Dedicated to helping injured people and their families

Butler Kahn focuses exclusively on personal injury and wrongful death cases. We are committed to providing thoughtful legal representation, personal attention, and meaningful support for individuals and families facing difficult circumstances.

Our firm is selective about the cases we accept so we can dedicate the time, preparation, and resources each matter deserves. When you work with Butler Kahn, you can expect direct communication and a legal team that stays actively involved throughout your case.

Some firms handle a high volume of cases and aim to resolve them quickly. That is not our approach. We maintain a smaller caseload so we can give each client and case the attention they deserve. You may not see Butler Kahn on billboards, but you will see our attorneys working closely with clients and advocating for them every step of the way.

Cash Krugler Fredericks represents individuals and families who have suffered serious injury or loss as a result of the wrongful or intentional conduct of others.

The firm represents clients throughout Georgia and also handles select matters in jurisdictions across the United States. The attorneys take a different approach than many larger practices, emphasizing personal attention and direct communication with every client. Rather than operating as a high‑volume practice, the firm intentionally accepts a limited number of matters. This allows the attorneys to devote meaningful time, preparation, and resources to each case while working diligently and efficiently on behalf of the people they represent.

CM Law, formerly known as Culhane Meadows, was founded in 2013 through a visionary alliance of four attorneys who came together to build a different kind of law firm. The founding attorneys had collaborated for more than 15 years at several prominent national firms and shared a common vision: create a firm built around exceptional legal talent, strong client relationships, and a more efficient approach to delivering legal services.

From the beginning, CM Law was designed to challenge the traditional law firm model and focus resources where they matter most—on clients and their legal needs.

How is CM Law different from the traditional law firm model?

CM Law was founded on the belief that clients should not have to pay for the high overhead and inefficiencies traditionally associated with large law firms.

We leverage emerging technology and innovative ways of working to deliver sophisticated legal services efficiently, while avoiding unnecessary expenses such as extravagant office space, excessive support staff, elaborate artwork, marble columns, and other overhead that does not add value to the client experience.

Our approach allows us to remain focused on what matters most: providing high-quality legal counsel, responsive service, and meaningful value to our clients.

What does it mean to be a Client Minded Advocate® at CM Law?

At CM Law, we recognize that every legal matter exists within a larger business context. Whether a client is a growing business or a sophisticated in-house legal department, legal issues are often connected to broader objectives—including market demands, financial considerations, regulatory requirements, organizational culture, diversity and inclusion, and social or marketing goals.

That is why our attorneys approach each matter with an understanding of the client’s bigger picture. Rather than viewing a legal issue in isolation, we work to understand the business objectives behind it and develop practical strategies that help our clients achieve those goals.

How does CM Law bring together the right legal talent for its clients?

We cultivate cross-disciplinary, client-centered teams of attorneys with extensive legal experience and real-world business knowledge. By drawing on the collective capabilities of attorneys across practices and industries, we can assemble teams that are tailored to the specific needs of each client and matter.

This collaborative approach allows our clients to benefit from the depth and breadth of a full-service national law firm while maintaining the personalized attention and responsiveness they expect from their trusted legal advisors.

What role does inclusion play at CM Law?

Inclusion is fundamental to who we are—not simply concepts we discuss, but principles reflected in the way our firm is structured and operated.

As the largest national, full-service, women-owned and managed law firm in the United States, CM Law is proud to demonstrate its commitment through action. Our demographics and growth tell an important part of that story, as does our unique, objective, and fully transparent compensation system.

We believe meaningful inclusion requires more than statements or initiatives. It requires creating an environment where talented attorneys have opportunities to succeed, contribute, lead, and be recognized for the value they bring to the firm and our clients.

What makes CM Law’s approach successful?

Ultimately, our success is driven by our people and our commitment to our clients. We are privileged that so many business owners and in-house legal departments trust CM Law with their legal needs. That trust is a reflection of the exceptional legal work, responsiveness, business-minded perspective, and personal commitment of our attorneys.

Our model is intentionally designed to put those qualities at the center of the client experience—combining sophisticated legal counsel with efficiency, collaboration, transparency, and a genuine understanding of what our clients are trying to accomplish.

Goldstein Hayes Trial Lawyers

Goldstein Hayes Trial Lawyers is an Atlanta-based personal injury trial law firm dedicated exclusively to representing individuals and families whose lives have been permanently changed by catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. Led by Managing Partner Jonathan P. Hayes and Founder James A. Goldstein, the firm represents clients throughout Georgia, including Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, Augusta, Columbus, Athens, Albany, Valdosta, and surrounding communities, while accepting select catastrophic injury and commercial trucking matters throughout the Southeast. By intentionally limiting its caseload, Goldstein Hayes provides every client with direct attorney access, individualized litigation strategies, and the resources necessary to pursue the most complex and consequential cases.

Over decades of practice, Goldstein Hayes has recovered nearly $1 billion in verdicts and settlements, including more than $400 million in commercial trucking litigation. The firm's record includes numerous seven-, eight-, and nine-figure recoveries, highlighted by a $150 million trucking wrongful death verdict, along with substantial results involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, medical malpractice, and other catastrophic injury claims. These results reflect disciplined case selection, meticulous preparation, strategic advocacy, and a proven willingness to take complex cases through trial and appeal when necessary to obtain full accountability and maximum compensation for injured clients and their families.

The firm's personal injury attorneys represent clients in matters involving commercial truck accidents, tractor-trailer and 18-wheeler collisions, catastrophic automobile crashes, wrongful death, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, medical malpractice, birth injuries, construction and industrial accidents, product liability, dangerous premises, drowning incidents, and other catastrophic negligence claims. Goldstein Hayes regularly litigates against commercial motor carriers, Fortune 500 companies, healthcare systems, manufacturers, construction companies, property owners, and insurance carriers in cases involving permanent disability, life-changing injuries, and fatal accidents.

Every matter begins with a comprehensive investigation focused on preserving critical evidence, identifying every responsible party, and documenting the full extent of a client's losses. The firm collaborates with nationally recognized physicians, accident reconstruction specialists, engineers, economists, vocational rehabilitation experts, and life-care planners to develop persuasive evidence supporting liability and damages. This multidisciplinary approach enables Goldstein Hayes to present complex medical, scientific, and financial issues with clarity before insurance companies, judges, juries, and appellate courts.

Commercial trucking litigation is a defining focus of the firm's practice. Goldstein Hayes routinely investigates cases involving violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSA), negligent hiring, negligent retention, hours-of-service violations, distracted driving, maintenance failures, cargo securement issues, and other acts of corporate negligence that contribute to catastrophic truck crashes. This experience enables the firm's attorneys to uncover critical evidence, establish corporate accountability, and maximize recovery for clients facing devastating injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one.

Unlike high-volume personal injury firms, Goldstein Hayes prepares every case as though it will ultimately be decided by a jury. Comprehensive discovery, strategic motion practice, expert witness development, advanced courtroom presentation technology, and persuasive trial advocacy are central to the firm's litigation philosophy. This trial-first approach strengthens the firm's position both in the courtroom and at the negotiating table, ensuring every case is prepared to achieve the best possible outcome.

The attorneys of Goldstein Hayes have earned recognition from many of the legal profession's most respected organizations, including Best Lawyers®, Super Lawyers®, Lawdragon, The National Trial Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent®, and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Their work has also been featured by Forbes, USA Today, MSN, and Atlanta Magazine, among other respected legal and business publications. The firm's attorneys regularly publish educational resources addressing commercial trucking litigation, catastrophic injury law, wrongful death claims, and trial advocacy while remaining active in professional organizations and community initiatives dedicated to improving public safety and protecting the rights of injured individuals.

Goldstein Hayes measures success by the results it achieves—not the number of cases it accepts. Families confronting catastrophic injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one choose Goldstein Hayes because they want experienced trial lawyers with the skill, resources, and determination to stand up to powerful corporations and insurance companies. The firm's selective approach allows every client to receive the attention, preparation, and advocacy that complex, high-stakes litigation demands. Through disciplined preparation, direct attorney involvement, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Goldstein Hayes Trial Lawyers has established itself as one of Georgia's leading trial law firms for catastrophic injury and wrongful death litigation.

As former criminal prosecutors, our lawyers bring substantial courtroom and litigation experience to every case we handle. We advocate for our clients during settlement negotiations and, when necessary, in court. Our firm approaches each matter with preparation, determination, and a focus on pursuing meaningful results for the people we represent.

We understand that a serious injury can affect every aspect of a person’s life.

We also believe the civil justice system plays an important role in holding negligent parties accountable. Throughout the legal process, we work closely with our clients, provide regular updates, and help them make informed decisions about their cases.

Our firm handles injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means clients do not pay attorney’s fees unless compensation is recovered on their behalf.
