The Legal Lens

by Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys The holiday season sparks a burst of creativity. New marketing campaigns, pop-up sales, and online promotions flood the market.

By Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys As the year winds down, many business owners and professionals find themselves caught up in holiday plans and year-end celebrations.

Instead, they grow from missing contracts, unclear agreements, or unpaid invoices that everyone assumes will resolve themselves. Before the calendar flips to Janua

By Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys Most people think the holiday season is the worst time to consider divorce. The idea of planning a separation during December, a month filled with celebrations and family gatherings, seems counterintuitive. Yet, December often becomes the quiet month when many begin to prepare for divorce. This timing is not about creating conflict but about making thoughtful decisions that shape the next year’s finances, parenting arrangements, and personal

by Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys The holiday season can bring joy and warmth, but for parents navigating custody arrangements, it often adds layers of stress and uncertainty.

by Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys Verbal agreements often seem straightforward and convenient, especially in fast-moving business environments or personal dealings.

by Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys When you sign an influencer agreement, it feels like you’ve got your brand covered. After all, the contract spells out what you can and cannot do with a brand’s products or services. But here’s the truth: an influencer agreement alone does not protect your brand identity. If you want to build a lasting presence and keep control over your name, logo, or catchphrases, you need trademark protection. This post explains why trademarks matter for

By Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys Parenting after separation is rarely simple. Add different communication styles, unresolved emotions, or a history of conflict, and co-parenting can feel less like cooperation and more like crisis management. But structure and planning can reduce a lot of that tension. “Custody without chaos” doesn’t mean both parents see everything the same way. It means the children don’t have to absorb the conflict. Here are some practical ways to navigat

by Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys For many families, Thanksgiving marks the beginning of a joyful (and sometimes chaotic) holiday season. But for co-parents, it can also bring an entirely different question to the table: Who gets the turkey this year? Holiday parenting schedules don’t have to feel like a seasonal tug-of-war. With a little planning — and a clear understanding of Georgia custody law — families can create a holiday schedule that protects stability for the child

A memorable name, logo, or slogan can be the difference between getting lost in the scroll and building a loyal following that buys what you sell.

By Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys Workplace lies can jeopardize your career, reputation, and financial stability.

By Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys Online reviews are a powerful force for Georgia businesses. A single negative review can influence customers, revenue, and reputation. While most reviews are protected speech, some reviewers cross the line from expressing an opinion into making false, harmful statements. When that happens, Georgia law allows business owners to take action. This article explains when a bad review becomes legally actionable defamation under Georgia law and wha

By Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys When most people think of defamation lawsuits, they picture headlines involving celebrities, media networks, or billion-dollar verdicts. But here’s the truth: ordinary people win defamation cases every single day—and sometimes the stakes are even higher for them than for public figures. Whether the harm comes from a false accusation, a damaging social media post, or lies spread at work or in the community, defamation can destroy reputations,

By Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys As TikTok faces mounting legal scrutiny over the design and impact of its algorithm, courts are being forced to grapple with a new question: How do you litigate a system that thinks, learns, and adjusts itself using data most users never see? The answer is reshaping modern discovery — and it has implications far beyond the world of social media.

By Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys The courtroom and the algorithm may seem like worlds apart — one rooted in precedent, the other in code. Yet, in 2025, they’ve collided in a series of lawsuits against TikTok that are forcing judges, lawyers, and everyday businesses to rethink what accountability looks like in the digital age. From claims of psychological harm to accusations that the platform’s addictive design targets vulnerable users, the TikTok litigation wave is more tha

When you hire a contractor, you expect the work to be done right — safely, professionally, and up to code.
