Practice Spotlight: Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce in Georgia can be a useful method to end a marriage. With a Georgia Uncontested Divorce, both husband and wife agree to the terms of their divorce. This may include splitting up assets of the marriage, splitting the debt incurred during the marriage, and may include child custody arrangements. A Georgia Uncontested Divorce will usually save you considerable money and unneeded stress than a contested divorce. Contact our office to set up an appointment.
Social Security Disability Law
Social Security Disability law is complex, and the final decisions can drag on. It is important to have representation during this important process. Numerous missteps and delays are possible for the unwary. In fact, the vast majority of initial applications are denied. But it does not stop there. The appeal deadline begins to run, and if you do not successfully complete your appeal documentation, then you must start completely over. This is only one reason why you should consult our firm for Social Security Disability Representation.
McDONOUGH AUTO ACCIDENTS
If you live or have been injured in Henry County, Butts County or any surrounding county, then you may need a Personal Injury Attorney. As your McDonough Personal Injury Lawyer or Butts County Personal Injury Lawyer, we will negotiate with the insurance adjusters and lawyers. In auto accident and injury cases, they want you to take a low amount. Some insurance companies, such as Allstate, use computers to determine how much you might take for you injuries.
As your Jackson Lawyer, we will help collect your medical bill and medical records. We review the medical records and bills for each injury noted in the records. We will review the accident report to see for liability, and make appropriate settlement demands to the insurance company. As your auto accident lawyer, we will help you collect money for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages, if available.
Griffin Attorney- Lost Wages
Any wages you can prove that you lost due to your personal injury case are recoverable. Once you have returned to work, we can send a letter to your employer with an authorization to release employment information and a salary and lost wage verification. This information will be valuable in supporting your lost wage claim.
McDonough Auto Accident Attorney – Police Report
The police report in a personal injury lawsuit contains vital information. For example, you were in an accident in Henry County, for example, the report indicates the name, address, phone number, and insurance company for the at-fault driver. As your attorney, I must have this information to proceed with a direct action against the other driver. If the other driver is unknown, then we can help bring help utilize the uninsured motorist coverage in your own insurance policy.
The police report also contains a list of the occupants and witnesses, information of injuries, statements made by witnesses and drivers, and any citations given to the at-fault drive such as DUI or reckless driving.
Car Accident Attorney – Witnesses
Witnesses are believable. They were not in the accident. They have nothing to gain. Of course, these are generalizations, but the fact still stands. If you know of an eye-witness regardless of where they live, McDonough, Stockbridge, Griffin, Conyers, or anywhere, this can be invaluable to your attorney. In some cases, the eye-witness is the difference between a great settlement and disputed liability and a lower settlement. As your Jackson Personal Injury Lawyer, I strongly encourage you to disclose anyone who may have seen or heard your accident.
Car Accident Attorney – Client Diary
One of the best witness in your personal injury suit is you. But you, like everyone, can forget the little details of life. A diary solves this problem and more. When you write down each time your life changed because of the injury, or every time you suffered pain or worry, you are helping your case. If brushing your hair or taking a shower caused pain, jot it down. Insurance companies and jurors in an auto accident case can understand these examples. Further, as your McDonough Personal Injury Lawyer, I can use this to better explain your full pain and suffering. When you put dates with these notations, you are creating a timeline that helps explain the duration and depth of your pain.
