Owner & Managing Attorney
Charlie A. Fortson, Esq.
An accident changes more than your calendar.
There's the pain. Then the medical bills, the missed work, the calls from adjusters, and the quiet worry about how all of it gets paid for.
Our job is to take the legal weight off your shoulders — the paperwork, the deadlines, the negotiation — so you can put your attention where it belongs: on getting better.
Practice Areas

Why Clients Choose Us
Focused attention. Thorough preparation.
Personal attention
You work directly with the attorney handling your case, from the first conversation forward.
Clear, proactive communication
You can expect to understand what is happening in your case and what comes next. Calls are answered Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. local time at each office; email is an alternative. Client emails receive a response within 1–2 business days, and submitted documents are typically reviewed within 3–5 business days.
Careful case preparation
We build the file thoroughly from the start, because a well-documented claim is a stronger claim.
Georgia and Louisiana knowledge
Two states, two sets of rules and deadlines. We handle claims in both.
Ready for the next step
We evaluate negotiation and litigation options with you and discuss filing suit when it may be the right next step.
“I built A Fortson Law Firm to give injured people the attention, information, and determined advocacy they deserve. You should never feel like a file number—especially when your health, livelihood, and future are at stake.”

How It Works
A clear path from “what now?” to resolution.
- 01
Tell Us What Happened
Share the basics in a free case review. We listen first, then explain your options in plain language.
- 02
We Investigate and Build the Claim
We preserve evidence, investigate liability and available insurance, gather records, and document how the injury has affected your daily life and work.
- 03
We Deal With the Insurance Companies
Adjusters call us instead of you. We handle the paperwork, the questions, and the negotiation.
- 04
We Evaluate Your Options
We weigh negotiation and litigation options with you, explain the tradeoffs, and discuss filing suit only when it may be the right next step.
Every matter is evaluated individually. No result is guaranteed, and prior outcomes do not predict the outcome of any other case.
