Wonderful Law Firm

My name is Patrick, and I was heading home from work on the night of July 9, 2021, when life as I knew it turned up-side down. I was second in line at a stop light and proceeded to pull into the intersection when I was T-boned by an under-aged, intoxicated driver. As I looked to the left, all I saw... where bright lights. I was taken to the hospital via ambulance, only to finally lay in the emergency room of a trauma hospital due to the extent of my injuries. My neck was broken, I was experiencing an internal bleed within my chest cavity, and I had 3 broken ribs, as well as, multiple large contusions covering my body, specifically my left hip and right knee. These injuries kept me out of work and required around the clock assistance just to perform the simplest but necessary daily tasks. My wife’s co-worker reached out to us with recommendations for Hasty Pope based on testimonials from others in the community who also utilized their expertise. From the first call, Jon and his team were exemplary in their service to me and were also extremely professional. Sue was my primary contact, and she always made sure everything was explained clearly and provided a seamless transition from start to finish. Prayerfully, no one in my circle will ever encounter a situation that necessitates the type of legal assistance I needed. However, if anyone does, Hasty Pope most definitely will be the recommendation I provide.

HANDS DOWN THE MOST INCREDIBLE ATTORNEY OUT THERE

I was in a terrible auto accident.. After enduring a horrible year with an attorney that never returned phone calls, I only spoke with his assistant when she decided to return calls, never had updates, file was a mess.. However, I then found Jonathan Pope.. Even though I came to them with a huge pil...e of papers in a mess, they took my case and diligently worked hard from day one until we finally got the case settled.. Jon and Amanda always called, emailed and communicated every little thing that was going on with your case.. I never felt as if I couldn't call them or email them and have a conversation about anything when I needed to.. Even if I felt as if I was overwhelmed in pain and miserable I could call them and was always made to feel better when we were finished talking..I knew I could focus on my health and getting better and that I was in the best hands available and my best interest was always their top #1 priority at all times..I knew they were treating me with dignity and respect and care just as if I were a family member of Jons... This is such a tumultuous time that you never know how you are going to act or feel until you are in the depths of the hell that car accidents can cause you and your family.. Not only financially but mentally and physically as well so to know that you have one less thing on your plate that you don't have to deal with and that you have by far the best representation behind you every step of the way is one of the BEST things you can do for not only yourself but everyone around you in these situations.. Jonathan treats you as if you are his only client, never a bother, returns your calls quickly and is there for you to discuss things step by step that are foreign to most people out there.. Unless you find yourself in the position of a auto accident you don't realize to what extent it affects your entire life so knowing you have the BEST ATTORNEY out there behind you to fight for you and your care is by far the biggest relief you can get at this horrible time in your life.. I know I couldn't have made it through if not for Jon and Amanda.. If He could practice outside of Georgia I would recommend him as the top attorney in the US... Ethical, honest, caring, and yet if trial is needed you will see you have an attorney VERY WELL versed and ready to go that route if all other means are exhausted he will most definatly go into the court room with the most confidence , knowing he has done everything in his power to prepare you for that day.. If I could put my phone number on here I would so I could talk to anyone out there that finds themselves in this position.. But trust me hiring Jonathon Pope will be and was for me the BEST decision I ever made for myself.. He made probably the worst time of my life bearable because I truly did not have to worry that my health issues were being treated as his top priority and never ever did I ever come close to feeling like "" just another client"".... And trust me, I had something to compare him to.. I made the mistake of hiring some one else first.. It was a horrible experience that was made into an incredible turn around by finding the right attorney.., it will change your life.. Auto accidents will change your life so why not have the BEST representation behind you so you can focus on getting better and not have to worry about what's happening with the attorneys and court and all of the legal part that most of us know nothing about..,

Great Lawyer!

My experience with Jonathan Pope has been wonderful. He has been very honest with me in terms of all legal actions that have taken place. He has also done a very good job on my case and I feel as if no other attorney could do as well as him. I recommend Jon to anyone.

Awesome Lawyer

I was injured in a severe car wreck almost two years ago. I was referred to Jonathan Pope by a friend and I am very happy my wife and I chose him to help us through this difficult time in our life. I never felt like a small client here. I was treated respectfully and compassionately. Jon and his team... were proficient, hardworking on my case, caring to know how I felt during the time before and after my car accident. This firm is very dedicated to its clients and I would highly recommend anyone in the situation I was in to talk to them.
