2. After a collapse during construction of Philips Arena in Atlanta, the firm represented the widow of an ironworker who was killed. By working with experts who had been involved in large construction projects such as the Georgia Dome and Turner Field, the firm uncovered the reasons for the collapse and filed a detailed lawsuit against eleven of the participants in the Arena construction. The case settled after only one deposition on terms favorable to our client.

3. The firm won the highest verdict in a wrongful death case in Rockdale County, Georgia. We represented the family of a deceased repairman who was electrocuted while performing mechanical repairs for the City of Conyers Water Department. Our investigation proved that the City knew of electrical dangers inside the manhole vault where the plaintiff's decedent was performing his work, but failed either to repair them or to warn of the electrical dangers. The verdict of $4.735 million resulted in a settlement after trial.

4. Our firm represented an unsuspecting Wal-Mart customer who was struck in the head and neck by an extremely high stack of unrestrained merchandise and who was permanently injured. When Wal-Mart refused to provide information about the past incidents and injuries to other customers who had been injured by falling merchandise in Wal-Mart stores across the country, our lawyers convinced a federal judge to declare all of our allegations to be established as true. With Wal-Mart's liability for both compensatory damages and punitive damages established and with a trial about to occur that would have focused on the dangers of its merchandising practices, our firm resolved the case on confidential terms that left our clients "extremely pleased."

5. The firm represented the widow of a 32 year-old husband and father who was killed by a DUI driver in Paulding County, Georgia. Our investigation located evidence which disproved the defendants' contentions that the victim was also at fault and that the other driver's employer should not be liable. Consequently, the defendants' insurance company paid the entire $2 million policy limits to resolve this case. Each of the children now has a substantial college fund, and the family's financial situation is secure.

6. Our attorneys represented a young passenger in an automobile that collided with an illegally parked tractor-trailer on the side of an interstate highway. This young man sustained brain damage, and the firm sought damages to establish a life care plan. After a detailed accident reconstruction that showed the danger created by the tractor-trailer's location, a confidential settlement was reached.

7. Our attorneys represented a client alleging that a large health care provider had defrauded him and other patients and had inflated the cost of treatment by secretly paying kickbacks for referrals of patients. The firm brought a fraud and civil RICO action against the providers involved. A confidential settlement was reached before trial.

8. The firm won the largest known verdict in Georgia in a false imprisonment case. Our client had been detained and falsely accused on shoplifting at a Neiman Marcus store in Atlanta, Georgia. She was forced to go back inside the store against her will, was handcuffed, and was strip searched. Our attorneys convinced the jury that the defendant had no basis for suspecting our client, much less assaulting, strip searching, and traumatizing her. A federal jury awarded $965,000.

9. Our attorneys were retained to investigate a family's suspicions that an elderly relative was being taken advantage of by her attorney, accountant, and other "care givers." Working with a fraud examiner, we uncovered evidence of attempts to transfer more than $1 million in assets. In addition to recovering substantial damages, the firm obtained an injunction and the appointment of an emergency guardian to stop the transfers and to deprive the attorney, accountant, and others of their control of this elderly woman's affairs. The case is now awaiting trial to recover actual and punitive damages. The firm also tried and won a Will contest over a fraudulently prepared Will. (Because the elderly are often the targets of fraud, the firm has since developed a public education program on preventing fraud against the elderly. The firm presents this program to senior citizen groups without charge).

10. Our attorneys represented a teenager who was brain-damaged because of a single car accident in Gwinnett County, Georgia. The firm established that a paving contractor had improperly graded the shoulder of the road and created a dangerous "drop-off" condition that was a cause of these injuries. Through a confidential settlement, the child obtained an annuity for life to take care of the child's lifelong needs.

11. The firm represented a client who was assaulted by bouncers at a nightclub in Forsyth County, Georgia. Although the employees of the club claimed that they acted in self defense, the jury found that the bouncers' assault was intentional. The jury awarded the client $265,000.00.
