My family and I have used Tim's services for many years. MVA are such a traumatic experience, but Tim is truly the calm within the storm. The work that he does shows that he really cares. He puts you in contact with the best medical care and ensures that you are made whole again. He is kind, compassionate, professional and thorough. He always works tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome on my behalf and I can't thank him enough. I am so glad my mother found him all those years ago.

I was referred by a friend to use Tim when my son was in a MVA . That was several years ago. I have used him several Tim in the past. My most recent MVA he handled my bodily injury claim. We had a few difficult issues with medical liens, bill reductions etc. but he worked them out. I would recommend him to family and friends. He is a great lawyer and very patient. All my experience has been great.

Initially in 2015 Mr. Storm became my father-in-law’s attorney after a bad accident on 285 and this began the relationship between my family and the Storm Law Firm. My husband was next on the list and was hit from behind twice, I was next with some accidents and then my sister with and almost life threatening accident. With every single Mr. Storm has been amazing even working on our different family members cases at the same time. His knowledge of the GA Law is impeccable and his stern professionalism is superb. Mr. Storm is a straight to the point attorney he knows how the companies work and how to handle them. My family has entrusted all of our accidents to him over a 6 year time frame and counting! Mr. Storm is better than any big wig attorney you hear on the radio or see on the TV. He truly takes pride in his work and what he can do for you as a client and not what you can put in his pocket. Let The Storm Law firm handle your case today!

Due to a personal injury, a friend recommended the law firm of Apolinsky & Associates, LLC. His recommendation was so positive that I contacted Mr. Apolinsky right away. After several phone conversations, I was sure that I had the right firm to handle my case. Steve Apolinsky was a true professional in every way. He briefed us on what to possibly expect, and it was 'spot-on.’ We couldn't have asked for any better treatment. I hope I never have to endure a situation like this again, but , if I do, my first call will be to Apolinsky & Associates, LLC.

I became an actual client of Stephen Appolinsky by means of another attorney who sought out someone with expertise in wrongful death cases. I am so grateful to my first great attorney for referring me to another great attorney at the most difficult time of my life. My 19 year old vivacious firstborn daughter took her own life just hours after being released from the hospital. She had been taken to the hospital by ambulance after the police were called on her for attempting to harm herself. After being evaluated, the hospital released my daughter after several hours.
My lawyer, Steve, agreed that there was a measure of negligence and diligently addressed all of my concerns. He personally flew out to Michigan and met with me and many of my family and friends to collect interviews to help strengthen my case. Personal touches such as these coupled with his kind but professional demeanor made me feel as though being his client was a huge blessing.
I feel as though I cannot begin to express how happy and satisfied I truly am. As an out-of-state client, Steve kept me abreast and included on all pertinent matters concerning my case. He always considered my feelings and empathized with my fragile emotional state. Steve is an awesome human being which is largely why he is an excellent attorney.
My lawyer effectively convinced our opposing party to offer a settlement to me. I believe that this is solely due to Steve's professional reputation and expertise. Steve is an honest, fair, and thorough attorney. I would recommend him in a heartbeat without any reserve. Hands down he is the best attorney.

I went to Apolinsky and associates not even knowing if I had a case when my daughter was murdered at an apartment complex. Steve and his entire staff showed me such caring and support throughout the process. They made our family feel like they were their family. I highly recommend if you are ever in need of a wrongful death case that you come here as they are very considerate of your feelings and got us a settlement that was more than expected.

Joseph Weeks and his firm have shown a high level of professionalism in dealing with my case. When I call his firm I talk directly with a live person, and not an automated attendant asking me to press numbers to speak to someone. I have on several occasions stopped by his office just to drop off requested documents and he has taken time to talk to me and let me know what the latest is with my case. Everyone at his office that I have worked with or spoken to has always been friendly and willing to answer any questions I may have.
From the onset of my case, Joseph has been upfront about what to expect and what actions the other party can take. He has guided me through the litigation process and kept me informed of what is going on. Joseph is confident and knowledgeable in preparing documents and dealing with the other party. I will receive a copy of motions, responses and other documents within a few days of receiving them or filing them with the court. He has set a high standard in what to expect when working with an attorney.

We would personally like to thank Attorney Myrlin Earle for his commitment, integrity, and dedication to our case. On April 28, 2016 our lives changed forever. My husband was hit by a tractor trailer in Atlanta, Georgia.
Initially we consulted with a well known prestigious firm in the City. After several months of discovery the firm decided to withdraw as Counsel because they did not see the value in our case.
We immediately begin the search for a new firm to represent our case. After our first official meeting with Attorney Earle we knew he would be our Attorney. He saw the value in our case and he was able to get us a comfortable settlement.
Going through this process could be very overwhelming but with Attorney Earle he made sure we understood the process and he was there with us every step of the way.
If you are looking for an Attorney who will be fully committed to you and your case then you have found the right person, Attorney Myrlin Earle.

Myrlin was invaluable in helping me through a difficult time. After my cycling accident, caused by an uncovered man-made hole on a city road, I suffered a serious shoulder injury. Because of the accident, I needed shoulder surgery. To my amazement, the city did not take responsibility for the uncovered man-made hole in the road. In fact, they just ignored my situation and that’s when Mrylin helped in a big way. Mrylin walked me through the process and made it easy. On the rare occasion when I needed to speak with him after hours, he never made me feel that I was imposing on his personal time. He answered my questions, no matter how trivial and took the time to continually update me on where we stood with the city. Myrlin insight on how the process worked was invaluable. He kept my patience in check and in the end, we won our case.
Mr. Earle was responsive, and I really felt that he had my best interests at heart.

Lawyer Tunde Akinyele is a very thorough professional. A friend referred him to me. My initial consultation with him was quite pleasant as he listened attentively to my issue and then he asked all pertinent questions. He then explained the steps we would take patiently and the expected outcome we were striving for. He truly knows his onions. He responded to calls in a timely manner and kept me updated every step of the way. He arrived promptly for every scheduled appointment and came prepared. He worked diligently to get the desired result plus more. If you really need a Lawyer on your side to fight for you relentlessly, Lawyer Akinyele is your guy. He will not disappoint. I’m thankful to God that I crossed paths with him. Thank you and God bless you for a job well done.

I had a paid consultation which was very disappointing. I have no issue with the attorney saying I don't have a claim as that's his job. Where I take issue is being asked for supporting documentation and none of it being reviewed ahead of the call. I was then rushed through a complicated situation that displays long-term harassment and told there was nothing that could be done. I felt like I paid $415 and put together hours of documentation for nothing. It was disheartening to say the least.

I have known Rob since 1987 when we worked in sales together at AT&T. Rob was a very successful account executive. I think the key to Rob's success was his ability to listen closely, advocate for his clients, and do whatever it took to achieve the desired results.
After working at AT&T, Rob paid his own way through law school to become an attorney. We have kept in touch over the years, and I have reached out to him many times for guidance.
When I needed a quality attorney, the first person I thought of was Rob Fleming. Rob's firm was retained, and he took the time to research every aspect of our case. This attention to detail, experience, and "street smarts" resulted in a positive outcome.
If anyone is looking for not just a fine attorney but a quality person, they should consider Rob Fleming.

An attorney friend recommended Roger Krause - calling him “the smartest man I know.”
My family quickly found that he was right. Besides being EXTREMELY clever-I found Mr. Krause (and his staff) to be fair, honest and VERY responsive.
This is the office you want on your side in any dispute. They will not forget about you and will work diligently to get things done.

Before I met this law firm, I was suspicious of the law field; therefore I was hesitant to go forward with my suit. A lawyer friend highly recommended this firm. The first time I met them I knew my friend had guided me in the right direction. My fear was unfounded and I was extremely pleased with the professionalism I experienced. They were compassionate, thoughtful and learned in their area of law. Their distinguished reputation among their peers was priceless and brought the suit to an acceptable conclusion. I felt they understood and would do all in their power according to the law to help me recover my losses. Above all I trusted them through the whole process. They were straight forward, if I did not understand their recommendations; they stayed with me until I fully understood. My experience from the start to finish of my settlement was of a firm that was patient and caring of my needs.

Mr. Rivers accomplished exactly what I had hoped by building up a strong case for me in an ongoing dispute. I am more than pleased with the outcome - a huge stressor that distracted my thoughts daily, finally relieved. And (finally) a fair ruling and settlement in it's place. Mr. Rivers organized the case I'd been trying to make for myself, and my pile of documentation, to clearly and succinctly demonstrate cause and what was rightly due.
Of course I prefer not to 'need' lawyers; they're usually sought out after a stressful situation -- however my dispute could have ended up being a semi-permanent headache if it weren't for Deandre's confident expertise of the law.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.

How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
