Helpful Reviews

What a nightmare experience! My wife and I had an argument that got out of hand. The neighbors called the police and I was taken to jail. A friend of mine told me about Mr. Suggs. After reading his reviews, I contacted his office and he took the time to explain my options and what I could expect... in front of a judge. I told Mr. Suggs that I contacted him based on what I had read. At that time, I also told him that I hope I would be one of his clients writing a review. Needless to say I am. I went to court this morning. Mr. Suggs was there waiting for me. Long story short, things worked out better than I expected. Yes, I am happy to get this behind me so I can move on. If I ever need a lawyer again, it is no question who I will call. I just feel good about having his card in my wallet!

Exceeded My Expectation

My husband was charged with the unthinkable. We were both frightened at the prison time facing him. You were referred to us by a friend who had utilized your law firm previously. Today, after many sleepless nights, you were able to get these charges reduced, as well as get some them dismissed. Th...ank you so much for everything you did. You practically saved our family! We would like to invite you to our celebration dinner. Your invitation is on the way!

Over and Over Again

I work in the judicial system in Fulton County. I see and hear so many different criminal defense attorneys defend client cases. It is so true....'all lawyers are not alike.' For those who are in need of a good attorney, Mr. Suggs is at the top of the list. He is always well-prepared, charismati...c with the way he speaks to the Judge, and very knowledgeable of the law. He would definitely be the attorney I call if I find myself needing legal representation.

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.

Thank you

Title: Thank you After my sister’s car accident, she didn’t know what to do or who to trust. You were referred to us by her doctor. What a difference you made. I was with her when she came to talk with you. Your professionalism and knowledge made us both feel that she had made the right deci...sion to retain you. Her case was resolved and she was fully compensated for her medical payments, as well as her pain and suffering. Thank you for being there for our family.

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.”
