Twenty Years of Extraordinary Results.

The Pate Law Firm has two decades of experience helping people successfully resolve difficult criminal and civil cases in Georgia and many other states.

While our firm primarily focuses on criminal defense and constitutional law, we also represent clients in complex civil litigation, and help whistleblowers recover substantial monetary awards for reporting fraud against the government.

Page Pate and Jess Johnson have a well-earned reputation for winning criminal and civil trials through experience, dedication and hard work. In fact, you will not find lawyers anywhere in Georgia with more recent successful results, better credentials, or a deeper commitment to pursuing justice for people who need our help.
