Moore Ingram Johnson & Steele

My Name is Kevin Carlock, I'm a partner here at Moore Ingram Johnson & Steele. I've been an attorney here for about 20 years. My primary practice area is Workers Compensation Defense. I represent employers and insurers in all manner of claims and mostly insurance carriers and servicing agents. I also represent some un-insured employers as well. I think one of the things that makes our firm different is our responsiveness. We really try to get back to people as quickly as possible in response to a phone call or an email. The general philosophy has always been to respond within 24 hours. But I think most of us will really try to get back to anyone the day that we hear from them. The thing I'm most passionate about is my family. We enjoy spending time together whatever we're doing, whether it's doing things in Sandy Springs or going to sporting events. My general philosophy for claim handling stems from the idea that “uncertainty is the worst thing for an employer and sure to have.” So the idea is to get cla

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Life's most urgent and persistent question is what are you doing for others?" My name is Jere Smith. I'm a partner at Moore Ingram Johnson & Steele and I work in the commercial and construction litigation department. As a commercial and construction litigator, I handle a variety of different cases. My goal and my service to my clients, however, is to try everything that I can do to keep that client out of litigation. What I would prefer is that a client come to me or my other partners and attorneys at our office, work with them, learn how to cross their t's and dot their i's for a far less amount of attorney's fees than it would be to come to me and for actually have to file lawsuits and defend lawsuits which requires far more attorney's fees. I believe what makes Moore Ingram Johnson & Steele different and unique goes right back to the quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and that is it's about service. What are you doing for others? Our firm incorporates my own

“No question is stupid if you don’t know the answer.” Hello, my name is Matthew Howard. I am the senior partner of our tax department here at Moore Ingram Johnson & Steele. My practice comprises really first and foremost of heading up our tax department at MIJS. I graduated with a degree in law obviously, but also a master’s degree in tax so all I do in one form or another is taxation. I would say the three big areas are trust and estate work for clients, really all over the country, but primarily concentrated in Georgia. We do an awful lot of tax controversy work here at this firm where the Internal Revenue Service takes a position with either a corporation individual or partnership that we believe is unfair and untoward and not supportive by the law so we will help them and shepherd them through that entire process all the way through the administrative level at the Internal Revenue Service as well as US tax court if necessary. And the third area of our practice that I oversee is our captive insurance c

“Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow - the shadow is what we think of it, the tree is the real thing.” I’m Ryan Ingram. I am a partner at Moore Ingram Johnson & Steel. I practice liability defense work. I focus on premises liability, medical malpractice and all forms of business litigation. At Moore Ingram Johnson & Steel we treat all clients like family. We work as hard for you as we would for anyone else in our family. We are always looking to resolve disputes when possible but we’re always willing to take disputes all the way when necessary. When clients come to us they are always having a bad day. Anytime someone needs litigation support and litigation services, you are in some sort of dispute, and so we always try to be mindful of that and work hard to resolve those disputes when possible. My main passion is spending time with my family, that is why I love working at this firm. We have the resources and ability to go toe to toe with any other firm in Atlanta. But we are also outsi

My favorite quote is ‘suum cuique’ which is Latin for “to each his own.” And to me it means that I take every person that I met as an individual. I try to judge them as an individual whether it would be opposing counsel, my clients or even injured workers. Hi, I'm Harry Tear. I'm a partner at Moore Ingram Johnson and Steel in the Workers’ Compensation Department. I represent employers, insurers, third party administrators in workers’ compensation cases throughout the State of Georgia. So I help employers and insurance companies, self insured employers throughout the state who have workers’ compensation claims, they need legal assistance to determine compensability of claims, to determine if somebody is faking or to find a way to get that claim shut down as quickly as possible. Our firm is different because we place a great emphasis on personal relationships. Personal relationships with each other, my associates. But also the relationships we have with our clients, our insurance gestures, our claims mana

In choosing a friend, go a step up. Hello, I'm Robert Ingram. I'm a partner at Moore Ingram Johnson & Steele in the civil litigation practice group. I'm a partner in the commercial and insurance defense practice group. I'm a fourth generation Cobb Countian, grew up in Cobb County. My grandfather formed the land where Town Center Mall sits. My father was a county commissioner in Cobb County. I love Cobb County. Our firm is based in Marietta, although we have satellite offices throughout the South East. I focus on business litigation and insurance defense disputes. What makes our practice different is we treat people the way we want to be treated. We created this firm or we started this firm back in the mid-80s with a goal of recruiting high-quality lawyers from Atlanta who want to live and work in the suburbs and specialize and focus their practice in different areas. The practice of law are much like the practice of medicine has become more specialized through the years. We have found out that it's easier

I've been practicing law in Cobb County in Metro Atlanta for 13 years. I've left the firm I was with to start a new firm and we started on January 1, 1984. And I took with me 2 legal assistants and I told them at that time that I wasn't even sure we're able to pay them the first month, and they came anyway. And fortunately, we were able to pay them and me a little bit too. And we have never looked back since that time. My vision when I started this firm was that we would have a law firm based on the big firm concept downtown - that is have specialties in different areas. At the time that I started the firm, my primary clientele was real estate developers and banks. We came up with a, what we call a wheel concept. And the wheel concept means a developer client, for example, being the hub of that wheel and then those spokes the different legal needs that they would need. And the feedback I got from my clients is they want a place that was a one-stop shop. That they could bring their issues to us so we'd b
