Atlanta law firm is opening office in Macon

An Atlanta law firm, Stewart, Seay & Felton Trial Attorneys, is opening an office in Macon.

The firm is officially opening its office Saturday at 2912 Vineville Ave., according to a release. The Macon office will be the firm’s first outside Atlanta.

It has handled some high-profile cases, including one involving a South Carolina man whose police shooting was captured on video, and a case involving a Florida man who died after stun-gun injuries from Georgia deputies.

The law firm specializes in catastrophic injury litigation, and it is led by partners Chris Stewart, Quinton Seay and Eugene Felton Jr. All three partners will spend time working out of the Macon office, and Felton will manage the Macon office.

Felton formerly served as a prosecutor in the Macon Judicial Circuit.

“When considering our expansion plans, opening an office in Macon was always at the top of our list,” Felton said in the release. “It was my home for so long and my experience here was always a source of pride for me professionally. But when considering the number of cases we already had coming from Macon, it made perfect sense for the firm to officially put down roots in the Macon area.”

The firm has five attorneys and 10 other employees. For more information, go to www.ssfjustice.com.
