Attorney Information
Overview
For 25 years, Mike practiced with Georgia’s largest insurance defense law firm primarily representing two large South Georgia health systems and defended multiple insurance companies in automobile and premises cases. However, as Mr. Peterman says, Mike came to the light and recently began representing clients with serious injuries. While Mike lives in Fitzgerald, Georgia, his scope of practice reaches beyond Fitzgerald’s borders into all surrounding communities.
Mike earned his undergraduate degree from Florida State University in 1993 before receiving his Juris Doctor in 1998 from Thomas M. Cooley Law School. Upon graduating law school, Mike worked for the Honorable John D. “Dickey” Crosby and the Honorable Gary McCorvey of the Tift Judicial Circuit. Mike is admitted to all State and Federal Courts in Georgia. When he is not working, Mike and his family enjoy the outdoors and attend Central Wesleyan Church in Fitzgerald.
If you, a family member, or friend have been injured in an automobile accident, suffered an injury as the result of a business or landowner’s negligence, or have been the victim of medical malpractice in either a hospital or nursing home, please give Mike a call to schedule a consultation.
