All Law Firms Are Not Created Equal
At Van Sant Law, we are not an impersonal mega-firm, but neither are we a one-man operation. Our five attorneys work together to bring results to our clients. Nationwide, only 2.5 percent of all lawyers in Georgia have been named to the prestigious Georgia Super Lawyers list (compiled by a national law firm ratings organization). In our firm, the figure is 60 percent.
Defendants and insurance companies laugh at lawyers who “talk settlement” but haven’t demonstrated the ability to win in court. They’re not laughing at us, though. Our founder David Van Sant has been named one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in Georgia by The National Trial Lawyers, and our other attorneys are also experienced trial lawyers. Perhaps that is why we end up settling the vast majority of our client’s claims.
