Criminal Charges

If you have been charged with a crime or a serious traffic violation in Georgia, you could be facing serious consequences. A conviction can result in jail time, fines, loss of your driver’s license or other serious consequences. At Closson, Bass & Tomberlin, we aggressively defend anyone who has been accused of a wide range of misdemeanor and felony charges.

Work Injuries

Being injured at work changes your life. It puts unnecessary stress on your family and makes it impossible to pay your bills. It can leave you with chronic pain or keep you in bed.

Social Security Disability

If you or a loved one has experienced a permanently disabling illness or an injury, you may be eligible to receive Social Security benefits. The Social Security Administration administers disability benefits for millions of Americans who need help covering their expenses and medical needs, but the process of actually getting benefits can be long, confusing and discouraging.
