Personal Injury 40%

I handle car wrecks, product liability cases, premises liability cases, and trucking accidents. I specialize in any case where a person has been injured as a result of another person's negligence.

Trucking Accident 20%

Trucking litigation is a complicated field of personal injury litigation which requires an astute knowledge of the operation of interstate trucks, the laws that regulate their operation, and state specific insurance provisions relating to commercial vehicles. I handle these cases in State and Federal Courts in Georgia.

Wrongful Death 10%

I handle both the civil litigation of the fault of the tortfeasor and the subsequent probate issues which arise in a wrongful death case.

Quality Customer Service and a Lawyer You Can Trust

I never thought I’d have the need for a personal injury lawyer, but due to two weird and random car accidents that happened to me in a span of 16 months, the need arose and I chose Dozier Law Firm. Attorney David Dorer and his team were extremely caring and helpful from the very first phone call. As ...I received medical treatment, they assured me that my cases were being handled every step of the way. His paralegal, Mariah Cohen, was my main point of contact and she was awesome! She always provided excellent customer service, answered any questions I had at any time throughout the process, never steered me wrong and always respected my decisions. Even when I had a question just a couple of days before Christmas, David and his team got right back to me with the information I needed. For a not so fun time in my life, they made handling it all a great experience. If I ever need a personal injury lawyer again, I would without a doubt give them a call.

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.
