Michael W. Horst: Leading Injury Attorney in Alpharetta, GA
Michael W. Horst is a highly experienced personal injury attorney and managing partner at Horst Shewmaker, LLC—one of the premier injury law firms in Georgia. With an extensive background in both defense and plaintiff representation, Michael delivers unparalleled personal injury legal representation for clients seeking fair compensation.
Michael has been practicing law since 2001. For more than 14 years, Michael’s practice focused on representing companies and insurers in personal injury actions. His specialty was defending truck drivers, motor carriers, and their insurers. Michael enjoyed the legal work but the cases’ results often left him empty and unfulfilled.
“When I did my job well, an injured person’s recovery was limited or, in some cases, eliminated. I needed more from my profession.”
In 2015, Michael transformed his practice. Instead of representing companies and insurers, he changed to filing lawsuits against them. He now enjoys being part of the solution instead of one of the many obstacles standing between the injured person and just compensation.
“It is hard work for sure going up against billion dollar insurance companies but it is made easier by the fact I used to be one of their lawyers. I know their tactics, their strategies, and their ploys.”
