Medical Malpractice 50%

If you or a loved one has been injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider, you must seek legal representation as soon as possible. You have two years from the date of injury or when you discovered you were injured to file a claim. In Georgia, you must have an affidavit from a medical expert to file a claim for medical malpractice.

15 years

50%
Personal Injury 50%

If you have been injured by another party, it is important to seek compensation sooner rather than later. The time to file a claim begins the moment you become aware of the injury. Laying out your claim in detail and backed by professional opinions and expert witnesses will help increase your chances of receiving the maximum amount for your damages.

The best Attorney Ever

Curtis Chronister handled my chapter 7 and it was wonderful and stress free for me. His office is so efficient and you don't feel like you have no idea whats going on with your case. He makes sure that you are well informed and explains everything in detail. I can't thank him and his office staff ...enough for. Ashley is equally as wonderful

Posted by Kelly | November 21, 2012 | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

The best!

We used Curtis for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. From the minute I called with questions, he took his time explaining our options over the phone without even coming in. He spent at least 45 minutes on the phone with me with no charge and then met with my husband and me for a good hour in the office with ...no charge. So the 1 hour FREE consultation definitely holds true. It's an embarrassing situation to be in to admit that you’re in such a financial hardship that you can't pay your bills and stay afloat with the everyday expenses. He never once made us feel bad or ashamed or looked down upon. He said his job was to help us and our family get relief from this tremendous burden and that he did. His wife Ashley is the administrator and was always helpful, friendly and courteous. In the midst of our bankruptcy we were still struggling to get back on top of things and were all of the sudden looking at foreclosure because we had become officially 2 months behind on our mortgage. They responded to the situation immediately with concern, caring and assurance that they would do everything they could to help us keep our house. Never once did they say "well you'll have to come with X amount of money before we'll even consider this". And in the end we did keep our house! From the beginning they always made us feel that they were truly there to help us and the money was not of concern. Of course they expect to be paid for their services as anyone else but I have spoken to many attorneys before speaking with them and the first thing out of their mouth was how much we would need to come up with for them to handle our case. Obviously if you're in a position of having to file bankruptcy you don't have hundreds, much less thousands of dollars just laying around! I can't say enough about how grateful we are for their help and even after it was all over they said to call them if we ever need them in the future. You won't find anyone better!

CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH!

Curtis took my personal injury case and treated my case like I was a family member. He always called me back when I had questions, kept me updated on the status of my case, and fought hard for great results! He and his wife are an amazing duo and know how to get the job done! I would recommend the...m to any of my friends or family!

Excellent Attorney

We used Attorney Curtis Chronister to help us gain custody of our grandkids and he was so professional and timely in everything that he did. We were well satisfied and would HIGHLY recommend anyone seeking an attorney that listens and not only considers money a factor in each case to please contact ...Curtis Chronister.

Child Custody

Mr. Chronister assisted in Child Custody of my Granddaughter. He was professional and informative throughout the process. Before the Judge Mr. Chronister was very knowledable about the case and it was resolved without any issues. I will use Mr. Chronister for future matters, and recommend him to o...thers.
