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.

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.

"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

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.

Fantastic Lawyer

There are a lot of attorneys out there and it can get confusing trying to find one who will represent you well. Attorney Suggs did an exceptional job with my case. I was charged with a crime that I could have easily spent time behind prison cells. He was well prepared and his passion for law and f...airness worked wonders on my behalf. I would highly recommend him for those who just don't know who to call. I was also surprised three weeks after my case was over, he called me just to see how I was doing. Now that was very admirable!!

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.”
