Work approach and client relationship

The firm maintains that choosing a lawyer depends not only on experience but also on trust and dedication. According to its presentation, the team listens to the client, analyzes their situation, and designs a strategy aimed at the best possible outcome, combining a close relationship with firm advocacy. Jones & Swanson states that it does not treat its clients as a case number and that it works to ensure they feel informed and supported throughout the legal process.

Dealing with insurance companies

The firm warns that insurance companies often use tactics to reduce their payouts, such as questioning the severity of injuries, delaying or denying valid claims, or pressuring for quick settlements that undervalue the actual harm. Jones & Swanson states that it is familiar with these practices and that its involvement seeks to level the playing field against them.

It also points out the challenges faced by a claimant without legal representation: proving liability and injuries with evidence such as photos, videos, testimony, expert reports, and official documents; managing complex procedures and deadlines; and calculating all present and future damages, including those arising from ongoing medical needs, loss of earning capacity, home modifications, and reduced quality of life.

Compensation the firm seeks

Jones & Swanson states that its mission is to seek maximum compensation to cover past and future medical expenses, lost wages and loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent disability or disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, and, in certain circumstances, punitive damages. The firm states that it evaluates both the immediate and long-term effects of injuries.

Fee structure

The firm works on a contingency fee basis: it charges no upfront fees or hourly rates and only receives a percentage of the final settlement or verdict if it succeeds in recovering compensation for the client. According to its website, the client pays nothing if the case is not won.

Service areas

The firm primarily serves Marietta and extends its practice to other locations in Georgia such as Cartersville, Kennesaw, Acworth, Woodstock, Mableton, Sandy Springs, Dallas, and Roswell, among others.
