I was involved in a motor vehicle wreck and I was injured. The insurance company told me that the driver of their car was not covered by their policy. I hired attorney John Adkins and Ed Stone to represent me. He was able to get the insurance company to acknowledge that their policy covered my injuries and he got a great result for me. John Adkins is the best personal injury attorney in Atlanta!

Hired Attorney John W. Adkins

I was seriously injured when a tractor trailer caused me to overturn my vehicle. I knew I had a serious injury, so I hired the best legal team in Atlanta, led by John Adkins, to represent me. John Adkins knew exactly what to do regarding my case. He filed a lawsuit against the responsible parties, including the responsible trucking company, and forced the insurance company to fairly compensate me even though they tried everything to get out of being responsible for the my injuries. John Adkins obtained such a large recovery for me that I will not have any worries regarding my future finances even though I have serious injuries. Hiring John Adkins and the best legal team in Atlanta was a smart decision. If you are hurt in a motor vehicle wreck involving a tractor trailer truck you can’t go wrong by hiring John Adkins to help you regarding your serious personal injury case.

John Adkins is a great attorney! He represented me after I was involved in a rear-end car wreck. The other driver fled the scene after the wreck and their insurance company tried to blame me for the wreck. John Adkins took multiple depositions in my case and was able to prove that the other driver was completely at fault. He obtained a great result for me. Don’t hesitate to call John Adkins to help to when you have been in a car wreck.

I was involved in a motor vehicle collision wreck. I initially hired another attorney, but I was unhappy with the way that they were handling my case. I decided to hire John Adkins instead of my former attorney. As soon as the insurance company discovered that I hired John Adkins, they quickly agreed to settle my case. John Adkins is a excellent lawyer!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
