Prior to establishing his Georgia personal injury practice, J. Scott Key was one of Georgia’s leading criminal defense attorneys. This background makes him uniquely qualified to deliver outstanding results for his personal injury clients.

As a seasoned trial lawyer, Scott excels at persuading judges and juries to side with his clients at the highest state and federal courts. He has a long record of precedent-setting victories under his belt.

But Scott is just as formidable across the negotiation table as he is before judge and jury.

Sometimes, the best strategy is to win the war without going to battle. Scott has mastered every tool and avenue for achieving the best result—and with extensive connections at all levels of the state judiciary, he knows exactly what it takes to win in Georgia.
