Lee Hicks began practicing law in 2002 at McClure, Ramsay, Dickerson, and Escoe, LLP in Toccoa. He defended insurance companies and their insureds in suits brought by people hurt because of negligent conduct. Lee became a partner there in 2006, and participated in over twenty-five jury trials and handled more than fifteen cases on appeal, all in both state and federal courts.
In 2009, Lee decided to start representing plaintiffs (or those injured by negligent conduct) and moved his practice to Hartwell and formed Moore & Hicks, P.C. There, he began representing victims of negligence in automobile wrecks, premises liability, medical malpractice, and dog bite cases. During his time in Hartwell, Lee recovered more than $12 million for clients who were seriously injured by negligent conduct.

Were you seriously injured due to someone's negligent driving? Were you in a car or a trucking wreck? If you have been seriously injured, call me. I know how the bills can pile up and a job loss can threaten you financially. It's important to see a lawyer who specializes in personal injury. I spent over nine (9) years representing the insurance companies, and the last seven (7) years representing injured victims.
Imagine you are at a business establishment and slip and fall over a hazard, leaving you with a broken bone. It requires surgery, extensive therapy, and multiple trips to doctors. You are left with permanent pain. Come to find out the business knew about the hazard before your fall but failed to take any action or warn its customers.
In Georgia, medical malpractices must be proven with expert witness opinion. The expert also must be someone who has similar expertise as the doctor or hospital you want to sue. If you have been very seriously injured because of medical malpractice, you will need a lawyer who specializes in these cases.
Imagine your young daughter is bitten on the lip by an aggressive dog whose owner was negligent in controlling the dog. Your daughter now has a permanent scar, and you have a pile of medical bills. Or maybe an aggressive dog attacks you and breaks a bone in your leg. It requires surgery, leaves a scar, and your medical bills have piled up.
Every case is different. Most injury claims are settled without having to file a lawsuit. However, some cannot be settled, and we have to file suit. Filing suit means the process will take longer. Just to give you an idea (and this is only an estimated range), cases that don't require suit to be filed and and can be resolved quickly usually take 3-6 months.

One of the great things about living in Toccoa is that we get the small-town feel while still being close enough to the city when we need it, but dang it do we hate having to make that drive! Thank goodness we have such a dedicated and talented personal injury lawyer like Lee Hicks. He brings the big-city-level talent right here to Toccoa and we don't have to drive all the way down to Atlanta to get amazing representation for a car wreck! Thank you Lee for serving our community!

I have known Lee for a decade. We have worked alongside one another on a multitude of cases. He is a phenomenal advocate maximizing results for his clients. Yet, more importantly, he is just a good, good man. Honesty and integrity are instrumental in this profession and Lee not only possesses these virtues, he personifies them.

My husband and I were unsure of our next step after he and my stepson were hit by a drunk driver whose driver's license was suspended and was uninsured. We sat down with Lee and he explained what our next steps needed to be which took a big load off of our minds. We would highly recommend Lee and his team and would definitely use him in the future if needed.
