Details
As a founding partner of The Mabrey Firm, P.C., John G. Mabrey is dedicated to representing the rights of people throughout the State of Georgia. He focuses his practice on handling personal injury law cases that involve medical malpractice.
After earning a Bachelor of Arts from Radford University in 1987, Mr. Mabrey attended the Mercer University Walter F. George School of Law, graduating with a Juris Doctor in 1990.
The consequences of medical malpractice can be lifelong. Having decades of experience in personal injury, Mr. Mabrey knows all too well the physical and emotional struggles clients face. He has committed his career to recovering compensation on behalf of victims of negligence, so that they can begin the recovery process.
Mr. Mabrey believes in establishing a relationship of trust with his clients to help carry them through the legal process. After reviewing the details of a case, Mr. Mabrey gathers any evidence needed to support his client's claim, including calling on expert witnesses to demonstrate how defendants strayed from medical standards. Time and again, he has secured multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for the injured.
For his many achievements, Mr. Mabrey has earned the highest rating possible of AV Preeminent* from Martindale-Hubbell; he has been selected for inclusion in the list of The Best Lawyers in America for every consecutive year since 2012; his law firm (The Mabrey Firm, P.C.) has been chosen as one of the Best Law Firms in America by U.S. News and World Report for every consecutive year since 2013; Georgia Trend Magazine has honored him as a Legal Elite; he has been named one of Georgia's Top Rated Lawyers; he was inducted into The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 Civil Plaintiff Trial Lawyers in 2019; invited to join the American Institute of Trial Lawyers Litigator of the Year 2020- Personal Injury Section; and he holds an Avvo "Superb" rating.
Admitted to the State Bar of Georgia in 1990, Mr. Mabrey is active with several legal organizations, including the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, the American Association for Justice, the Lawyers Club of Atlanta, the Atlanta Bar Association and the Southern Trial Lawyers Association. He is also board-certified by the American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys. He is admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States; the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit; and the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Middle and Southern Districts of Georgia.
