Valdosta Law Firm Providing Wise Counsel and Aggressive Representation

Dedicated to our clients and community since 1960

With roots in Valdosta dating back to 1960, Bennett Law Firm, LLP enjoys a well-deserved reputation among our clients for our legal work, skills, and strategic representation. Our attorneys supply every case with the practical knowledge and skill they have gained from their more than 100 years of combined experience. Our goal is to establish and nurture long-term relationships with our clients by providing them with exceptional client care and result-oriented solutions.
At Bennett Law Firm, your peace of mind, growth, and success are our priorities. We are passionate lawyers who believe that every client deserves professional and reliable legal advice and representation. Senior Firm partner Mike S. Bennett, Sr. is distinguished among his peers for the professionalism and ethics he has exhibited over the last 40+ years in the practice of law, and these virtues have been passed down to his sons, Michael S. Bennett, Jr. and Jim T. Bennett.

Rooted in the community for three generations

Bennett Law Firm has served the Valdosta and South Georgia communities for six decades.
Jim T. Bennett, Jr. (1920-2006) founded the Firm in 1960. Mr. Bennett had a reputation for aggressively representing his clients’ interests and ensuring that their rights were protected. Mr. Bennett devoted a lifetime of service to his country and to his community. He was a veteran of World War II and the Korean War and retired as a Colonel in the United States Air Force Reserve in 1975. Mr. Bennett also served in the Georgia House of Representatives from 1966-1975. When Mr. Bennett retired from a very successful legal career in 1995, he left quite a legacy. Mr. Bennett’s son, Mike S. Bennett, Sr., joined the Firm in 1977. Mike’s son, Michael S. Bennett, Jr., joined the Firm in 1993. Mike’s other son, Jim T. Bennett, joined in 1998. Together, Mike and his sons are the managing partners of the Firm. Bennett Law Firm has the unique distinction of being the only three-generation law firm in the history of the State of Georgia to successfully present and argue a case before the Georgia Supreme Court. We have been presented with a certificate by the Georgia Supreme Court acknowledging this achievement.

    - C C. 4/30/2019
  • I called upon the Bennett Law Firm about a child custody matter. I was unable to use my attorney from an earlier custody matter due to a conflict of interest in my case. I believe firmly that everything happens for a reason and because of this, I was placed right where I needed to be. I have personally come to know Jim as my attorney and could not be more highly satisfied with his services. If your are looking to be represented in a professional manner and expect results, you have come to the right place. Any one from this law firm goes above and beyond of the expectations for their client.

    - Aaron Loggins. 5/11/2018
  • Kari Anne is a passionate and dedicated professional! I came to her with little hope regarding my situation. I was active duty stationed out of state and had to make some tough calls and work around my ever changing military schedule. Kari Anne not only got me what I wanted in my case but also went above and beyond my expectations. She made it all seem like I was there locally instead of halfway across the country. I cannot thank her enough and I definitely recommend her for child custody cases!

    - Penny Jefferson. 5/6/2018

    - Renesa Taylor. 6/17/2017
  • My case has been a long, overwhelming, and frustrating case. Bennett law firm has been absolutely amazing. Mr. Mike Bennett Sr. has handled my matter unbelievably, with no restraint. He has done everything in his power to assure my case was handled fairly and by law, which Supreme Court of Georgia ruled in our favor. He went beyond his call to make this happen for me. I am forever grateful and humbled for this. He is the absolute best attorney in the south. If you're looking for an aggressive, knowledgeable, and hard working firm, Bennett Law Firm is by far the best choice.
