At Franklin Law, we stand at the forefront of complex civil litigation. Founder Rebecca Franklin Harris and her team take on industry giants and secure landmark victories for clients throughout the state of Georgia and across the country. Built by Rebecca and later joined by her late father, James “Jimmy” Franklin, our firm carries forward a legacy of legal excellence.
Our approach combines a sophisticated litigation strategy with unwavering advocacy. We know behind every case lies a story of profound impact on individuals and families. This understanding steers our commitment to tackle even the most complex cases with technical excellence as well as genuine compassion.
As co-lead counsel in Georgia’s opioid litigation, our team helped secure over $1 billion in settlements against pharmaceutical companies. Our work against other major corporations – including automotive manufacturers, railroad companies, entertainment production corporations, and predatory lending institutions – has resulted in substantial settlements.
