Areas
Served
Eight cities across four counties in the south metro. Each one has its own courts, its own roads and its own reasons a case goes the way it does. The firm takes cases anywhere in Georgia; these are the places it knows best.
- 01
Jonesboro
Clayton CountyThe county seat. Clayton’s Superior, State and Magistrate Courts are all inside the city limits.
- 02
Riverdale
Clayton CountyNo interstate through it. SR 85 and SR 138 carry the traffic through town, and Upper Riverdale Road carries it to the hospital.

Two rules that apply everywhere
Which county hears it usually follows the defendant
The Georgia Constitution (Art. VI, Sec. II, Para. VI) provides that civil cases shall be tried in the county where the defendant resides — the default whenever that defendant lives in Georgia, and not necessarily the county you were hurt in. Where several at-fault parties live in different counties, O.C.G.A. § 9-10-31(b) allows the case to be brought in any county where one of them resides. Out-of-state drivers and motor carriers are the exceptions: each has a venue statute of its own, and either can put the case in the county where the crash happened. A wreck in one city is regularly a case in another county, and which one is a question answered at the start.
Two years, in every one of these cities
Georgia allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury suit, and four years for a spouse's loss of consortium claim (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33). The deadline does not change with the county, the court or the kind of road you were on. It is the one thing on this page that is the same in all eight cities.
Georgia law changes. Statutes are amended and courts reinterpret them, so anything stated as law on this page — including any statute cited — may already be out of date. Check the current law, and how it applies to your own facts, before you rely on it.
