The Panusky Law Firm has gone through quite a few changes this year.

The Panusky Law Firm is now Panusky Law! We have updated our logo and our fresh new website will be launching soon!

We have also grown during the course of the year and are so exited to welcome Jessalyn Barrett as our new associate. Jessalyn brings a great deal of experience in both personal injury and criminal defense and a great legal mind to help our clients in all of our practice areas!

We are also thrilled to welcome Hannah Gordon as our legal assistant! Hannah is currently enrolled at the University of Georgia Paralegal program and just beginning her journey into the world of law, but she is already proving to be a talented, hard-working asset to our clients.

While these announcements are overdue, we are looking forward to the launching of the rebranded website where everyone can get to know our team better and learn more about all of the services we offer at Panusky Law, LC!
