Attorneys with the Atlanta law firm of Federal & Hasson, LLP (F&H) are specialists in resolving Clients’ legal disputes through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.  F&H is the only firm in Atlanta, Georgia to have a former Superior Court Judge, a Felony Prosecutor and a Public Defender among their attorneys.

The Firm's Clients may be individuals, small to medium-sized businesses, or large corporations. The Firm argues cases in Federal and State Courts and before administrative agencies (at the trial and appellate levels) in a wide variety of legal matters that are reflected in the Practice Areas of this website.

The Firm carefully evaluates each new Client and engagement to insure that the Firm’s resources are fully committed to provide them with the maximum opportunity for success.  If accepted by the Firm, each new Client is provided with a Representation Agreement setting out the Client’s and the Firm’s obligations to each other (see the Fee Arrangements section for an explanation of the various fee arrangements which are available).  Our commitment to Client service is outlined in our Client’s Bill of Rights. In addition, Clients are made aware of the Canons of Ethics which govern all lawyers’ professional conduct and relationships with Clients.

While all the Firm’s attorneys are “trial lawyers” by training and experience (see Attorney Profiles), they also recognize that courtroom trials can be highly stressful, and very expensive for many Clients.  The Firm considers jury trials a last resort to be exercised only when the Client’s dispute cannot be resolved by any other means.  Therefore, the Firm’s attorneys first attempt to achieve the Client’s objectives through direct negotiation with the adverse party or attorney, through voluntary mediation with a qualified neutral third-party, and/or through binding arbitration as alternative methods to traditional trials (see the Arbitration & Mediation section for an explanation of the benefits of these different methods).  Only if and when these alternative methods are unsuccessful does the Firm recommend taking the Client’s case to trial.  Of course, the best way to insure success in negotiations, mediations, or arbitrations is to prepare for trial.

A sampling of Representative Cases has been compiled to provide examples of some of the many types of matters in which the Firm’s trial lawyers have been engaged.  In order to protect the privacy and maintain the confidentiality of the Clients in some of the cases listed, minor changes have been made to certain details of the case descriptions.  Upon specific request, the identities of the Clients in any particular case may be made available as references with the express prior consent of each Client.
