Mike went to Furman University and then the University of Georgia School of Law. He serves on the Alumni Council at the UGA Law, mentors law students, and supports the advocacy program-a full-circle role, given that he graduated as the school’s most decorated mock trial and moot court competitors. Mike is also a frequent speaker at legal conferences and contributor to professional publications. He’s given presentations on trial advocacy, running a law firm, and social media at national events, with his next presentation being at the 2025 Lex Summit. He recently testified before the Georgia State House on tort reform. His writing on topics like opening statements and hearsay evidence is widely read and reflects his commitment to helping other lawyers improve their craft.

Alex Brown

Prior to joining Rafi Law Firm - Injury Lawyers, Alex worked for one of the largest personal injury firms in America, where he was responsible for tens of millions of dollars’ worth of verdicts and settlements on behalf of his clients. During this time, he tried numerous cases to verdict across Florida, from Palm Beach to the panhandle, obtaining successful results in trials involving automobile accidents, slip and falls, sexual assaults, waterslide accidents, and other premises liability cases. Even as a young lawyer, Alex was frequently asked to step in to assist other members of the firm with their cases at trial as well, typically to handle complex portions of the trial such as voir dire and cross-examination of the defendant’s hired expert witnesses. This skill level ultimately led to Alex being asked to serve as managing partner of the firm’s expansion into Alabama, overseeing the opening of three offices throughout the state before eventually returning to his home state of Georgia. Alex has represented clients in courtrooms across the southeast and has always prided himself on taking the difficult, complex cases that other attorneys may shy away from, with a particular focus on negligent security and commercial motor vehicle cases.
