In just five years, the firm has grown from one to eleven attorneys, earned a Pacesetters Award as one of Atlanta’s fastest-growing small businesses, and ranked among Atlanta Business Chronicle’s top four “Healthiest Employers” for three consecutive years. The firm is also Chambers-rated and a member of the Primerus Society, recognized as a network of leading law firms. Clients rate the firm 9.6/10, while the team rates its experience 9.3/10. The numbers speak for themselves, but the culture speaks louder.
