About

FMG is a specialty litigation firm representing clients in the areas of Business Liability and Insurance Law, Commercial and Complex Litigation, Construction and Design Law, Government Law, and Labor and Employment Law.

One of the largest law firms in Cobb County, FMG was founded in 1997 by three nationally known leaders in the practice areas of government, labor, and construction law. The firm began with 8 attorneys and now has 34 attorneys.  The firm’s knowledgeable, experienced lawyers have earned a reputation for developing practical, cost-effective legal solutions in their fields. They are highly skilled at early evaluation of cases, prompt and innovative resolutions, and aggressive defense through litigation when necessary. With its client-centered approach, FMG focuses on producing successful results rather than generating billable hours.
