Hasty Pope Davies Trial Lawyers Build and Protect the Life You Want By Anna Teal Canton natives, Jon and Tom Pope grew up in the courtroom – quite literally. As sons of the well-respected Judge Marion Pope, they cherish childhood memories of roaming around, playing hide-and-seek in the historic Cherokee County Courthouse. Little did they know, their exposure to law and their father’s imitable example would set the stage for their future endeavors. The Pope family is known by many for their superior level of skill, talent, professionalism, and high ethical standards to get the job done. Today, they continue taking notes from their father’s legacy while growing their law firm, which recently expanded to include a new partner, Dustin Davies. Hence, their new name, Hasty Pope Davies. Hasty Pope Davies is a local boutique law firm that helps individuals and families whose lives have been impacted by injury or death. The firm specializes in cases involving serious personal injury, truck collisions, medical malpractice, and workers’ compensation. “Being born and raised in Canton, we love being in our hometown, but we also handle cases throughout Georgia and the Southeast. We are proud of our results and our efforts to help people at a higher level. In doing that, our philosophy is to treat clients like family. That makes our job easy. They always receive our best advice and best efforts,” says Jon. Wins for Deserving Clients “We feel it’s important to share our success, so potential clients have confidence in our abilities and know if they have a problem, they can rely on us,” says Tom. “Here are examples of cases where we went above and beyond for those in need.” Case #1 Hasty Pope Davies secured a settlement of $5 million for an 83-year-old woman rendered a paraplegic after a rear-end collision on I-575. Immediately after the collision, the client underwent emergency spine surgery and was hospitalized for 34 days. She spent approximately 3 months in an in-patient rehabilitation facility. As a result of her injuries, she requires 24-hour care and assistance for basic activities of life such as getting in and out of bed, bathing, dressing, and cooking. Before the collision, the client had an active life that involved hiking, traveling, and volunteering for nonprofit organizations. “The client told us her biggest fear was not having the ability to pay for the care she would require. We worked hard to achieve a result that will ensure her safety and comfort in the future,” says Jon. Case #2 Hasty Pope Davies also won a settlement for the liability policy limit of $6 million for a father and his stepson who were both permanently injured when they were struck by an out-of-control tractor trailer, which was being driven by someone who was not medically qualified to drive a tractor trailer. The father was blinded in his right eye and lost the use of his right leg, which ended his 30-year career as an electrician. His stepson suffered a fractured pelvis, fractured leg, fractured ankle and foot, rib fractures, and tears in both knees, leaving him with a permanent limp. This settlement ensures these gentlemen will be able to have the medical treatment and therapy needed for the remainder of their lives. In addition to these injury cases, their extensive reputation speaks for itself: $9 Million - Wrongful Death $6 Million - Tractor Trailer Crash $5 Million - Catastrophic Injury $2.8 Million - Medical Negligence (trial verdict) $2 Million - Wrongful Death $1.7 Million - Motor Vehicle Crash (trial verdict) $1.7 Million - Wrongful Death $1.65 Million - Commercial Bus Injury $1.3 Million - Spine Injury With Preexisting Condition $1 Million - Pedestrian Injury $1 Million - Defamation (trial verdict) Community Involvement The Hasty Pope Davies team has not only a passion for justice, but also a heart for their community. The firm is a longtime sponsor of Cherokee HS and Creekview HS athletics. This year, Hasty Pope Davies was proud to sponsor a scholarship through the Cherokee County Retired Educators Association, which will be awarded to a Cherokee County graduate who attends Reinhardt University as an education major. Last year, the firm launched a “Thankful November” campaign, during which the team worked with community leaders to discover opportunities to volunteer time and donate money to give back to county residents and organizations. During the pandemic, the firm provided meals from local restaurants to the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies to help struggling businesses and to support those working to keep our community safe.
