The Atlanta Business Lawyer for Doctors & Med Practices
I'm Angie, the lawyer for docs. I help medical heroes create and grow fulfilling practices without burnout, overwhelm, and 'icky' lawyering.
Like you, I entered my profession to help people. But after practicing for more than 6 years, the burnout of a heavy case load, long hours, and inequities in the legal system made me question my love for the law. The burnout began to manifest in my body, leading to chronic fatigue, GI issues, and unfulfillment. I know first-hand what it feels like to sacrifice your well-being for your purpose, and I don't believe you have to live that way. I believe that medical professionals deserve to have fulfillment in both their passions and personal lives. I am on a mission to take the legal burden off of your plate, so you can take that vacation, finish that specialty CME, and prioritize your well-being.
what's the ick? &
how we're different
Nickle & Diming
Don't you hate it when you send an email to your lawyer, and receive a bill in six minute increments? Yeah, us too.
Inconsistent Communication & Ghosting
Have you ever hired a lawyer, but then you can only talk to support staff? Or worse yet, the lawyer ghosts you?
Confusing lawyer talk
Ever worked with a lawyer that explained your case in a way that you couldn't understand the strategy or why you were going down road A instead of B?
Hierarchies
Do you ever feel like your lawyer talks over your head? Or made you feel less-than? Insisted on being called by Attorney + last name?
Flat Fees
You know what you'll be charged at the beginning, so you can manage your business budget without surprise expenses.
Direct line to your lawyer partner + proactive comms
As a client, you'll have an easy-to-use portal for back-and-forth messaging. Plus, schedule a call with your lawyer via Calendly. We send calendar invites + text reminders. We overcommunicate here.
Legalese free explanations
You get straightforward explanations so you understand your options, and you can make an informed decision. We teach you the most important contract terms so you can be empowered in future deals.
A legal partner that gets your business.
You call us by our first names, because we believe in a partnership without hierarchies. We're here to help you, and we find that our clients appreciate less formalities and more collaboration.
How I traded burnout to build a Georgia healthcare compliance law firm that serves both you and me.
and how you can do it too.
I'm Angie, the lawyer for doctors. I help medical practice owners navigate the legal maze of Georgia healthcare compliance with ease.
I've represented individuals and businesses all over Georgia in breach of contract, eviction, and discrimination cases. I've filed and defended lawsuits against big corporations like Walmart, the federal government, and even Georgia agencies. I've helped my clients obtain six-figure settlement checks, and I've also voided unlawful contracts saving my clients over $500,000 in the last 8 years.
​
In my practice, I've also seen businesses file bankruptcy, business partnerships sour, and witnessed how surprise compliance audits have caused business owners to feel imprisoned by their passions. That’s why I built a law firm tailored just for you, where we implement proactive legal strategies to protect your hard-earned license and profits.
We get it – your time is valuable. Our collaborative approach means you'll be speaking directly with your lawyer, instead of being shuffled from one automated message to the next. We don’t believe in overpromising and underdelivering - we commit to regular updates and clear communication so that you can focus on what you do best - providing phenomenal patient care.

Post-research (about 15 hours of behind-the-scenes work), we draft your risk mitigation plan - a crucial element for protecting your license and practice. Then we'll send you the first draft of your contract(s). But we don't just stop there. We share with you a detailed Loom explainer video that makes it plain--why each clause was selected, how it helps your practice, and best practices to implement it. This ensures you're in the know at every step, enabling you to make informed decisions and become an empowered practice owner.

Why Medical Professionals in Atlanta Trust Us for Compliance Services
Protecting your medical license, your practice, and your ongoing commitment to exceptional patient care, all start with
Edmonds Law. Backed by Angie's extensive legal expertise and grounded in her deep understanding of service and
sacrifice, our firm offers the ultimate in concierge legal services, providing you with robust legal protection and expert
guidance.
​
Keeping up with continuously evolving compliance requirements and managing your medical practice can take a toll on your well-being and distract you from your mission to provide unparalleled patient care. We can help you navigate Georgia state and federal compliance issues.
​
In recent years, the Georgia Medical Board has disciplined 5x more providers than in previous years, raising the stakes and the stress levels for medical practitioners. In Georgia, medical malpractice cases, including those against PCPs, are on the rise with a record judgment of a staggering $75 million in 2024 alone.
​
We understand the pressures you face in protecting a license that has taken 12+ years of dedication and hundreds of thousands of dollars investment. That's why we are here to guard your practice against potential pitfalls and legal threats, allowing you to focus fully on your patients.
​
Our concierge legal services involve a small initial time investment of less than 20 minutes to complete a comprehensive intake. After that, sit back and trust in our promise to expertly handle your legal needs, from foolproof business set-ups to swift contract drafting that stands up to scrutiny.
​
Candidly, we're not cheap. We know that price shopping for a 'budget lawyer' can seem like the right move, but let me tell you why it's not. I have dozens of stories from clients I helped and (some I couldn't help) after they hired a lawyer to draft a contract for $500. Those $500 contracts turned out to be full of holes, gray areas, and outdated laws. The same can be said for digital product service providers, like Legal Zoom. The result: some of those clients ended up in Chapter 11 bankruptcy and others in litigation for 3 years with 6-figure attorney fee bills. In every scenario, it would have been cheaper for the client to invest in expertise on the front-end rather than rehab on the back-end. So I ask: would you rather pay $10K or $150K?
In addition to avoiding expensive lawsuits and fines, we work on a flat fee basis, ensuring no surprise expenses. Remember that the expertise of a lawyer can help you avoid costly lawsuits and penalties--like the MD that was fined $20K earlier this year for being out of compliance. Being a medical practice owner is hard--maybe you're juggling all the balls, and dropped a few important ones. Overwhelm leads to decreased effectiveness, and one way to stay in your zone of expertise and keep bringing that vital dedication to your patients is to delegate to us, your trusted business lawyer.

Answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Is Edmonds Law the right firm for me?
It depends. Edmonds Law is a boutique Georgia business law firm that provides a different type of attorney-client relationship--one without the ick. We believe that lawyering should not include runaway attorney fee bills, hierarchies, confusion, and poor communication. Instead, we provide flat fees, overcommunicate, and develop relationships with our clients to help them protect their businesses. Our clients have direct access to Angie, and she empowers her clients to make decisions that protect their profits and their peace. We understand that price is sometimes a determining factor when selecting a law firm, and we admit that we're not the cheapest option, but our flat fees reflect our time investment, expertise, and the value our clients receive from strategic legal counsel and 8 years of experience. We've encountered many clients who paid a few hundred dollars for a contract template, only to end up in court with a six figure bill because the contract didn't have adequate provisions to cover likely scenarios.
