At The AVAIL Firm, we champion the cause that everyone deserves a sense of safety and support when dealing with legal issues, no matter their background or where they reside in Georgia. Thanks to Georgia’s laws that endorse remote legal work and virtual consultations, our mission to provide accessible, inclusive, and empathetic legal representation to families across the state—from the heart of Atlanta to the outskirts of Valdosta, Augusta and Savannah—is more achievable than ever. Georgia Law: A Protective Umbrella for All Familie s Sorting through legal requirements like estate planning, child custody, and personal injury can seem like a tangled web, but Georgia law has measures that help families plan their futures and safeguard their rights, all while emphasizing accessibility. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) lays out the legal blueprint for family law, estate planning, and personal injury claims, tailored to handle typical challenges and requirements that families encounter. As attorneys proficient in these laws, we leverage the protections and rights provided by Georgia law to benefit our clients. Here's how we do it: Estate Planning : Georgia’s estate laws, within O.C.G.A. Title 53, provide the clarity for wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives, ensuring that your voice is heard and respected. Whether you're drafting a will, setting up a trust, or planning for healthcare decisions, our team can lead you through these steps to ensure your plans are legally robust, comprehensive, and safeguarded by Georgia’s laws. Child Custody and Family Law : Georgia law prioritizes the child's best interests in custody decisions, as detailed in O.C.G.A. § 19-9-3. This child-centric method enables us to argue powerfully for arrangements that serve the child and address every family's unique needs. In divorce, custody, and support cases, we help clients navigate the intricacies with compassion and skill. Personal Injury Claims : In Georgia, there's a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33), as well as comparative negligence rules. These laws provide individuals the chance to seek rightful compensation for injuries, with provisions for shared responsibility that ensure fairness. Our team is here to guide clients through the claims process, advocating for fair outcomes at every stage. The Virtual Edge : Accessibility Across Georgia As a virtual firm, The AVAIL Firm delivers an unmatched advantage for clients anywhere in Georgia, making legal aid more accessible and efficient than ever. We understand that driving for hours to meet an attorney or waiting in a reception area can be challenging, particularly in sensitive situations. That’s why we offer remote consultations, secure document sharing, and case updates—all readily available online. Our virtual services include: Instant Communication: Clients can reach us through secure video calls, phone calls, or messaging via our online portal, providing you immediate access to your attorney and legal team without having to travel. Easy Document Handling: Through our digital case management system, you can upload documents, sign agreements, and review case updates from your home, whether you’re on your computer or mobile device. Flexible Appointments: We understand that family commitments, work, and other responsibilities can make scheduling in-person meetings challenging. Our virtual services let you consult with us at times that suit your schedule, removing hurdles and delays. Wide Reach: Whether you dwell in a bustling metro area or rural community, our virtual setup enables every Georgian to access skilled legal aid, regardless of location.
