Clients receive expert legal representation for issues including salvage title concealment and unlawful lienholder omissions across Georgia courts.

We ensure compliance with Georgia's vehicle history disclosure requirements and federal documentation standards.

Questions
What constitutes auto fraud under Georgia law?
Auto fraud includes odometer rollback, hidden salvage titles, failure to disclose flood damage, and electronic signature manipulation during vehicle sales.
Can I sue for odometer fraud?
Yes. Federal law allows $10,000 or triple actual damages for odometer violations. Georgia law may add $1,500 to successful claims.
What if my dealer never provided a car title?
Georgia dealers must show the certificate of title before sale completion. Failure to do so creates legal claims for registration violations and potential fraud.
How are attorney fees handled?
Most cases use contingency fees - we only collect payment if we win your case. No upfront costs required.
What areas do you serve?
We represent clients across Metro Atlanta including Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, Gwinnett, and Rockdale counties.
