Malchow Johnson Injury Lawyers stands as one of Georgia and South Carolina's most respected personal injury practices, established in 1985 by attorneys who have built over 73 combined years of experience exclusively representing injured victims and their families. What distinguishes this firm is founding partner Leland M. Malchow's unique background as a former insurance defense attorney who spent nearly a decade defending medical malpractice, automobile, and personal injury claims for insurance companies before switching sides to represent injured plaintiffs exclusively. This insider knowledge of insurance company tactics and defense strategies provides invaluable insight that benefits every client, as Malchow understands exactly how insurance companies think and operate, enabling him to anticipate their moves and counter their strategies effectively. His exceptional credentials include graduating from Mercer University Walter F. George School of Law, admission to the Georgia Bar in 1985, and recognition as president of both the Augusta Bar Association and Georgia Young Lawyers.

The firm's exceptional approach to personal injury representation is exemplified by their substantial achievements including recognition by America's High Stakes Litigators for achieving one of the top 100 settlements in the United States stemming from a plant explosion and workers compensation claim.

The firm operates exclusively on a contingency fee basis ensuring access to high-quality legal representation regardless of financial circumstances, offers free consultations with comprehensive case evaluations, and maintains a track record of "big wins against large manufacturers" while also making clients whole after auto injuries.
