Biography
Our law office was founded by attorney Carlos L. Corless, a native of Venezuela and longtime Atlanta-area resident. Since 1992, he has guided clients to positive outcomes in family law, workers' compensation and personal injury cases. He is bilingual and intimately familiar with the needs of the Latino communities in Georgia and the Southeast United States.
The Law Office of Carlos L. Corless — A History of Success
We bring steadfast and bold representation to jury trials, bench trials and other legal proceedings. Our willingness to take the necessary steps to overcome all challenges and get results has allowed us to obtain more than $20 million in verdicts and settlements in personal injury and workers' compensation cases. While less easy to quantify, we have established an impressive record of guiding family law clients to outcomes they are happy with, outcomes that take into account both short-term and long-term needs.
A Welcoming and Family-Friendly Environment
We understand that our clients are going through some of the most stressful situations they have ever encountered. Their lives are shaken by serious injuries or the loss of a loved one, or their family structures are being redefined because of a divorce. When you come to us, you will find that we are understanding and welcoming. We will make it clear that we are here to help you through your stressful situation as soon as possible.
