Lonnie Law LLC is a personal injury firm built on the belief that injured people deserve focused, personalized attention—not assembly‑line treatment. The firm’s mission is to provide compassionate guidance while pursuing the full measure of compensation clients may be legally entitled to seek after an accident.
Led by Attorney Lonnie Duong, Lonnie Law LLC takes a client‑first approach, emphasizing communication, accessibility, and thorough case preparation. Lonnie understands how disruptive an unexpected injury can be and is dedicated to standing up to large insurance companies that might try to undervalue legitimate claims.
The office is located in Brookhaven and serves the surrounding Atlanta area. This includes a working knowledge of local roads, businesses, and court practices that can help tailor the strategy in each case. Clients are encouraged to reach out with questions, and the firm strives to remain accessible throughout the life of a claim.

Brookhaven’s busy corridors, popular shopping districts, and proximity to major interstates create a concentrated mix of traffic and foot activity that can quickly lead to serious accidents if drivers or property owners are not careful.
Peachtree Road and the nearby I-85/I-285 interchanges experience constant congestion, frequent lane changes, and sudden braking, particularly during rush hour. These conditions often contribute to rear-end collisions and high-speed crashes when drivers misjudge merging traffic or become impatient in stop-and-go conditions.
Pedestrian risks are especially high around Town Brookhaven and along Peachtree Road, Dresden Drive, and nearby commercial corridors, where people are constantly walking between shops, restaurants, and parking lots. When impatient or distracted drivers fail to yield in crosswalks or watch for people exiting businesses, even a low-speed impact can cause life-changing injuries.
Buford Highway and I-285 carry heavy commercial truck traffic every day, moving through tight interchanges and crowded lanes. When large trucks speed, follow too closely, or are not properly maintained, collisions with smaller vehicles can result in catastrophic injuries that often require a detailed investigation into company policies and federal safety compliance.
Brookhaven’s growing trail network and bike-friendly initiatives still intersect with high-traffic roads like Ashford Dunwoody Road and Dresden Drive, where cyclists must share lanes with cars, trucks, and rideshares. Drivers who pass too closely, fail to signal turns, or overlook cyclists in blind spots can cause severe crashes that disproportionately harm riders.
Slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall incidents frequently occur in Brookhaven’s busy restaurants, retail centers, and upscale apartment communities, where constant use can quickly create hazards. Wet floors, uneven pavement, loose handrails, or poor lighting in common areas can expose visitors to serious injuries when property owners do not promptly correct dangerous conditions.
Given Brookhaven’s proximity to Buckhead and intown Atlanta, rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are widely used for commuting, dining, and nightlife. Collisions involving rideshare vehicles can be especially complex, as insurance coverage may depend on whether the driver was logged into the app, en route to a pickup, or transporting a passenger at the time of the crash.
In Brookhaven’s family-friendly neighborhoods and busy parks, dog bites and animal attacks can result in significant injuries when owners neglect to leash their pets or overlook signs of aggression. These incidents often occur in shared spaces where community members and pets interact closely, highlighting the importance of responsible ownership and awareness.

The legal process can seem confusing and intimidating, especially when you’re recovering from an injury. We believe in making it as clear and stress-free as possible. While every case is unique, here is a general overview of how we approach each claim, designed to put you at ease and keep you informed every step of the way.
If possible move yourself and your vehicle to a safe area away from traffic – a nearby parking lot or side street off Buford Highway or Peachtree Road works well – and call 911 immediately so Brookhaven Police and emergency medical services can respond. When speaking with the responding officer ask for their name badge number and especially the case or incident number as that is the most important detail to have later for insurance and documentation purposes.
Even if you feel fine at the scene some injuries may not appear until hours or days after an accident. Many people find it helpful to be evaluated promptly at a nearby facility such as Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital or a local urgent care clinic. A prompt medical evaluation can create a clear record connecting any symptoms to the accident.
If it is safe take photos or video of the scene including vehicle positions skid marks traffic signals and road conditions on streets such as Buford Highway Peachtree Road or Ashford Dunwoody Road. Nearby landmarks or business signs such as those around Town Brookhaven can help pinpoint the exact location which may be useful later for obtaining camera footage or witness information. Collect names phone numbers driver’s license numbers and insurance details from every driver involved and politely ask any witnesses for their contact information before they leave.
When the at-fault party’s insurance company calls you can consider declining to give a recorded statement until you have spoken with an attorney. Many people find it helpful to simply provide basic contact information and claim numbers while avoiding detailed discussions about injuries or fault at that early stage.
Many people find it helpful to speak with a local attorney before making major decisions about their claim. Contacting Lonnie Law LLC for a free consultation can give you a better understanding of the process your options and the next steps you might consider before dealing further with insurance adjusters.
Consider keeping a written or digital log of how your injuries are affecting your daily life in Brookhaven such as difficulty commuting on I-285 caring for family members or visiting local shops and parks. Save all medical bills receipts prescription records and correspondence from insurers as these documents may be important later.
Choosing a local Brookhaven personal injury lawyer can offer meaningful advantages over working with a distant, high-volume firm. A local practice may better understand how accidents in Brookhaven actually happen and how DeKalb County courts tend to handle these cases, which can translate into more tailored guidance and strategy for injured residents.

A Brookhaven-focused attorney may be closely familiar with the judges, clerks, and procedures in the State and Superior Courts of DeKalb County. This local insight can make scheduling, filings, and hearings more efficient and predictable. Many people find it helpful to work with someone who understands how particular courtrooms operate and can anticipate practical issues before they arise.

Local attorneys often encounter the same insurance defense firms and lawyers who regularly handle claims arising from accidents in and around Brookhaven. This familiarity can help anticipate common negotiation tactics, settlement ranges, and litigation strategies. It’s important to have counsel who might recognize when an insurer is minimizing your claim and can respond proactively.

A Brookhaven-area lawyer may maintain relationships with nearby medical providers, accident reconstruction experts, and investigators who know the local roads, intersections, and businesses. These professionals can often respond quickly to document scenes, interview witnesses, and review medical issues. Consider how valuable it can be to have a team that understands local traffic patterns on Peachtree Road, Buford Highway, or I-85 when building your case.

Working with a neighborhood firm means partnering with someone who lives and works in the same community. Lonnie Law LLC’s reputation may depend on the results achieved for Brookhaven residents and their families. This community connection can motivate the firm to invest time, attention, and care into every case, with a focus on obtaining the best outcome that might be available under the circumstances.
Lonnie was extremely helpful throughout my case. She was professional and easy to work with, and she made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Annette, the paralegal, was also great and always responded quickly. I truly appreciate the good communication and support from both of them and highly recommend their services.

I was referred to Lonnie Law to help settle an auto accident I was involved with earlier this year. It was my first time needing an attorney. Having Lonnie work so hard on my behalf and Leona, my case manager, keeping me updated every step of the way made the entire experience the least stressful part of my whole ordeal. They truly advocate for their clients and do their very best to get you what you deserve. I am forever grateful for them both. I hope I’m not in a position to need them again but in case I do I’ll always keep them in mind.

Many personal injury cases arising from incidents in Brookhaven may be filed in the State Court of DeKalb County or the Superior Court of DeKalb County, depending on factors such as the amount in controversy and the issues involved.
Georgia’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury. Because deadlines can be strictly enforced, it’s important to consider speaking with an attorney as soon as possible to understand what time limits might apply.
Crashes on major corridors such as Buford Highway or Peachtree Road can involve complex traffic patterns, multiple vehicles, and sometimes overlapping jurisdictions. A local attorney’s familiarity with these roads may help in quickly gathering evidence such as police reports, nearby business footage, or eyewitness accounts.
Many personal injury claims are resolved through negotiation and settlement without a trial. However, if a fair resolution cannot be reached, your case could proceed to litigation in DeKalb County courts. Many people find it helpful to discuss both possibilities with an attorney before deciding how to move forward.
Depending on the facts, you could pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and property damage. The potential value of any claim may vary based on injury severity, recovery time, and available insurance coverage.
Lonnie Law LLC works on a contingency fee basis, which means attorney’s fees are typically collected as a percentage of any recovery. You generally would not owe attorney’s fees if there is no financial recovery, though case‑specific costs may still apply.
Incidents at places such as Town Brookhaven may fall under premises liability law. An attorney can investigate whether a property owner or manager might have failed to address hazards like spills, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting, which could support a claim if that negligence contributed to your injury.
Yes, many Brookhaven accidents involve visitors, commercial vehicles, or companies based outside Georgia. Jurisdiction may still be proper in DeKalb County if the incident occurred here, and a local firm can help you understand how those out‑of‑state elements might affect your claim.
