Personal injury and criminal defense
The firm describes its personal-injury practice as representation for people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence. If an injury connected to Norcross led you to seek help, organize the records already in your possession about the event and its effects. Keep your own account separate from a record supplied by another person or office.
For criminal defense, the firm describes representation for clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. Retain papers identifying your matter and the exact court or agency name printed on each one. Make your own timeline separately, with questions prompted by particular documents, notices or communications alongside it.
