Biography
Top Rated Car Accident and Personal Injury Legal Representation. Please read my client reviews. Free Consultations.
I represent clients throughout Georgia, focused in the metro Atlanta area
I have lived in the metro Atlanta area for over 25 years. I attended Emory University's Goizueta Business School for my undergraduate degree and later received my MBA and Law degrees from Georgia State University.
Prior to my legal career I worked in the insurance industry beginning in 2003. My education and work background give me a unique understanding of a wide variety of issues that may come up in both civil and criminal cases.
CIVIL (PLAINTIFF)
If you have been injured in any way that caused you physical and/or financial damage due to someone else's negligence, I can help you collect the maximum compensation you are entitled to, help you receive excellent medical care, and fight for your interests. I offer contingency percentages lower than the industry average and only get paid when you get paid. I represent clients for wrongful death, car accidents, slip/fall cases, and any other dispute or injury in which you feel you have been wronged. My business and insurance background are helpful when negotiating settlements with insurance companies and dealing with claims adjusters.
CRIMINAL DEFENSE
I learned how the prosecution prepares for criminal cases while at a metro Atlanta District Attorney's Office. While representing clients as a criminal defense attorney, I use my experience as a prosecutor to help identify and examine strengths and weaknesses in each case in order to get the best possible outcome for all of my clients. I am currently accepting clients accused of:
- all types of traffic tickets and city ordinance violations
- probation violation
- all misdemeanors
- almost all felonies (I do not represent Murder or Rape charges)
WHY CHOOSE ME AS YOUR ATTORNEY
- Effective: I am a persuasive advocate for your interests when dealing with a prosecutor, insurance adjuster, opposition counsel, the judge and/or jury to get the best available outcome given the facts of your case. Please read my reviews for support of these statements.
- Affordable: I know that cost is often a factor in choosing legal representation. I charge an affordable flat fee for criminal defense cases and collect a below average contingency percentage for civil Plaintiff's cases. Regardless if you are facing a criminal or civil dispute, I want to help keep more money in your pocket without compromising the quality of the legal represenation that I provide.
- Informative: Prior, during, and after your court date(s) I will keep you informed about the status of your case and various possible outcomes. I prepare my clients for worst case to best case scenarios so that there are no surprises in the courtroom. I strive to keep all my clients informed throughout the legal process and realize that customer service and keeping clients informed are important parts of my role as your attorney. I urge all prospective clients to read my reviews.

First of all, I can’t thank him enough for his legal help and support. Attorney Joel went extra miles to help me out while I had a lawsuit against me.
