Early Thanksgiving at Homeless Shelter
A homeless shelter isn't the typical venue for legal consultations unless you work for Lanier Law Group, P.A. The law practice has been interested in helping the homeless. On a typical week, attorneys with the firm stop in to help qualifying people apply for disability.
Bone Marrow Donor
In the winter of 2009, Lanier Law Group, P.A. employee Reuben Proctor was at a blood drive put on by the American Red Cross. Reuben saw a booth set up for a program called Be The Match. He looked into it and saw that it was a registry for people to be bone marrow donors. He saw that one in 500 people on the registry go on to donate bone marrow. He signed up by doing a cheek swab, and giving them his contact information, and thought, “What’s the chance I’ll actually get called to donate?”
In March 2014, Reuben got an email letting him know that he was a possible match for someone who needed a transplant and wanting to know if he was still interested. Reuben contacted the National Marrow Donor Program and told them he was still interested in donating. After doing some additional screening, he was identified as a perfect match for a young child who had a very serious illness, with a very small life expectancy if a transplant was not received.
Ronnie & Phyllis Get Hitched
Ronnie Poteat sat in the corner by the wall of windows Tuesday, wearing a borrowed suit, borrowed tasseled shoes and a red rose pinned to his lapel.
He had just gotten married to Phyllis Foust, a woman he had defended, helped, fed and lived with for more than 30 years. They had talked about marriage forever, but they never went through with it until Tuesday.
A local law firm that has helped Ronnie and Phyllis also found a dress, a veil, a dark suit and two places that agreed to cut and style the couple’s hair for free. The law firm got the rings, too.
Jacob Goad
Paralegal/Case Manager Jacob Goad takes time out of his busy work schedule to give back to the community. He recently led a team to Peru to build houses as part of the Global Builder's Program for the Fuller Center for Housing. They helped to build three houses in Cañete, Peru. Jacob is also leading a team to the Dominican Republic the first week in March to engage in a cross-cultural arts & cuisine trip. He will be trading recipes with Dominican families and preparing dishes from American and Dominican traditions. They will also be making music together and holding a concert at the end of the trip. The main goal of his trip is to foster intercultural understanding and awareness through arts and cuisine. The purpose is to expose participants to foreign African cultures to promote racial equality and further appreciation for diversity in our own community.
St. Baldrick's Foundation
For the third year in a row, Lanier Law Group, P.A. is donating money to sponsor our Litigation Paralegal Rachelle Messer's husband, Logan, as he shaves his head to help raise money for the St. Baldrick's Foundation. St. Baldrick's is a charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers. Since its inception in 2000, more than 189,660 volunteers, including more than 17,000 women, have shaved their heads in solidarity with children with cancer at events in every state. These "shavees" have helped to raise over $117 million for life-saving research.

There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it's interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don't have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.

I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!

Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
