MEDIATION

Beginning in 2023, I added mediation to my resume. 30 years of litigating personal injury cases across Georgia, as well as participating in hundreds of mediations, means I bring the experience and work ethic necessary to help resolve even the most challenging cases. Before I decided to take mediation training, I asked a defense attorney who I’ve litigated against over the years if he thought I’d be effective. I was humbled by his response, “You have the background, training, education and experience to be an eminently qualified, highly effective and very capable mediator.” I believe most cases can and should be settled, but it takes work; I’m honored to work hard for anyone who wants to try.

Ann-Margaret’s dedication to helping others extends beyond her profession. For nine years she served on the Board of Directors (Chairman 2006-2008) of Southeastern Guide Dogs, Inc., one of only 12 fully accredited guide dog schools in the United States. Ann-Margaret also volunteered as a guide dog puppy raiser with Southeastern as well as hosting guide dog breeder “Baxter”. Baxter had 18 wonderful puppies for Southeastern, many of whom became working guide dogs.

For 35 years, Ann-Margaret was a member of the Pilot Club of Carrollton, serving three terms as President.
