About Us – Atlanta Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyer

Norman Sawyer

With more than 22 years of experience representing clients in personal injury matters, Norm offers a rare perspective. He has practiced on both sides of the courtroom, first as a defense attorney and now as a plaintiff’s lawyer. His years defending large corporations and insurance companies gave him extensive jury trial experience, far more than the average personal injury lawyer, and a deep understanding of how insurers evaluate, negotiate, and fight claims.

This experience makes Norm uniquely qualified to anticipate the strategies used by insurance companies and defense lawyers, giving his clients a powerful advantage in negotiations and at trial. He has represented individuals, corporations, and governmental entities in cases ranging from automobile collisions to mass torts, unsafe premises, and catastrophic injuries. His work has included clerking for two county judges early in his career, serving as staff counsel at two of the largest insurance companies in the United States, training Travelers Insurance’s municipal claim department on Georgia governmental liability, gaining specialized training in automobile and trucking accident litigation, and serving as a supervisory attorney at a large plaintiff’s firm.

At Sawyer Injury Law, Norm leverages this insider knowledge of insurance defense to deliver high-quality work and personal service to every client. He is licensed to practice law in both Georgia and Arizona and is committed to handling each case with the care it deserves, ensuring clients receive not only results but also respect and compassion throughout the process.

Clients describe Norm as approachable, organized, and deeply knowledgeable. He is known for being the lawyer who will actually speak with you, not push you off to a case manager.

You can reach Norm by calling 404-777-7890. Your consultation is free, and you will never pay a fee unless Sawyer Injury Law is successful in your case.
