Abraham Lincoln advised a lawyer he was writing to in a letter that he should always think about the opportunities to be a peacemaker. And that applies fairly well in my practice, which is a combination of litigation and transactional work focused on trying to avoid unnecessary conflict and bringing parties together were possible.Hi, my name is Phillip Beggs. My practice at Moore Ingram Johnson & Steele is very broad. What I do is a combination of transactional work and litigation. I handle commercial real estate of all descriptions. I work on lease and negotiations often on the tenant's side. But handling landlord developments as well. We do regular commercial closings and I participate in all of that. I also handle a good variety of commercial litigation, often enforcing contracts. Construction contract is certainly a part of that. The broader, what we call business divorce work is part of what I do and for the last ten years or so in my practice. I've even branched out and been handling some fiduciary litigation in the probate courts here in Northwest Georgia.One of the things that makes Moore Ingram Johnson & Steele unique I believe is the location out in the suburbs in Marietta in Cobb County where we have tried to develop long-term relationships drilling well down into the business community in our county. We have clients that I've been working for for 20 plus years through multiple up and down cycles. As with any service organization, we try to provide good service and we try to be an adviser as opposed to just the transactional person solving an immediate problem. What I'm most passionate about in my life is of course my family, my wife and two daughters who keep me pretty busy as things go by. We spend a lot of time here in Northwest Georgia hiking and enjoying nature. And of course I love my bulldogs and I spend a lot of painful Saturdays in Athens dealing with them. I said earlier that what I aspire to be is an adviser. I'd like to hear what your situation is and what your legal need are, and then I think this firm can find someone to help you whatever situation you're facing.
