Poole Huffman

Poole Huffman is a dispute resolution law firm serving the metro Atlanta area, with business and real estate disputes at the center of its practice and a commercial collections practice alongside. It represents personal and business clients throughout Georgia, on both the plaintiff and the defense side, and says it concentrates on cases involving fraud, dishonesty, criminal and quasi-criminal conduct, and theft, whatever the underlying subject matter.

Practice areas listed include business litigation, real estate disputes, partnership and fiduciary disputes, creditor's rights and bankruptcy, emergency relief and injunctions, intellectual property, and trial practice and consulting. Intake runs in three steps: a same-business-day follow-up call to understand the situation, a case review in which attorneys evaluate the issue and identify strategies, and then an action plan with next steps and engagement terms.

The firm publishes specific results. Examples include a $477,000 jury verdict in DeKalb County for breach of a management agreement and lease, with a $3,000,000 counterclaim defeated; a settlement of about $500,000 on the day of trial in a slander of title, tortious interference, and trespass case; a verdict over $400,000 after an eight-day trial in a malicious prosecution case that included a full award of attorney fees; and a successful defense against four mechanic's liens that would have required a bond of more than $500,000 to discharge, resolved in under 60 days.

The firm is direct about fit. It says it is often retained where exposure is significant, a business entity is involved, fraud or fiduciary misconduct is alleged, or trial is realistic — and that it may not be right for small claims, consumer disputes with limited damages, routine contract review, basic transactional work, or matters where litigation costs would exceed the claim. Its published offices are in Tucker and Blairsville, Georgia, with a main number that differs from the one on file.
