I hired Sexton Weldon Law Firm to handle the traffic citation for my daughter. Jacob explained about the different options available in detail and guided us in the right direction to resolve the case very professionally and expeditiously. He was very patient with our questions and made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend Jacob.

I would highly recommend Jaqueline “Jackie” at Sexton Weldon Law Firm. She is highly helpful, truly cares about the client, shoots straight, and knows the area. I would not hesitate to hire her or SWLF with any matter you need advice and counsel on.

My son and I were in a car accident and needed legal advice. We received not only excellent advice but we also received it in a timely manner. I was kept in the loop the entire process. I would recommend them for any legal advice you may need!

I hired Mr. Weldon from Sexton Weldon Law Firm to handle a traffic violation. He was very attentive and a great communicator. When I first contacted him, he took the time to listen to me fully explain the situation and reassured me he could help. He explained the process and gave me a timeline for completion. We felt very confident that Mr. Weldon would help us achieve the best possible outcome. He put our mind at ease and our case was handled quickly and effectively. I paid the fee and fine and did not receive any further repercussions on my insurance. No one wants to be in a circumstance requiring a lawyer. However, if you have a situation requiring one, Jacob Weldon is the best! I would highly recommend him or Sexton Weldon Law Firm to anyone.

Mr. Sexton and his staff are the best! Mr. Sexton is extremely knowledgeable, and his staff work closely with him to guide clients through the difficult process following a personal injury. He is one of those rare lawyers who combined compassionate, with an unyielding advocacy for my case. I am pleased with my settlement and would highly recommend Mr. Sexton.

ANSWERS BEFORE YOU CALL

Frequently Asked Questions

Every situation is different. These answers offer a useful starting point before we discuss the facts of your case.

We charge nothing up front. Our fees are collected only if we win your case.

Every case is different. Some claims can be resolved in a matter of months, while serious or disputed cases may take considerably longer, particularly when litigation is necessary.

In most cases, Georgia law gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. However, some exceptions apply, especially with government entities or minors. The sooner you contact an attorney, the better.

Never accept a settlement without legal advice. Insurance companies often offer far less than your case is worth. We can review any offer and help you understand your true options.

Most personal injury cases settle out of court. But if the insurance company won’t offer a fair amount, we’re prepared to go to trial and fight for you.

Yes, Georgia law allows recovery as long as you are less than 50% at fault. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, property damage, and wrongful death damages for families may be available depending on the facts of the case.
