Vanessa Francois

A Lifeline During a Complex Product Liability Case

When my small manufacturing company was unexpectedly named in a major product liability lawsuit, I was overwhelmed. The allegations were serious, and the potential financial impact was devastating. I needed an attorney who was not only a skilled litigator but who understood the intricate details of defending manufacturers. That's when I was referred to Vanessa Francois at Marsh Atkinson & Brantley. From our first meeting in her Atlanta office, her command of the subject matter was evident. She clearly leveraged her deep knowledge in product liability defense, a focus underscored by her recognition from Best Lawyers, to immediately dissect the core weaknesses in the plaintiff's claim. Vanessa was strategic, patient in explaining every legal nuance to me, and fiercely protective of my business's reputation. She guided us through a rigorous discovery process and her negotiations were masterful, ultimately securing a dismissal before trial. While her formal experience is building, her preparation and the formidable resources of her firm made her an absolute powerhouse. Vanessa didn't just handle a case; she provided clarity and confidence during a period of immense stress, and she delivered an outstanding result. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any business facing similar litigation.
