The Persons Firm, LLC: Marietta, Georgia

The Persons Firm, LLC works from Roselane Street in Marietta and is run by two lawyers who share the name: Benjamin Stephen Persons IV, whom the site credits with twenty-five years practicing in Georgia, and Amanda Emmons Persons, a trial lawyer and victims’ advocate who took her law degree at Mercer University’s Walter F. George School of Law in 2000. The firm names its case manager Allison Maurer and senior paralegal Tricia W. Knor alongside them. Its practice list breaks collisions down by pattern, separating failure to yield, head-on, hit and run, rear-end, rollover, side impact, aggressive driving and distracted driving claims rather than folding them into one car accident page. Its results page lists fifty-one outcomes and names the court for most of them.
