LICENSED MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ATTORNEYS IN GEORGIA
Scott McMillen is Senior Counsel to the law firm of Paul Knopf Bigger, PLLC. Because we accept Georgia medical malpractice cases, Mr. McMillen maintains satellite offices in Atlanta, Savannah, and Augusta, and will be opening offices in Macon and Columbus soon. These offices are available for client meetings, for depositions, and for “war rooms” when we are in trial. These offices are executive suites not staffed by attorneys full-time, so we are unable to accept “walk-in” requests for consultations. We also have satellite offices throughout Florida, and have fully supported main offices in Central Florida, with our primary office addresses being 1560 N. Orange Ave, Suite 300, Winter Park, FL 32789; 622 East Washington Street, Suite 200, Orlando, FL 32801; and 511 West Bay Street, Suite 450, Tampa, FL 33606.
If advantageous to your case, we will sometimes work with other medical malpractice law firms in certain locations in Georgia to serve you better. If we do associate with other Georgia medical malpractice lawyers on your case it will be because we believe it to be a benefit to you and your case – but it will also only be done in a way that does not cause any additional attorneys’ fees or expenses to you.
