"I Got My Life Back On Track"

I cannot begin to fully express the gratitude and respect I have for Mr. Suggs. He is clearly a caring, devoted, and passionat lawyer and person. I had numerous criminal charges (18) to be exact and was faced with the uncertainty of this affecting my nursing career. Mr. Suggs was always profession...al, diligent and organized while having this amazing supportive attitude; knowing every step of the way that his goal was to protect me and my rights. I was always comforted by the sense of knowing that he truly cared about my future. These genuine character traits put Mr. Suggs in a class all his own. I ended up with only 3 charges and my life is already back on track thanks to Mr. Suggs. He by far exceeded by expectations and I would highly recommend him. Having him represent me, changed my life for the better and I will always be grateful for the impact he has made in my life.

Great attorney to work with

Best Attorney For Personal Injury I’m very pleased with the services of the Suggs Law Firm. My case was very stressful. From the aches and pains I had in the beginning to dealing with the insurance companies one-on-one. But then, having to go through litigation –again, it was very stressful. And ...it makes you feel like you’re a bad guy, and having somebody on your side proving that you’re not the bad guy, that you’re a victim feels very nice. And that’s exactly what happened. From the beginning of my first appointment with Mr. Suggs, he came across as professional at all times, very down to earth, and very informative at all times. Any questions I had, he explained in full detail, but in layman’s terms. . . . Mr.Suggs prepping me, the meeting beforehand, worked out really well. The preparation for that helped me a lot. I tend to talk very fast. Mr.Suggs helped me with that so that I could come across not scatter-brained, scared and confused and just really focus on the truth. And that was very helpful. I am very pleased with the settlement he got me! Very pleased!!

Great Personal Injury Lawyer

My friend got seriously injured in a truck accident and I had no idea what to do. I did not know whether to contact a truck accident lawyer, or personal injury lawyer. The trucking company refused to take any responsibility of the accident and worse, the driver was let off after a small bail amount. ...This is when some other close friends recommended me to get in touch with a personal injury attorney based in Atlanta, GA (we live out of town). Luckily we contacted The Suggs Law Firm. They provided all the legal help free of charge and worked on contingency basis. During trial, the trucking company was found responsible for the accident and my friend got compensation for the losses she suffered. It will surely help her to get her life back on the track again. Thanks for the help ! I would surely recommend The Suggs Law Firm to anyone who is looking for a reliable personal injury attorney!

A SINCERE THANK YOU!

I recently had the pleasure of having Mr. Suggs save my life. I was falsley accused of domestic violence against my husband. After contacting The Suggs Law Firm I spoke with Attorney Suggs right away. Mr. Suggs was able to take immediate action in my case and was even able to convince the prosecutor ...not to file charges against these apparent falsle allegations. I was able to keep my nursing license and certifications with no action taking against me. Calling The Suggs Law Firm was the smartest thing I have ever done for myself.

Great attorney

Attorney Suggs is a stand up lawyer. My son was facing a Sexual Assault case. He understood our situation and provided us with sound advise. Attorney Suggs was very flexible and family friendly, he took time to speak. Throughout each level i.e., Pre-trial Hearing, Motions Hearing, he was very confi...dent and displayed excellent knowledge of the law. Provide him what he needs so he can work for you. He's no TV lawyer, he deals with the facts and ensures others around him understand that. Dont think for a minute he's gonna babysit you, he will provide you what you need. My son was found not guilty to the charges that were before him. What a relief to him and our entire family. The jail time he was facing was real. The whole experience has taught me to never walk into a court room without experienced representation. Thank you Attorney Suggs for being the man you are! Kay W.

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.”
