A pair of Atlanta personal injury lawyers have clenched a $1.2 million jury verdict for an Atlanta plaintiff involved in a low-impact collision with a city bus.

Rafi Law Firm attorneys Michael Rafi and Chris Stokes credit their client’s seven-figure award in Fulton County Superior Court to creative trial tactics, including their creation of a “crash victim” job ad aimed at showing jurors “the million-dollar value” of the plaintiff’s permanent injuries.
