Personal injury: representation after serious injury
The firm describes its personal-injury practice as representing people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence. This is the practice to discuss when an injury matter fits that description.
Gather documents and correspondence related to the incident, and keep the issuing agency or office identified with each item. A brief, organized account can help the first conversation focus on the general nature of the matter.

Criminal defense: serious felony charges
The firm describes its criminal-defense practice as representation for clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. That focus is distinct from the firm’s injury practice.
Keep charge-related documents separate from injury-related materials. Note the issuing agency or office for each document rather than grouping records solely by where the incident occurred.

Organize incident documents by issuing office
For either kind of matter, make a simple list of the documents you have and record the issuing agency or office beside each item. Keep the identified office name with the document so the source remains clear when you discuss the matter.
The firm describes the first conversation as a way to understand the general nature of a matter and identify appropriate next steps. Bring your questions and organized information to that discussion.
