Legal Elite 2023
For the 21st time, we recognize lawyers from all over Georgia who are considered the best in their field.
For more than two decades, Georgia Trend has recognized the state’s top attorneys who were nominated by their legal peers via our website (georgiatrend.com). The result is Georgia’s Legal Elite, a list of lawyers from all over the state considered the best in their field.
Members of the state bar who live and practice in Georgia were eligible to vote and to be voted onto this list. Respondents could not vote for themselves but could vote for members of their own firms if they voted for an equal or greater number of attorneys outside their firms. We received nominations from hundreds of attorneys, and those with the most votes by their peers appear in the following pages in alphabetical order. While lawyers often practice in many different areas, the 2023 Legal Elite are listed in the categories in which fellow attorneys voted them.
These attorneys represent 15 practice areas: Bankruptcy Rights, Business, Corporate, Criminal, Entertainment and Sports, Family, General Practice/Trial, Healthcare, Immigration, Intellectual Property, Labor and Employment, Personal Injury, Public Finance/Bonds, Real Estate and Construction and Taxes/Estates/Trusts.
Those in the spotlight are determined solely by lawyers’ votes; places on the list are not for sale. The names of attorneys who are advertisers appear in red type. Ballots were tallied, and names were verified by the Georgia Trend staff.
If you are an attorney practicing in Georgia and would like to nominate someone for the 2024 Legal Elite, the online ballot will be available Monday, April 8, 2024, through 5 p.m. on Friday, July 5,
