A Legacy of Justice in Macon

Injury Lawyer Macon was founded in 1995 by James T. Patterson with a simple mission: provide exceptional legal representation to injury victims who are often outmatched by large insurance companies and corporations.

What started as a two-person practice has grown into one of Middle Georgia's most respected injury law firms. But we've never lost sight of our roots. Every client — whether it's a simple consultation or a complex trial — gets the same level of personal attention, strategic thinking, and relentless advocacy.

We've recovered over $50 million for our clients and have earned a reputation for taking on difficult cases that other firms won't touch. Our attorneys are frequent speakers at legal education seminars and have been recognized as Georgia Super Lawyers and Rising Stars.
