A couple of months after the loss of my beautiful wife, I started down the path of finding a lawyer who I felt would fight for her life alongside me. I wanted somebody who wouldn’t push me to the easy way out, but would understand my objectives and stand by me until the very end. A lawyer who was willing to go to trial with me, for me, for my girls, and ultimately in defense of my wife. I wanted a lawyer who would listen to all the great things about my wife and know that this fight was worth more than a quick settlement. I didn’t find just one lawyer. I found two - Stephen and Lindsay. Over the course of our three year case, there wasn’t one time I felt uneasy about their guidance or plan. When we reached the end of the case, we stood victorious in the fight for my wife.

I am so thankful for Stephen and Lindsay. Thankful for their support. Thankful for their expertise. Thankful for their willingness to fight to the very end. Thankful they didn’t give up. Thankful for all the love they showed me, my wife and my girls.

I couldn’t recommend Stephen, Lindsay, Beth and the entire Chance, Forlines, Carter & King firm more.

Every day I thank God for the blessing of putting me in touch with the Chance, Forlines, Carter & King, P.C. Law Firm. I will never forget July 17, 2023, the day I spoke to Cathy. She was so patient and kind and took the time to listen to my story of pure pain and grief of losing my son, Derrick. Within a few days, Mr. Chance, David, and Beth met with me & Kevin, Derrick's brother. They showed sincere empathy and compassion for our loss and gave us hope. I truly believe the entire team worked long and hard to attain a successful and positive outcome for the tragedy of losing my precious son. My family, Derrick's three children, Kevin, and I will be eternally grateful to Mr. Chance, David, Linsey, Beth, Cathy and the entire team.
I will love them forever!!

Great Attorneys who truly care about the people they are representing. We live in Florida but needed representation from Georgia for my brothers case and we had Lance Lourie and Lindsay as our attorneys and Beth as the paralegal. They handled his case with such care and understanding. They stayed in touch with us throughout the lawsuit and also handled this through the pandemic making it comfortable for us to handle things safely and confidentially. They truly went above & beyond and we won the case. I would definately recommend this law firm if you are in need of some truly caring, professional and understanding attorneys. We can never thank them enough for taking care of my brother.

This firm is THE BEST! I interviewed 2 firms before going with them. I chose them because of their knowledge, but also sensitivity to me & the issues I was dealing with. I was kept informed of the progress of my case throughout. If you think you have a medical malpractice situation, Watkins, Lourie, Roll & Chance, PC will get you the resolution & peace of mind you deserve!!

A few years ago, my grandfather was given another patients medication at a Columbus Georgia area rehab facility where he was being treated for a broken arm. He died as a result.

Our family was in shock. We had suddenly lost a beloved member of our family and wanted to understand what happened and then to hold the people involved responsible.

One of my grandfather's physicians was outraged at the medical malpractice and recommended that we contact attorney Neil Howard. Mr. Howard was able to discover that the medication was administered by a nurse contracted by a local staffing agency. Because there were multiple parties involved, Mr. Howard brought in attorney Stephen Chance from Watkins, Lourie, Roll and Chance in Atlanta. Together they filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the nursing home and the staffing agency.

Mr. Chance and his team handled the discovery requests and responses. He also did a tremendous job finding and interviewing expert witnesses who could explain to a jury how the medication administered to my grandfather affected him and caused his subsequent death.

As this case evolved over more than three years, I spoke with Mr. Howard and Mr. Chase frequently as they kept me updated on the status of the case. Whenever I had a question, I was always able to call and they always responded right away.

Mr. Howard was very patient with my family as they expressed their desire to see justice done. He very kindly helped us understand the limitations of civil cases and the potential outcomes we might expect.

A couple of months ago attorneys from the rehab facility requested that we attend mediation to potentially settle the case. Though we didn't initially want to settle, I was hopeful that my family could be spared the emotional roller coaster of a trial. After being advised by Mr. Howard and Mr. Chance, I was able to talk to my family and reach a consensus about the value we would find agreeable.

At mediation, attorney Stephen Chance took the lead. He respectfully but forcefully presented our case to the opposing side. He also very tactfully presented video testimony from an expert witness that had not previously been shared. He and Mr. Howard explained ahead of time what their expectations were and what their negotiating strategy would be. After several hours of back and forth, we reached a settlement that our family found acceptable.

I highly recommend the law firm Watkins, Lourie, Roll and Chance. They handled our case perfectly and showed tremendous care and concern for my family along the way.

Medical Malpractice
Our family contacted Suzanne Fink with Watkins, Lourie, Roll & Chance. My dad received a unstageable bedsore while spending 3 days in a facility after suffering a stroke. Everyone in the office was so compassionate and understanding. They were professional, persistent, and worked so hard on his case.
