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.

"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.

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.

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.”
