at heart. Mr. Sug...gs does what he says he's going to do. His integrity is above reproach, and when you call him, you actually speak to him. I was awarded a very fair settlement during mediation process without going to trial. He's an excellent negotiator, compassionate for your needs, and made the difficult legal process tolerable. He will get the job done and works hard to earn you every dollar possible for your suffering. I highly recommend the services of Mr. Suggs.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2006.

Review Panel Reprimand issued in GA, 2006

updated on 08/10/2012

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case, the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Eldridge’s comment:

“unfortunately, this reprimand was made by the opposing Attorney because I would not back down from defending my client.”
