How We Help LaGrange and Troup County Residents
LaGrange GA Personal Injury Lawyer
I-85 through LaGrange and Troup County is one of the primary arteries connecting Atlanta to Alabama, carrying a steady and heavy volume of commercial trucks, commuter traffic, and through-traffic every day. The plant access roads, US-29, and the county routes connecting LaGrange to West Point and the supplier network generate additional daily traffic from the manufacturing workforce. Accidents on these corridors are a consistent concern for LaGrange residents and workers.
We handle personal injury cases involving car and truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, slip and fall and premises liability claims, and wrongful death. Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence standard, meaning you can recover damages as long as you are found to be less than 50 percent at fault for an accident, though any percentage of fault assigned to you directly reduces what you can recover. Having an attorney involved early, before statements are given and before the other side builds its version of events, matters significantly in any injury claim.
Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.

LaGrange GA DUI Defense Attorney
A DUI arrest in Troup County is processed under Georgia law and carries serious consequences. A first offense can result in a license suspension of up to one year, fines, mandatory community service, and possible jail time. A second or subsequent offense carries heavier penalties and longer suspension periods.
Under Georgia’s implied consent law, you have only 30 days from the date of your arrest to request an administrative license suspension hearing. That deadline runs independently of your criminal case and cannot be extended. Missing it can cost you your driving privileges before your case is resolved in court. Our managing attorney spent years as a Forensic Toxicologist with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab before founding this firm. We examine every aspect of a DUI case, from the basis for the stop to how field sobriety tests were administered to how breath or blood test results were collected and handled. If you were arrested for DUI anywhere in LaGrange or Troup County, call us the same day.

Troup County’s growing and aging population, with approximately 11,800 residents aged 65 and older as of 2024, means estate administration and planning needs are substantial throughout the county. We assist LaGrange and Troup County families with every stage of the Georgia probate process, including estates with real property, business interests, outstanding debts, and beneficiary disputes.
