Civil Litigation Attorney in Gainesville
Gainesville is the Hall County seat, and the county courts sit there. Mitch Skandalakis has tried civil cases to Georgia judges and juries since the 1980s, for plaintiffs and for defendants, and every file is built around what a jury will eventually hear.
The Approach
Four decades on both sides of the courtroom.
There is a difference between managing a lawsuit and trying one. Mitch began his career defending claims for a major insurance carrier, and working both sides of the courtroom teaches you how the other side values a case, delays it, and decides when to settle. He builds every Gainesville file to defeat that evaluation.
A lawsuit is a business decision. Before we recommend one, we tell you what it can recover and what it will cost to get there, and we do not file cases we are unwilling to try.

Questions
Before you call.
How are civil cases billed?
Depending on the matter, hourly, flat fee, contingency, or a hybrid. We put the arrangement in writing before work begins.

Gainesville is the Hall County seat, and the county courts sit there. We appear in the state and superior courts that handle Gainesville matters, and in courts across Georgia.
Do we have to go to court?
