GENERAL INFORMATION

    My practice has been about fifty per cent plaintiff's personal injury litigation. The rest has been a potpourri of general civil litigation. I have represented small and medium sized businesses, and I have sued small, medium sized and large businesses.
    I have, in federal court, successfully attacked and had declared unconstitutional two local ordinances restricting the use of portable signs. Both of these cases were upheld on appeal. Dills v. Marietta, 674 F.2d 1377 and Dills v. Cobb County, 755 F.2d 1473.
    I have, with varying degrees of success, sued doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, banks, executors of estates, an automobile manufacturer, builders, developers, foreign nationals and various governmental agencies.
    I successfully attacked a county tax assessment of a subdivision's recreational property, resulting in lowering the tax bill from about $1,600.00 to $40.00 (forty) per year. I am currently working with about fifty subdivisions, with an eye toward a class action suit, which could result in this particular county having to forgive millions of dollars in tax assessments.
