We have familiarity with the following common types of construction issues: Liens (filing and perfecting) Contracts Collections Arbitration/mediation It’s often important to act quickly in a construction dispute, so do not hesitate to contact Downs Law to evaluate your construction issue.

Most of us can't have imagined our business relationships would experience the level of stress many of them are experiencing during this pandemic.

Downs Law can help you understand and protect your rights, whatever the nature of your agreement. Our firm routinely handle...s business disputes, including: Shareholder disputes.. Partnership disputes. Business divorces. Disputes over operating agreements. Breaches of loan agreements/promissory notes. Most of these disputes can be resolved outside of court, or at least prior to trial, but to do so requires a thorough understanding of your agreement and potential leverage.

Downs Law is proud to support the work of the Georgia Innocence Project. Congrats to Mr. Robinson! Repost @gainnocence It's been one year since GIP client Kerry Robinson walked out of Coffee Correctional Facility man after nearly 18 years wrongly convicted of a crime he did not commit.... In the year since his release, Kerry has been working and attending trade school with his son, purchased a car, and just two weeks ago, celebrated his first birthday as a free man. We’ve been so lucky to witness him chart a new path over the past year, and we look forward to continued partnership in the fight to end #wrongfulconvictions in #Georgia. Please join us in celebrating Kerry’s hard-fought freedom and wishing him all the best in this new year! You can also help Kerry continue rebuilding by donating at the link in our bio to donate to his MightyCause fundraiser. *This is a private fundraiser, and as such, it is NOT tax-deductible.
