Saved me money with a short phone call

I had a specific question about a credit agency reporting something that I thought was inaccurate. Mr. Hurt explained how it worked. Saved me money in legal fees.

Strongly Recommend

My husband and I worked with Jimmy Hurt when we were the victims of fraud. He spent so much time with us, researching our case and procuring expert witnesses. Jimmy was easy to reach when we had any questions or concerns. I would strongly recommend Jimmy and his staff.

I've worked with him on class actions and individual cases. He has a deep understanding of both substantive and procedural rules. He's above all professional and ethical. He also deserves an award for his almost single handed dedication over many years to prevent legislative changes to Georgia's Debt Adjustment Act. You have a real champion if he accepts your case."

"I have known Jimmy for several years, have witnessed his work first-hand, and certainly endorse him as an excellent attorney. While he is well-versed in the art of litigation generally, he is known as one of the true experts in his field when it comes to consumer protection law - representing individuals against corporations looking to take advantage of "the little man." He has given me advice in my own practice and I would not hesitate to recommend him."

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.
