About Donald

I am a personal injury trial attorney, and I represent only people who have been hurt by the negligence of others. I founded Singleton Law Firm in 1999 after practicing in Georgia since 1990, and I keep the practice small on purpose: when you call, you talk to me, not a case manager, and I take on a limited number of cases so each one gets my attention. I served as co-counsel in Johnson v. MARTA, where a Fulton County jury returned a $25 million verdict and the court entered an $18.75 million judgment, the largest ever entered against MARTA. I was born in Atlanta and live in Sandy Springs with my wife, son and daughter. Please let me know how I can help.

Free consultation. We work on a contingency fee basis: you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
