Malpractice lawsuit

I hired Mr. Lanier to guide us through my injury from a routine procedure. He took my case and was upfront, honest and communicated promptly with updates regarding my case. Mr Lanier was very knowledgeable, respectful and understanding concerning my injuries due to the sensitivity of the matter. He s...et realistic expectations and I would recommend him.

Very grateful

I talked to 2 lawyers before I was referred to Mr Lanier & he was the only one kind enough to tell me he was sorry for my loss and who actually wanted to hear the details of the situation. I am so thankful that he sincerely wanted to look into the Estate instead of writing it off as a waste of time b...ecause we ended up negotiating a very good settlement at the end. I feel really blessed & down right lucky to have found Mr Lanier - everyone at his office is equally kind & sympathetic. Thank you again & I highly recommend Lanier Law.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Friendly, professional and just plain outstanding.

My wife and I were in a terrible car accident near Thomson, GA. The accident was not our fault, the other driver made a left turn into our path. Both of us did receive injuries, that have required several surgeries, with very high medical bills. Neither my wife or myself been able to return to wor...k because of these injuries. The other driver was insured by Geico. We hired Troy Lanier as our personal injury representative. Our experience with him was exceptional. He was patient with both of us and always returned any calls and answered our concerns. He guided us through the entire process with understanding, encouragement and complete professionalism. He always found the means to solve even the most difficult issues that came up in my case and concluded with an extremely positive outcome. We highly recommend him and his expertise, without reservation, to anyone in search of a truly outstanding attorney and person. Troy Lanier and his team are some of the most competent professionals I've had the privilege to ever meet and work with. Troy will not only be remembered as an exceptional attorney, but as someone we now consider to be our friend. We are truly thankful for all that his law offices have done.
