PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY
MICHAEL LONATI SR.
Since 1996, I’ve dedicated my legal career exclusively to helping injured individuals through personal injury and workers’ compensation cases. Over the years, my team and I have successfully resolved thousands of claims, recovering millions of dollars on behalf of our clients. Our practice is rooted in personal service, attention to detail, and results that matter.
Before entering the legal field, I earned a B.S. from Northeast Missouri State University and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic College. I later went on to earn my Juris Doctor from Georgia State University College of Law. My unique background as both an attorney and a chiropractor gives me an in-depth understanding of the medical complexities that come with traumatic injuries. From interpreting medical records to understanding long-term treatment plans, I use this insight to maximize outcomes for my clients.
I’ve also served as a partner at Atlanta West Medical Center, working alongside a team of medical doctors to treat accident victims. To this day, I maintain an active chiropractic license and have been invited as a guest speaker at continuing education seminars for chiropractors, sharing guidance on how to navigate auto wreck cases within clinical practice.
When I’m not practicing law, I enjoy spending time outdoors—whether it's on the golf course, in a tree stand hunting, or out on the water fishing.
Whether you have been injured in an auto accident, motorcycle accident, trucking accident, injured on the job, or bitten by a dog, please call our office and let us help you!



PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY
MICHAEL LONATI JR.
The law has always been a part of my life. Long before earning my law degree, I worked alongside my father in his law office, doing everything from filing paperwork to helping where I can around the office. That early exposure sparked a passion for advocacy that still drives me today.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of people navigate their personal injury cases—most often victims of car wrecks, motorcycle collisions, and dog bites. My goal in every case is simple: to hold the irresponsible accountable for their actions and to fight for what my clients deserve.
I was born and raised in Lithia Springs, Georgia, and went on to play baseball at Reinhardt University in Waleska, Georgia, where I earned my degree in Business Administration in 2012. I later attended North Carolina Central University School of Law, graduating in 2015 with my Juris Doctor. While in law school, I earned a Pro Bono certificate from the North Carolina State Bar for my dedication to providing legal aid to underserved communities.
I’m licensed to practice in Georgia and in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. I’m also a Keenan Trial Institute Graduate and now serve as a faculty member, teaching the art and strategy of depositions. In recognition of my work, I’ve been honored as a National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 and earned an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell—an achievement that reflects the highest level of professional excellence.
Locally, I’ve stayed deeply involved in the legal community, having served as Secretary and then President of the Paulding County Bar Association from 2019 to 2022. I'm also proud to serve as a Deposition Professor at the Keenan Trial Institute, where I train trial attorneys in effective deposition techniques to strengthen their strategies in the courtroom.
Outside the office, I’m a devoted husband and proud father to two amazing kids. My family and I attend Cedarcrest Church, where our faith keeps us grounded and connected to the community we serve.
