A Modern Firm.
A Proven Track Record.

Sumner Deere was founded by two accomplished Atlanta litigators who share a single conviction: that defendants deserve aggressive, sophisticated legal representation delivered with transparency and care.

We defend healthcare professionals, businesses, and individuals against the full spectrum of liability claims, providing the same quality of representation in every case, every time.
