I have represented injured workers for over 30 years in cases before the Georgia State Board of Workers’ Compensation. The Georgia workers’ compensation system can be frustrating and slow. My role as your advocate is to maximize your medical benefits, obtain and protect your weekly wage benefits and to work towards a fair settlement of your claim.
I have learned a lot over the past 35 years about how the workers’ compensation laws in Georgia work. For the first five years of my career, I was employed by an insurance defense law firm that represented employers and their workers’ compensation insurance companies. During that time I spoke on a daily basis to company owners and insurance adjusters. Sometimes, the business owner or the insurance adjusters truly did want to treat injured workers fairly. But in many cases, the employers and insurance companies were most interested in saving money and using their control of medical treatment and lost wage benefits to cut off benefits or offer lowball settlements.
While I learned a great deal about how to litigate workers’ compensation claims during my time at the big firm, I was glad to switch sides in the mid-1990s and I have been representing injured workers ever since. I do think my time representing insurance companies has made me a much better lawyer representing injuried claimants. I have seen first hand the tactics and strategies that employers and insurance companies use to deny or lowball claims. I know the doctors they use to get bogus medical opinions and I can quickly spot situations when an insurance adjuster is using delay to squeeze my clients.
Insurance defense lawyers like to bluff and throw out questionable arguments hoping that a desperate lawyer will bite – needless to say I have been around way too long for that kind of nonsense. I bring my years of experience to my clients and I’d like to think that the results we have achieved reflect my knowledge and experience.
In this blog, I answer questions that I get from potential clients, comments from my YouTube channel. I also use the blog to alert you about changes in the law and strategies to improve your results.
When I am
not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two adult children, and especially with my granddaughter. My entire family plays tennis and in 2025 my daughter and I playe
d doubles on a team that won the ALTA Atlanta City Championship! I like to win, whether on the tennis court or in the workers’ compensation arena.
Workers’ compensation law is one of the most adversarial areas of law that exists. Every day I go into battle on behalf of my clients.
