Best of the best

Ralph was great for us. Will definitely use him again if we ever need anything. Great communication with him and his staff. Ralph is the type of lawyer that doesn't back down and will fight for what's right.

Absolutely the best!

After 2 consultations with other attorneys, and a high level of disappointment, Scoccimaro Law Group was a breath of fresh air. This team is amazing, and Ralph is especially skilled at what he does. We came to this office with a personal injury after an auto accident. They went to work for us immedia...tely! I don't know where we would be without them, and I highly recommend Ralph to anyone who needs an amazing personal injury attorney!

He's the best!

I was very happy with Ralph Scoccimaro as my attorney. He cared about my case and didn't settle with the first offer. I believe I got the best possible settlement I could have and I would recommend him to family, friends and anyone in the state of Georgia.

A True Hero

There are 3 blessings that I thank God for almost daily: 1. My Family, 2. My Freedom and 3. Ralph Scoccimaro. It is because of Ralph’s tireless hard work and personal devotion to his profession that I am able to enjoy my family and freedom on a daily basis. He is truly my hero. I was wrongfully pr...osecuted for abusing my then 3-year-old daughter. During the investigation, it was discovered that she was actually abused by her stepmother. Yet, I was still charged. Ralph fought diligently for me for a full year before we finally made it to trial. Mind you, he not only was helping me with the criminal portion, but he also represented me in the custody battle, as well. Because of him, I was awarded custody back of my daughter more than 30 days before my case was heard in court. I was acquitted of all criminal charges, as well. After all was said and done on the criminal charges and custody, he then helped me win a civil law suit against my persecutors. Because of everything that Ralph and his whole team did for me, I have had the blessing of being able to watch my toddler grow into a beautiful and productive adult. She was able to live her childhood in a safe environment where she was loved and happy. She is who she is today because of hours upon hours of work this man put forth for her all those years ago.

Ralph Scoccimaro goes above and beyond the call of duty

When the newspaper where I was employed and I were frivolously sued for libel, Mr. Scoccimaro worked tirelessly to defend both myself and my employer against a $10,000,000.00 lawsuit. Mr. Scoccimaro proved the events reported in the news article were in fact, not libelous at all, and that one of ...the persons mentioned in the article was indeed a public figure and had appeared on local news stations numerous times as an official representative of the city. During this time, I was extremely grateful that he was on our side in this matter. After seeing him in action, I remember thinking, "Thank goodness he's with us and not against us." The case was dismissed. Mr. Scoccimaro not only defended us, but defended the First Amendment in the process. My publisher selected Mr. Scoccimaro as a defense attorney in this matter because we knew his reputation as a fierce advocate would be our best chance at dismissal of the lawsuit. We knew of his solid belief in the First Amendment and our right to free speech. We reported on many of the cases in which he defended his clients, both civil and criminal, and so we also knew how tough he could be. Since that time, Mr. Scoccimaro has been appointed to serve as Associate Judge for the Municipal Court of Albany, Georgia. While he no longer defends criminal cases, he still represents his clients with the same amount of enthusiasm - as if their very lives depend upon it. A lot of lawyers say, "We represent the little guy." Ralph Scoccimaro doesn't just represent the little guy, he FIGHTS for the little guy.
