A consummate professional who delivered a critical victory

Our mid-sized technology firm faced a complex, high-stakes lawsuit from a former executive alleging wrongful termination and discrimination. The potential financial and reputational damage was immense. From our first consultation, John Monroe demonstrated a command of Georgia employment law that was immediately reassuring. He didn't just recite statutes; he outlined a strategic defense based on his deep, two-decade experience handling exactly this type of management-side litigation. His recognition in Employment Law - Management and Litigation - Labor and Employment is clearly well-earned. John and his team at FordHarrison conducted a meticulous investigation, uncovering crucial documentation and witness testimony we had overlooked. His preparation was exhaustive, and his courtroom demeanor was both authoritative and composed, effectively dismantling the plaintiff's case. The result was a full dismissal on summary judgment, sparing us a costly and public trial. Beyond the legal win, John provided pragmatic counsel on revising our internal policies to prevent future issues. He is more than a litigator; he is a strategic partner. For any Georgia business navigating the treacherous waters of employment disputes, John L. Monroe, Jr. is the definitive choice.
