Founding Attorney
After graduating from Emory University’s School of Law in 1980, Jim
Goldstein began working for a small law firm that represented the leading
banks and corporations on the south side of Atlanta. Jim’s capabilities
were quickly noticed, and he was made a partner in less than three years,
the fastest rise ever in the firm. After successfully defending Fulton
County and other entities in a series of wrongful death trials, Jim concluded
that his talents would be better utilized representing personal injury

Jim split from the firm in the mid 1980’s and founded what is now
Goldstein Hayes & Lina, LLC, an Atlanta law firm specifically focused on
catastrophic personal injury and
medical malpractice cases. While the name of the firm has changed from time to time, Jim has
been the senior, first-name partner in every practice he has been a part
of since 1986. He has been directly responsible for attaining a multitude of
multi-million-dollar recoveries upon which the reputation of the law firm is based
