ABOUT US For more than four decades, Best Lawyers lists have been compiled by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. If the votes for an attorney are positive enough for inclusion in Best Lawyers, that attorney must maintain those votes in subsequent polls to remain on the list for each edition. Lawyers are not permitted to pay any fee to participate in or be included on our lists.

In order to collect feedback on firm and attorney work within specific regions, Best Lawyers curates “metro areas.” For research purposes, smaller and more rural cities located within a reasonable distance to larger cities are combined into single geographical regions—metro areas—to help us collect as much feedback and data for specific individuals, firms, and practice areas as possible. We also award “Lawyer of the Year” accolades through these metro area distinctions.

IN THE LAW

Georgia Rewrote Its Courtrooms. Now Comes the Test. THE STATE’S TORT REFORMS PROMISED A FAIRER, MORE PREDICTABLE SYSTEM. THE RESULTS ARE STILL UP FOR DEBATE. By Justin Joffe

OR NEARLY TWO DECADES, Georgia carried a label no state wants: “judicial hellhole.” Nuclear verdicts, those eight- and nine-figure jury awards that once were outliers, became increasingly common. Businesses faced negligent security suits for crimes they didn’t commit. Juries saw inflated medical bills that insurers had never actually paid. Meanwhile, hedge funds and private investors quietly bankrolled lawsuits with little disclosure. By late 2024, Georgia had spent six straight years on the American Tort Reform Foundation’s Judicial Hellholes list and was at or near the top for most of it. Then, in April 2025, Gov. Brian Kemp signed Senate Bills 68 and 69, the most significant rewrite of Georgia’s civil litigation rules since 2005. Eighteen months later, the reforms have moved from legislation to real courtrooms.

ADOBESTOCK/ GORODENKOFF, BRANDPACKS, PIXELBUDDHA STUDIO ISTOCK.COM/TK

What the Bills Actually Do

SB 68 targets trial mechanics by ending “phantom damages,” allowing juries to see what was actually paid for medical care rather than the full amount originally billed. Defendants can also seek discovery into how treatment was arranged, including referral relationships and whether medical debt was sold to a third party. The law also curbs “anchoring,” limiting attorneys’ ability to introduce dramatic, unrelated numbers during closing arguments. Any figure must now be “rationally related” to the evidence. The most consequential provision may be bifurcation. In bodily injury and wrongful death cases involving more than $150,000, either party can ask to split liability and damages into separate phases, with a third phase for punitive damages. The structure lets defendants argue fault before juries hear a damages figure, reducing the risk of prejudicial anchoring. SB 68 also makes negligent security claims harder to bring by requiring juries to assign fault to the actual perpetrator, while allowing seatbelt evidence for the first time. SB 69 regulates third-party litigation financing, requiring funders to register with the state and making financing agreements of $25,000 or more subject to discovery. Funders cannot direct litigation, choose counsel or experts, or control settlements. Foreign adversaries and sovereign wealth funds are barred from funding cases, while other violations can carry felony penalties.

Eighteen Months In: What’s Actually Changing

The clearest early scorecard came in December 2025, when the American Tort Reform Foundation removed Georgia from its Judicial Hellholes list for the first time in years, while placing several metro Atlanta courts on its Watch List through 2026. In practice, bifurcation gives defendants an opportunity to win or narrow a case before a jury hears a dollar figure. Some cases are now settling immediately after liability verdicts, when both sides can see how jurors view the facts. The impact on damages is less settled. Insurers say ending phantom damages is producing more realistic settlements, while personal injury lawyers say lower offers are pushing more injured people toward trial. SB 69 is even newer: its registration requirement took effect Jan. 1, 2026, leaving relatively few cases to test the rules. Constitutional challenges also remain unresolved. Attorneys flagged potential due-process, equal-protection and jury-trial challenges when SB 68 passed, but no such case has yet reached a Georgia appellate court. And whether reform will lower insurance costs remains an open question. The oft-cited $1,415 annual “tort tax” and estimated loss of 135,000 jobs came from an Insurance Information Institute campaign before passage, not state-generated data. Eighteen months in, neither side has produced public numbers proving the reforms have lowered premiums.

A Test Case the Rest of the Country Is Watching Georgia isn’t reforming alone. Florida passed HB 837 in 2023, while Texas’ major tort-reform effort collapsed in 2025. Georgia’s law survived the legislative process and became a national test case. If its bifurcation and disclosure rules survive legal challenges and deliver the predictability their sponsors promised, other states with “hellhole” reputations may borrow Georgia’s approach. For businesses, the reforms change how litigation risk is priced and managed. For law firms, they require new trial strategies and expertise in areas such as litigationfinancing discovery. Georgia’s courtroom experiment is clearly producing a different system. Whether it produces a fairer one remains to be seen.

Protecting Georgians From Medical ‘Never Events’

Adam Malone is renowned as an authority on plaintiffs’ personal injury law in Georgia and nationwide. His firm, Malone Law, has seen an increase in medical ’never events’ in recent years. The two-time Best Lawyers “Lawyer of the Year” explains how Malone Law’s work aims to improve medical care and end these horrific errors. By Justin Smulison

The

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Ser vices define “never events” as serious, costly errors in the delivery of healthcare that should never happen when proper protocols, communicat ion, and supervision are in place. “Certain mistakes should never occur in a modern hospital, yet they do,” says Malone Law owner Adam Malone, who has been at the forefront of plaintiffs’ law for 26 years and is certified by the American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys and the National Board of Trial Advocates. “These cases reflect not just individual negligence, but system failures that turn routine care into catastrophic, life-altering harm.” Malone has seen an increasing number of matters that fit this description: surgeries p e r fo r m e d al o n g im p ro p e r p at hw ay s , inexcusable medication errors, and patients who are ignored by medical decision-makers. In each scenario, the injury was not the result of unavoidable complications, but preventable breakdowns in the process. For example, Malone started 2026 preparing for a trial against a major metropolitan hospital on behalf of a client, who was 42 when her inter ventional cardiologist injec ted air

bubbles into her coronary arteries during a cardiac catheterization. This caused sudden cardiac arrest, and the client’s heart stopped for 22 minutes before she could be resuscitated. As a result, a mechanical hear t pump was needed. “The mechanical heart pump had to be placed through an artery in the groin, which obstructed blood flow to her leg,” Malone says of the now 45-year-old client. Consequently, her leg died and was amputated just below the hip. “This was completely preventable and would not have happened but for the injection of air into her heart. Rather than face us in trial, the hospital finally did the right thing and resolved the case with enough money to maximize her quality of life, for the rest of her life.” Many never events occur due to what Malone calls “interdisciplinary communication failures” and a troubling blurring of professional roles. “Nurses are sometimes left to shoulder responsibilities that properly belong to physicians, or inexperienced providers are allowed to proceed without meaningful supervision,” says Malone, who in 2016 and 2027 was named the Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” in Medical Malpractice Law in Atlanta. The result is that no one fully owns the patient’s care at the moment when a critical decision must be made. These failures also formed the basis of another case Malone planned to litigate in the latter half of 2026, involving a client whose birth plan was ignored. A mother presented for a scheduled

induction and due to a prior difficult delivery, she told the providers that if anything unusual or abnormal occurs, stop the induction and perform a cesarian delivery. Within a few hours of the induction, the fetal monitor showed an abnormally low heartrate for the baby. The providers never told the mother, kept her in the dark, and allowed the situation to progress to the need for an emergency vaginal delivery. “During the emergency delivery, the baby’s shoulder got stuck and as a result, nerve roots were ripped out of the spinal cord and permanently paralyzed her arm for the rest of her life,” Malone says. “Our role was to hold accountable the healthcare providers who ignored this mother’s instructions.” Malone emphasizes that clear communication and respect for one’s professional limits are essential safeguards against tragedy. Ego, pressure and complacency in healthcare, he says, can override caution, leaving patients exposed to risks they never agreed to face. “These cases are particularly compelling to jurors because they so starkly violate public expectations of hospital safety,” says Malone, who is a former president of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association. “For example, jurors intuitively understand that a woman who enters a hospital with a broken ankle should not die from a hospital overdose of pain medication. We had that case, too.” For Malone Law, litigating never events is about more than compensation. Each case is an opportunity to expose systemic weaknesses, address carelessness and encourage hospitals to adopt safer practices. Malone says, “By holding healthcare institutions accountable for errors that should never happen, Malone Law aims to protect future patients from suffering the same avoidable harm.” W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM

Appellate Practice Years in Practice

“ONES TO WATCH” RECOGNITIONS These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years. Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded more than 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details

MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE, BRAIN INJURY, CATASTROPHIC INJURY MALONE L AW ’S six- decade j o u r n e y a s G e o r g i a ’s c o u r t r o o m trailblazers continued in 2025 and 2026, as the plaintiffs’ firm secured multiple high-value recoveries on behalf of catastrophically injured victims and their families throughout the state. Malone Law focuses on quality over quantity, as demonstrated in 2025 when the firm secured more than $80 million in just six cases on behalf of injured plaintiffs. These results, in addition to their depth of knowledge, have rightly earned Malone Law annual Tier 1 rankings from 2026 Best Law Firms® in Atlanta in two different practice areas: Personal Injury Litigation—Plaintiffs and Medical Malpractice Law—Plaintiffs. Firm owner Adam Malone emphasizes that his firm’s most meaningful impact begins after resolving a catastrophic injury case, when injured clients and their families can begin rebuilding their lives following immense trauma. “Patients are entitled to trust their healthcare providers. Clients often come to us after enormous physical, financial, and emotional devastation inflicted by the very medical providers they relied on for protection,” said Malone, who was named Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” in Medical Malpractice Law in

Atlanta in 2016 and 2027. “It is a privilege to stand up for them, because every matter we accept is an opportunity to change the harmful systems that allowed the damage in the first place.” Malone Law was founded by Adam’s late father, Thomas “Tommy” Malone, a pioneering trial lawyer who helped shape modern plaintiffs’ practice in Georgia. Since its inception, Malone Law has guided hundreds of injured people and their families through the aftermath of catastrophic injuries and wrongful deaths arising from medical malpractice and preventable negligence. “Our cases involve devastating brain damage, paralysis, amputations, and injuries that affect people of all ages. This requires a sophisticated understanding of how medicine, safety standards and the law intersect,” said Malone, a former President of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association and former Chair of the American Association for Justice’s Traumatic Brain Injury Litigation Group. The firm also litigates cases involving “never events,” which are defined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services as “serious and costly errors in the provision of health care services that should never happen.” “ We invest hundreds of hours in discovery, listen carefully, and leverage

technology and demonstrative evidence in thoughtful ways to deliver the true and complete story to juries and judges,” said Malone, a Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer. “By identifying protocol failures and careless practices, and pressing for accountability and full compensation, we are making safer systems going forward.” Malone and par tner Meri Benoit Link, who has practiced with the firm for 20 years, more recently deepened their talent bench with the addition of Christopher Carter, a former Mississippi state prosecutor and Assistant United States Attorney, and Wynn B. Sowersby, who brings decades of experience as a former staff attorney for some of Georgia’s most respected trial judges.In 2025, witness examinations by Link and Carter during a jury trial in Bibb County were instrumental in securing a $6 million verdict for the wrongful death of a 35-year-old man who was discharged from a hospital without being treated for obstructive hydrocephalus resulting from a brain tumor. “Malone Law honors its roots while investing in where we are going,” Malone said. “Our trial team will always consist of dedicated advocates who believe deeply in using the law to protect people, improve safety, and give injured families a voice.”
