Some harm cannot be undone with an apology. A false statement published online can cost you clients, a job, or a business you spent decades building. Pollution entering groundwater or released from a smokestack can threaten your family’s health and the value of your home. Evans Bowers is an Atlanta law firm that represents individuals, businesses, property owners, and communities across Georgia when the stakes are that high and the other side has the resources to fight.
Our defamation practice handles libel and slander claims for people and companies whose reputations have been damaged by false statements. That includes statements made in the press, on social media, and in online reviews. We help clients weigh their options, from demanding a retraction to filing suit, and we take cases to court when a reputation or a livelihood depends on it.
Our environmental practice enforces the laws meant to protect Georgia’s water, air, and land. We represent property owners and communities affected by environmental contamination, including water pollution, air pollution, soil contamination, and hazardous waste, and we bring claims under laws such as the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act. Our attorneys have worked on nationally significant pollution cases involving PFAS, coal ash, acid mine drainage, and industrial adhesives and sealants. Members of our team represented plaintiffs in some of the first civil environmental enforcement cases in the country to reach trial or settlement over coal ash and PFAS contamination, and we have successfully challenged environmental permits that failed to adequately protect the public. We also handle toxic tort claims, stormwater flooding disputes, land use and zoning matters, and regulatory compliance. Evans Bowers is recognized in the Chambers USA 2026 Spotlight guide for Environmental Law, and our lawyers speak regularly at law schools, at universities, and in the media on emerging environmental enforcement issues.
Businesses also turn to us for commercial litigation, including partnership disputes, breach of contract claims, business torts, and internal investigations. In addition, we represent survivors of childhood sexual abuse and sex trafficking in civil claims.
Evans Bowers is a small firm by design. We take on complex matters that call for careful preparation and individual attention, and the attorneys you meet are the attorneys who work on your case. Whether the opposing party is a media outlet, an online critic, or an industrial polluter, we build each case thoroughly and pursue our clients’ interests through negotiation, litigation, or trial. Our office is located at 729 Piedmont Ave NE in Atlanta, and we represent clients throughout Georgia. Call 404-850-6750 to speak with our team.
