Professional and Efficient Service

Alan Cleveland's firm was extremely helpful throughout my case and was always available to answer any of my questions/concerns. I highly recommend his firm to someone searching for a personal injury attorney!

Professional and Effective

Mr. Cleveland was great. He was very attentive and responsive to all of my questions and the details of my case. I was in an auto accident with multiple other vehicles. My car was totalled and I sustained a ruptured spleen. Mr. Cleveland worked with the person at fault's insurance company as well... as mine to reach a fair and adequate settlement. Mr. Cleveland's assistant was also excellent. Both of them walked me through and fully explained the process, keeping me well-informed all along the way.

Best decision ever

Mr Cleveland made what was a nightmare experience into the best happy ending. Straight shooter with the interests of the client being top priority. With one meeting, I knew I had the best trial lawyer in Georgia. And i never even got to a trial. His staff was just as attentive to me needs. I was alw...ays in constant communication with his office and always received a call back within 24 hours. If not the same day. They never made me feel like I was too needy. Always eager to make ME understand what was going on. In fact, they called me more then I call them for updates. He never promised me anything that was unattainable. His interest and care was genuine. I have no regrets in my decision. I highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
