Bassett, David B.

I was born and raised in Valdosta, Georgia. I have lived in South Georgia for my entire life except for a brief time that I spent in Athens, GA while attending law school. I have now practiced law for 24 years and over half my life.  My philosophy about the practice of law is that we cannot be every lawyer to every man for every problem. Because of this our firm specializes in three basic areas. I only provide legal services for injured workers seeking workers' compensation benefits in the South Georgia area and I handle all types of criminal cases from serious traffic offenses such as DUI and suspended license charges to more serious offenses such as drug charges, serious property crimes such as burglary, theft or damage to property, and crimes against other persons such as violent crimes, sex crimes and murder. I do not handle any other types of cases.  The belief in our firm is that we can best provide services to our clients if we spend our time specializing in a few areas of law and knowing those areas thoroughly and completely.

In criminal cases, a client's life and liberty are usually at stake. For this reason, those clients need specialized attention from a lawyer who knows the law and the parties involved so that the lawyer can most effectively help the client. I have practiced criminal defense law in South Georgia for over 20 years and have the knowledge and expertise to best help you through this process after your arrest or charge.

In workers' compensation cases, people who are unrepresented by an attorney are at an extreme disadvantage. The adjusters and lawyers on the opposite side of a case usually specialize in doing one thing and that is the defense of your claim and claims like yours. These people are not on your side and are not there to help you. The job of the opposing adjuster or lawyer is to get the insurance company out of the case as cheaply as possible. This means providing you with as little as possible. Our firm is dedicated to getting you all of the benefits you deserve including income benefits, permanent disability benefits and the appropriate medical care under the law.  Myself and Mr. Luke Closson have over 20 years experience each in getting our clients everything in which they are entitled under the law.

We hope you will place your trust in the skill and expertise in our firm and our areas of practice.
