About Teri

“I practice personal injury law because navigating recovery for people who have been injured through no fault of their own is full of traps for the unwary.” Teri Fields knows that her clients are suffering after a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, and they need guidance to navigate the system. Victims of car accidents, negligent security, slip and fall incidents, and other injuries caused by another person’s negligence deserve compensation for their losses, but it takes significant work to get fair treatment from insurance companies. Teri finds true satisfaction in using her legal expertise and skill as a litigator to help clients gain the maximum recovery for their injuries. She also wants her clients to feel secure in the knowledge that she can help them deal with additional legal challenges associated with an accident, such as probate or conservatorship of a minor if someone passes away due to their injuries. “We really care about our clients,” she explains. “We want them to feel better first, and then we want to seek the recovery that they’re entitled to, to make them whole.” A lifelong resident of the Atlanta area, Teri earned her undergraduate degree from George State University and received her J.D. degree from Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham, Alabama. She honed her litigation skills and gained unparalleled insight into the legal system while serving as an Assistant Attorney General at the Georgia Department of Law. Then she moved into private practice to serve clients directly, working in both large, diverse firms and smaller boutique practices. She also served as an adjunct professor at Clayton State University. Now, at South Atlanta Injury Lawyers, she is able to put her broad base of experience to work for clients in an attentive, intimate, boutique legal practice that puts clients’ needs first. Teri enjoys handling all aspects of a case, from initial counseling and strategy to building a case through tactical discovery, presenting arguments in legal briefs and oral presentations, and if necessary, challenging a finding through the appeals process. Teri can sum up her practice by following their motto, “Love of Humanity and Justice for All.”
