About R. Michael
R. Michael Coker built his legal foundation at the University of Georgia, where he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in 2007, and at Georgia State University College of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2010. He moved promptly from law school into practice, starting his career in 2010 at Eric J. Hertz, P.C. Those early years gave him courtroom time and experience handling client matters under real deadlines.
After joining the bar, Coker established professional ties that reflect a litigation path. He has been a member of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association since 2012. He also holds a current membership in The National Trial Lawyers’ Top 40 Under 40, a peer-based organization that recognizes trial lawyers in that age bracket. These affiliations signal a practice shaped by trial work and an interest in staying engaged with the trial lawyer community.
Coker’s practice is anchored in Gwinnett County. He operates under the name The Gwinnett Accident Lawyer: R. Michael Coker. The office handles accident-related matters and represents clients who seek recovery after collisions and similar incidents. He has experience managing cases from initial intake through settlement negotiations or trial. That work involves fact investigation, dealing with insurers, and preparing evidence for hearings.
Licensed in Georgia, Coker has maintained an active role in the state’s civil litigation scene since his admission around 2010. His membership in trial-focused groups complements the day-to-day demands of representing injured people. Peers and clients encounter him most often in county courthouses and in settlement discussions. He tends to emphasize clear communication with clients and practical steps to move cases forward, while preparing for the possibility of trial when a case requires it.
His office concentrates on accident cases arising from motor vehicle collisions and related incidents in Gwinnett County and surrounding areas. Coker balances case work and courtroom preparation with client consultations and outreach within the local legal community. He remains based in Gwinnett, where he manages a caseload that reflects the regional demand for legal help after accidents.
Coker is currently licensed to practice in Georgia and maintains his practice as The Gwinnett Accident Lawyer: R. Michael Coker, where he represents clients in accident and personal injury matters.
