HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

If you are looking for an injury attorney, Blaine is exactly who you looking for. Blaine fought hard for my case... With all the attorneys I contacted he is the only one who accepted my case without hesitation. He believed we had a case from the beginning and never gave up. Blaine would answer hi...s phone at any time of day or as soon as he possibly can and will never leave you waiting for a phone call or text. Thank you Blaine and your team for always being there and not giving up on my case. We knew from the beginning that it may take some time to fight my case and may even go as far as a jury trial. I will surely seek your advise whenever I need one and will highly recommend you to all my friends and family.

The best lawyer in Athens!

I retained Blaine's services to handle a personal injury case for me. He was very attentive to my case and treats his clients with real concern for not only the case at hand but for you as a person. He was always available when I called and his staff was great to work with throughout the case. I h...ighly reccommend Blaine Norris.

Bike accident help

I was injured in a bike accident in 2014 and ended up needing an attorney to help recuperate medical costs plus funds from the insurance companies. Blaine and his company came to the rescue in a short amount of time and began navigating the lengthy process. Although my injury was not paralyzing, it d...id alter my active lifestyle and he was quick to pick up on that and point it out to the insurance companies. My own insurance company was very reluctant to cooperate, but Blaine patiently negotiated back and forth with them until we both ended up finding a happy settlement. He and his company are not just a bunch of lawyers eager for blood money, they take time and energy to get to know the client and help as much as possible to ensure their lives resume to normal as best as possible. Fully recommend.

Best Review

Handled multiple cases that varied in scope a great deal. Has a sense of honor and duty that comes through with sincerity. The cases were pursued with vigor. When it's time to deal with reality, the issue of continuing, settling, or fighting on, we did so with a straight forward approach of the o...ptions and risks. It was always my call on the decision to go on or settle. I usually took the advise that I was given as it was based on facts not emotion. I'll call him again when the time comes.

Smart & Scrappy

Blaine Norris is just a smart scrappy lawyer and has been very effective in handling several litigations on my behalf. I'm not a large law group kind of guy, nor do I want to pay someone to be on the 99th floor of some fancy office. They all tie their shoes the same and most graduated from the sam...e Law schools. I like the personal attention I get from Blaine and his staff.

"There are few lawyers who have the knack to quickly identify the legal issues involved in a case and then spend the necessary time to fully investigate and litigate those issues. Having known Blaine for over 16 years, I can unequivocally state that Blaine is one of those lawyers. He is a tenacious litigator and a tremendous advocate for his clients. I, without hesitation, highly recommend Blaine to any person who is in need of an experienced, effective trial lawyer."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Blaine is the litigator's litigator. Quick wit, brilliant style, careful and pointed analysis - both in and out of the courtroom. He has assisted numerous of my clients with complex litigation or threatened litigation on all sorts of business matters, and every time he does so masterfully. I confidently give him the highest recommendation. His insights and skills are superlative. Once, I watched him cross-examine for four hours the president of a company that had sued my client. Blaine's savvy understanding of the facts and the issues at play resulted in the witness contradicting his own writing as it was displayed in front of the entire courtroom. We won that case. I had a client tell me once that they wanted to hire Blaine, immediately, just to keep him on their good side. Absolutely highest recommendation."
