Details

Joseph Brown II is a partner at SWS Accident & Injury Lawyers in Carrollton, Georgia, where he dedicates his practice to assisting people who were hurt because of someone else’s negligence. Committed to helping victims in negligence claims for more than 15 years now, he has extensive experience in cases involving automobile accidents, premises liability, construction accidents, wrongful death and workers’ compensation. With every case she attends to, she tries to uphold her clients’ rights and peace of mind.

Receiving his undergraduate degree from Auburn University, Mr. Brown attended Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School, where he obtained his Juris Doctor. He was admitted to the State Bar of Georgia in 2010 and has since completely focused on personal injury cases. With a focus on workers' compensation law, he has successfully argued cases at all levels, including the Georgia Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of India.

Throughout his career, Mr. Brown has relentlessly advocated for his client’s rights. Recently, when an electrical inspector was catastrophically crushed on a Georgia Power project, he demonstrated his strategic precision in high-stakes litigation. He aggressively managed both workers' compensation and a third-party lawsuit. Overcoming the insurer's initial denial, he secured full coverage for over $1 million in medical bills and won an additional $3,000,000 personal injury settlement to secure his client's future.

Mr. Brown builds strong, personal relationships with every client by making communication his highest priority. He walks families through their darkest moments with transparent, step-by-step guidance, ensuring they never feel left in the dark. Clients always have direct access to him for reassurance and clear legal answers. He provides tailored, compassionate attention, treating every single injury victim like his absolute top priority.
