To be fully honest,  no amount of words can ever express how amazing my lawyer John Paul Labouff has been, as well as ... the best paralegal there is, Ivette Sanchez. They're a unstoppable team who genuinely worked hard on my case, as well as thorough. John Paul even brought in another attorney to advise him on my unique situation.  I will forever be grateful to them, and everyone at GA injury advocates. They worked quickly but carefully and made sure I got every ounce of what i deserved and more.  From a business stance they are air tight.  On a character level, I feel as though they are the type of friends you'd want in your life forever.   Even after my case was settled and their job was done. They were immediately there for me when I had an issue with my bank that I didn't know how to handle. They both were happy to help me sort through the issue, and encouraged me to reach out any time i needed them.I feel choosing anyone else to represent you, would be a mistake.John Paul & IvetteI personally want to say thank you so much again.  You truly changed my life to the betterread more

A big thank you to Rodriguez and Associates for getting me the maximum settlement for my Personal Injury claim. I was... involved in a terrible car wreck on April 1, 2019 and received my settlement on September 18, 2019! Mr. Rodriguez and his wonderful office staff were very helpful during the process and did a great job keeping me informed of the developments during my case. Mr. Rodriguez effectively negotiated the settlement with three different insurance companies in just a matter of months. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome considering the terrible circumstances. I highly recommend GA Injury Advocates. Thanks again so very much!read more

I get requested very often to rate individuals, products and companies. I never really fulfill these requests because I... don't have time, I am not interested, or I don't have a strong reason why! Today I have a good reason and his name is Erick Lara Paiz. Erick the legal assistant with Rodriguez & Associates, a law firm that represented me in a car accident injury. Erick is a very respectful and well spoken person. He is extremely knowledgeable and always more than willing to help. Erik is great with keeping me informed with what is going on with the case. I love the fact that anytime I call with questions on inquires Erick will almost ALWAYS answer. In the event that he doesn't pick up and I leave a message, he calls me back so QUICKLY. Anybody who is looking to hire a law firm to represent them. Please give Rodriguez & Associate a call and ask for Erik Lara Paiz!read more
