In Georgia, you may not have to prove a dog was "vicious" to win a dog bite case.
If an owner ignored a local leash law and the dog bit you, that can be negligence per se.
Attorney Tom Giannotti explains.

We made attorney Graham Roberts pick a side: standing desk, headphones, or a second monitor.
Standing desk: dismissed
Headphones: advocated.
Second monitor: affirmed. Once you go past one screen, you never go back.
What is your desk hill to die on?

They call GA-400 the "Alpharetta Autobahn" for a reason. Everybody speeds, and turn signals are apparently optional.
Leave a few car lengths up front. Cheapest insurance you will ever buy.
Hit on 400 and it was not your fault?

A 5-star review from Chiquita T.:
"Sarah was very kind and respectful... the firm wasn't able to take my mother's case but referred us to another attorney to assist us. I'd definitely call Butler Kahn in the future."
Thanks, Chiquita.

Jeb Butler on co-counsel work:
"We can often turn what looks like a pretty good case into a really good case to the benefit of everybody."
Significant cases. Significant complexity. Shared fees.

Opening statement: fine. Cross-examination: stir the pot. Closing: where the case gets won.

A quick call can change the whole direction of a claim.
Sheronda reached out about an accident, and Sarah took the time to walk her through how to respond to the adjuster. She and her husband are happy with how it turned out.
Thank you, Sheronda. We appreciate you trusting us.
Jeb Butler's worst advice? "Be patient." Patience is the enemy of a trial lawyer. Always push forward.
