This site is not legal advice
First Counsel is an educational resource. It is designed to help people who have been injured understand how the personal injury process works in Georgia, what questions to ask when evaluating an attorney, and what to look for at each stage of a case. It is not a substitute for professional legal advice.
No two cases are the same. The information on this site reflects general principles and common patterns in Georgia personal injury law, but every case is fact-dependent. What applies to one situation may not apply to yours. The outcomes described on this site, including verdicts, settlements, and case results, were achieved under specific circumstances and should not be interpreted as a guarantee or prediction of any particular result in any other case.
Always speak to a licensed attorney about your specific situation before taking action. Do not rely on the information on this site to make legal decisions without consulting a professional who can evaluate the facts of your case.
No attorney-client relationship
Visiting this site, reading its content, downloading a guide, submitting a contact form, or sending an email does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship with First Counsel or with Josh Samuels is only established through a signed representation agreement.
No information you submit through this site is protected by attorney-client privilege until a formal engagement has been established through a signed contract. While we treat all inquiries as confidential and handle them with care, the legal protections of the attorney-client relationship do not apply until both parties have agreed to representation in writing.
If you submit information through this site, you do so with the understanding that no attorney-client relationship exists unless and until a representation agreement is signed.
Case results and testimonials
The case results on this site represent outcomes achieved in specific cases with specific facts. They are presented to illustrate the types of cases handled and the approach taken, not to promise similar outcomes. Prior results do not guarantee future performance. Every case is different.
Third-party links
This site may contain links to external websites, including government agencies, legal resources, and other third-party sources. These links are provided for informational purposes. First Counsel does not control and is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of third-party sites.
Accuracy of information
We make every effort to ensure the information on this site is accurate and current. However, laws change, procedures vary by county, and individual circumstances affect how general principles apply. Information on this site may not reflect the most recent legal developments. We do not warrant that all content is complete, accurate, or up to date at all times.
Georgia-specific information
The information on this site pertains to Georgia law and Georgia personal injury practice. It may not be applicable in other states. If you are located outside of Georgia or your case involves laws of another jurisdiction, consult an attorney licensed in the relevant state.
