The 2022 Georgia’s Best Lawyers® publication includes top-ranked legal talent in The Best Lawyers in America® as well as the second edition listings of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Greater Atlanta, Macon and Savannah.

In this issue, we talk with one of Georgia’s top personal injury and medical malpractice lawyers, Adam Malone. In 2021, he made remarkable recoveries for clients, and his dedication to helping injury and malpractice victims has made him a leader in and out of the courtroom. Along with multi-million-dollar settlements for catastrophically injured victims in court, Malone has recently been appointed President of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association. Malone and his firm, Malone Law, strive to serve those who have experienced some of the most life-altering injuries and medical malpractice, including paralysis, brain damage, wrongful death, amputation, unnecessary surgery and medical negligence. Adam and his firm find the work gratifying and believe it is their calling to bring justice to victims and their families.

This issue also features:

  • A spotlight on the “Lawyer of the Year” recipients in Georgia
  • In the Law: A look at new laws taking effect in Georgia in 2022
  • Listings of all lawyers from Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Greater Atlanta, Macon and Savannah in The Best Lawyers in America® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America
