Matt Coles and Tom Barton founded Coles Barton LLP in 2009 after spending the first 20-plus years of their careers with Smith, Gambrell & Russell, one of Atlanta’s leading full‑service business firms. Coles Barton was designed to provide high-quality legal services in a more cost efficient and responsive setting. The firm specializes in business and insurance-related litigation in a variety of state and federal courts around the country, as well as arbitrations and mediations before the American Arbitration Association, JAMS and other alternative dispute resolution forums.
