Attorney Information
Overview
Voted Georgia Super Lawyer 2016 – 2026!
Arturo Corso created The Corso Law Center, LLC from his servant’s heart. For 30 years, he has been serving the people who need help the most — those in desperate, surprising, unjust circumstances; those who need the very best whether in Georgia’s state courts or federal courts. Concierge legal services for everyone, 24/7. That was a first! And Arturo has had many firsts: the first criminal defense lawyer from Northeast Georgia named a “Rising Star,” and the first named a “Super Lawyer” honoree (now for 10 years in a row); the first lawyer ever — anywhere on the planet — to use video conference technology in a criminal jury trial; the first fluent Spanish-speaking lawyer in North Georgia; the first fully bilingual law firm in North Georgia. He even launched a think tank to help young lawyers transition from the public sector into private practice. Some say Arturo truly has no equal. Impossible trial victories in the courtroom, yes, but also thousands of charges just dismissed without a trial, sparing his clients anxiety and saving them money from the beginning. When you need a super Lawyer, call The Corso Law Center, LLC.
