A clear place to begin.
Your circumstances come first
A careful, individual review.
A negligent-security claim may involve an allegation that inadequate security at a property contributed to an injury caused by a criminal act. Such claims require a fact-specific legal review; a crime on a property does not by itself establish the owner’s liability.
We consider the location, the incident, relevant prior information, and the security measures involved. Georgia’s rules in this area have changed, making the date and circumstances of the incident particularly important.

Clear answers. Personal guidance.
Let’s talk
through your questions.
These answers are a starting point. Your circumstances deserve an individual conversation.
Is this separate from a criminal case?
A potential civil claim serves a different purpose from a criminal prosecution. We can explain the distinction and whether a civil claim should be investigated.
Do I need to share sensitive details through the form?
No. Use the initial form to tell us how to reach you. Please avoid sending confidential documents or detailed sensitive information through that inquiry.
How soon should I ask about a claim?
Prompt review helps identify evidence and the deadlines that apply. Special rules may affect particular claims, including those involving a government entity. Do not assume the same deadline applies to every situation.
What does the consultation cost?
Your initial consultation is free. We can explain the fee agreement and how case expenses are handled before you decide whether to hire the firm.
