About

Hall Booth Smith’s Athens office is located on College Avenue in the heart of downtown, just blocks from the edge of the campus of the University of Georgia.

We opened an office in Athens in 2003 to meet the complete legal needs of clients in eastern Georgia and across the region. Our Athens team of attorneys concentrate their practice in the areas of medical malpractice defense, health care litigation, aging services, transportation, business litigation and general liability. We also offer comprehensive legal representation on education and employment law matters.

Since we started HBS in 1989, we have steadily expanded the firm to add new specialty practice groups and locations that allow us to serve the evolving needs of our clients.
