Chance, Forlines, Carter & King, PC: Atlanta, Georgia

Chance, Forlines, Carter & King, PC traces its partnership to 1997, when the site says its lawyers began working together, and it now runs two Atlanta offices, one at Two Premier Plaza on Glenridge Drive and one in Druid Hills on South Ponce de Leon Avenue, along with an office in Augusta. Four partners are named, Stephen Chance, Lindsay A Forlines, Xavier O. Carter and Andrew King, with Liv Devitt and Max Wallace also on the team. The practice leans toward the heavier end of injury litigation: medical malpractice and birth injuries, catastrophic and severe injuries, nursing home abuse and neglect, construction accidents, truck and motor vehicle collisions, premises liability, product liability and wrongful death. It also takes whistleblower cases, which is where its largest published result comes from.
