Services
Founding attorney Courtney Lerch was raised in Savannah, so when it was time for her to start her professional career as an attorney, Georgia was her first choice. By founding her law office, The Lerch Law Firm, in Savannah, she feels that she is able to give back to the communities in Coastal Georgia that gave her so much over the years.
Courtney Lerch attended the University of Georgia and Mississippi College School of Law where she earned her Juris Doctorate degree in 2007. During law school, she earned a prestigious internship with Federal District Court Judge James J. Brady in the Middle District of Louisiana in Baton Rouge. After interning in the federal system, Courtney then interned with Judge Virginia Carlton of the Mississippi Court of Appeals.
Jenna Clark graduated from Georgia Southern University with a Bachelor's degree in Law in Society in 2014, and is currently enrolled at Georgia College and State University where she is working towards a Master's degree in Criminal Justice. While attending college, Jenna worked with professors on independent studies that focused on wrongful conviction.
I'm originally from Northern Ireland, and have lived in the United States for 23 years, the weather is so much better! I have been working for the Lerch Law firm for 2 years because my boss bribed me with a pretty new I-Phone to come work for her. But seriously, I have loved every second of it! I love talking to people and helping them any way that I can.
Being arrested is, in many cases, an unexpected and alarming experience. Following an arrest or accusation, the anxiety about what happens next can feel overwhelming. Rest assured that you do not have to go through this alone. You are entitled to legal counsel no matter how serious the charges. At The Lerch Law Firm, you will find experienced Savannah defense lawyers who have over a decade of experience handling cases.

I know Courtney professionally and have worked with her for many years. When I needed Courtney's services and called her, Courtney helped me that same day and made sure that my situation was handled by her amazing team. Amber went with me to court, and I was in and out in about 15 minutes. I definitely recommend The Lerch Law Firm for all of your legal needs. And another thing, GO DAWGS!!!

Attorneys Courtney Lerch and Amber Seymour both helped me through a tough time after I got into some trouble with the law. I would not recommend anyone else for grade A quality, responsive, caring, knowledgeable and confident representation. Not only did Mrs. Lerch and Ms. Seymour help me throughout my case but also the rest of the team at the Lerch law firm to include Tessa and Jenna. I am so glad I was recommended to contact Lerch law firm to represent me. If there were more than five stars I could give for a review I would! Highly recommend. Mrs. Lerch and Ms. Seymour will work hard to get you

Thankful to have found Ms. Lerch in such a short notice. My stepdad have a speeding ticket and driving without a license and we do not live in Ga. We contacted them a few days before the hearing and she was able to take our case. She was able to close the case for us! Thank you so much to you and Courtney. I missed their call and called back to find them being closed already and Courtney called me after hours to let me know they were able to close the case! Thank you so much once again!!!!!

If you are looking for a great attorney to help with your case,you have found her. She and her team handled my case beautifully. They were responsive any time I needed help and kept me informed every step of the way. She was able to get my case dismissed which is better than I ever imagined would happen. 100% would recommend

These guys are the best!
I had a couple of traffic tickets, including one for no insurance due to a mix up with my insurance provider. Courtney, Jenna, and the team at The Lerch Firm jumped on the case a couple of days later and started working with the municipal court and eventually had it transferred to State Court.
They kept on the case and got all charges dismissed. If you are ever in need of an attorney, don't hesitate to call them!!

First and foremost Ms Lerch has the most patience in the world, I def gave her a hard time during a case we hired her for due to impatience and expecting immediate answers but she was professional and def got us results we were looking for...we are extremely pleased and glad she was able to keep working with us and getting us through a huge hump on the case. She always responds to emails and is easily accessible via phone...we def appreciate all she has done and the patience she has had we me and my family.... thank you sooo much Ms Lerch!!!!
