Georgia Workers' Compensation Lawyer Blog

We are pleased to announce that Atlanta injury lawyer Michael Moebes was featured as a profiled attorney in Carolyn Elefant's new book: 

Solo by Choice - The Companion Guide: 34 Questions that could Transform Your Legal Career.

The book will be released next month, but as contributors, our firm received an advance copy, along with an index of our 17 published responses provided to the questions asked of successful self-employed attorneys throughout the United States.  The dog was not included with the advance copy, however.

Topics covered include how to create immediate revenue streams, a spouse's role in deciding to go solo, work/life balance issues, budgets, marketing (online and otherwise), business plans, and many other questions and answers useful to attorneys hoping to one day become self-employed. 

If you're an aspiring or new solo attorney and would like to get this great reference book, look here in late October to get a copy.  In the meantime, if you've been injured at work and have questions about your Georgia workers' compensation claim or personal injury case, please contact Moebes Law, LLC at 404-354-5432.

Almost every time we submit settlement paperwork to the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation, the stipulation is approved. Settlement paperwork is normally generated by the workers' compensation defense attorney and is then sent to our office for signatures. Once we review the forms and make any necessary changes, we submit the papers back to the employer/insurer's lawyers' office, and it's submitted to the State Board for approval.

The only time I've seen a client's stipulation paperwork fail to get Board approval was when a client was not forthcoming about child support liens he had in another state. So, always be honest about any child support liens that are outstanding when you settle your workers' compensation claim in Georgia, even if they are from other states.

Remember the children. They are our future.

I'm frequently asked to spell my name over the telephone with new workers' compensation clients, opposing attorneys, and insurance adjusters.

Because of my 14-year military background, this question normally leads me into my default method of phonetic spelling:  Mike, Oscar, Echo, Bravo, Echo, Sierra.

However, the letters are often lost on the listener, either from a lack of experience with general aviation or a failure to serve in the armed forces.

So, I've created a new phonetic alphabet for spelling my last name that's more befitting my proud profession:

M as in Major Surgery
O as in Occupational Illness
E as in Exemplary Damages
B as in Burns over 25% of the Body
E as in Emotional Distress
S as in Severe Sciatica

Now that you can spell Moebes Law, feel free to refer us to your friends and neighbors who have been injured at work in Georgia.
