One on One with Anita M. Lamar By Our Town Gwinnett Staff
Our Town Gwinnett (OTG): Please tell our readers a little about yourself. Anita M. Lamar (AML): I am a native of Atlanta. I went to North Atlanta High School and I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of West Georgia. I attended Oklahoma City University for law school. I have been practicing in personal injury law for over ten years, and I specialize in assisting Georgia residents who have been injured in motor vehicle collisions, slip and falls, dog bites, or assaults. I am the founder and owner of Lamar Law Office, LLC in Tucker, Georgia. (OTG): What do you want our readers to know about you? AML: I’d like the readers to know that I am dedicated to going above and beyond for our clients. Our firm slogan “We Care” is sincere. We truly enjoy developing lifelong relationships with our clients and helping them through the stressful situations that can result from accidents and injuries. (OTG): Who were your mentors and role models? AML: There have been some important people in my life that have left a lasting impression on me. I had a professor in law school who offered guidance and inspired confidence in me at a time when I needed reassurance. I had a clerkship while in law school, and the owner of that practice introduced me to personal injury law. He was a great example of charity. He was very active in his community and donated to several charities, which has inspired me to do the same. Lastly, I worked for a firm before I went out on my own as an associate attorney. The owner of that practice taught me so much about the practice of law and about how to properly run a practice. I am thankful to have crossed paths with such wonderful people. (OTG): Describe some of the struggles you’ve encountered and how you overcame them. AML: Starting my own practice came with plenty of challenges and setbacks. I just persevered, remained relentless, and refused to give up. If I have learned anything, it is that you can survive and get through anything. The key is simply not to give up. (OTG): What are your favorite things to do? AML: I am passionate about being a personal injury attorney, but I realize the importance of maintaining a work/life balance. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, and trying new restaurants. (OTG): What excites you? AML: I am excited about being in a position to mentor younger attorneys. I have had the pleasure of mentoring a few young women either as they began their journey into law school, or after they had recently become an attorney. It is exciting to help them and watch them grow as they navigate these new chapters in their lives. (OTG): How do you give back to your community? AML: Community service is very important to me. I grew up with humble beginnings and promised myself that after I became a licensed attorney, I would take every opportunity to give back to my community. Through my law practice, we sponsor a lot of wonderful charities including WellRoot Family Services, 10,000 Fearless, and local church programs. Every holiday season we also sponsor several families with Christmas gifts and Thanksgiving dinners. We are looking forward to events we have planned for later in 2022 including a back-to-school drive and teacher appreciation event. More information at https://www.atlantalegalcare.com/
