My name is Ty Wilson and I've had a Solo practice in Northern Georgia (GA), specifically the Atlanta area, since 2004.

Almost 70% of my practice is devoted to Car Accidents, while Workers' Compensation and assisting individuals that have fallen on private property and suffered serious injuries are the remainder of my practice.

Many times my clients are in no condition to get into a car and drive to my office. In fact, most of the time their car is either not drivable or severely damaged due to the accident. Because of this, I will come to you. But if you prefer, you can schedule an office visit. I'll do whatever is necessary to work with you during this difficult time in your life.

One of my passions is writing. In 2007, I published my first book called "The Code" which was a quick reference guide to Georgia ciminal law. In 2008, I published the second edition which included not only criminal law but also Georgia traffic law as well. The Code has been widely acclaimed by prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, and law enforcement. Many people ask me how I came up with the idea to write this book and It all started from this experience: “Mr. Shah, are you sure that’s what the law says?” That was the first thing I heard out of the judge’s mouth when I started practicing criminal law. Standing behind the towering podium with an audience of people staring at me, all I could say was, “One moment, your honor, let me check.” I dashed back to the defense table where my client was looking up at me with distrust. I started sifting through the thousand-page volume of the Georgia criminal code book, along with the other thousand-page supplemental books that were crowded around the table. I was overwhelmed by the wealth of information and was struggling to quickly and succinctly make sense of it all. Five minutes later, disheveled and out of sorts, all I could muster was an incomplete and consequently, unconvincing answer. I vowed to never be stuck in such a compromising predicament again, so I created The Code. To see a sample chapter and the table of contents, please visit www.theGAcode.com.

DUSTIN W. HIGHTOWER grew up in Carroll County, Georgia where he graduated from Central High School (“CHS”) in 2000. While attending CHS, Dusty lettered in football, wrestling, and baseball. During Dusty’s senior year he served as captain of CHS’s football team along with his cousin Brian Maxwell (now a mechanical engineer at Southwire), and fellow classmate Josh Hubbard. Dusty also received the honor of representing his class as Homecoming King and Mr. CHS his senior year.

Upon graduating from CHS, Dusty attended the University of West Georgia (“UWG”) where he graduated cum laude. During Dusty’s time at UWG he was a member of the Chi Phi Fraternity, Beta Gamma Sigma Business Honors Society, Order of Omega Honors Society, University Ambassadors, Student Activities Council, Student Government Association, and the Inter Fraternity Council. Dusty particularly enjoyed the time that he served as President of Recruitment for the Inter Fraternity Council because he was allowed to plan the Greek recruitment process for UWG, and speak at orientation sessions on the importance of networking and how fraternities can assist members in establishing a solid networking foundation. Aside from his multiple on campus commitments Dusty managed to continuously make his grades a top priority. Dusty regularly made the National Deans List, was named an Ingram Scholar, and received the Spark’s Memorial medal (Chi Phi’s highest GPA award) three out of the four years he was in school. Dusty continues to be dedicated to UWG by currently serving on UWG’s National Alumni Association.

Shortly after graduating from UWG Dusty decided to attended law school. Dusty received his Doctor of Jurisprudence from John Marshall Law School of Atlanta. While in law school, Dusty was selected to serve as Notes and Comments Editor on John Marshall’s inaugural law review journal, John Marshall Law Journal. Dusty was honored by having his comment, Student Searches and Seizures: Georgia’s Current Approach and Recommended Change, chosen as one out of only four student pieces to be published. While in law school, Dusty was also a member of the American Constitutional Society and the Phi Alpha Delta Legal Fraternity.

Dusty did not only study the law while in law school, he also found ways to practice the law in his community. Under the Third Year Practice Act and the Graduate Act, Dusty returned to Carrollton and practiced law as a prosecutor beside Carroll County Solicitor Mr. Jimmy Tuggle. During his time in the Carroll County Solicitor’s Office, Dusty prosecuted DUI, theft, simple battery, and a variety of other criminal cases.

Dusty also became a certified mediator while in law school. Dusty put his mediation skills to work through an internship with the Fulton County Landlord/Tenant Program. During his time in this program, Dusty was able to mediate over 75 landlord/tenant disputes.

Dusty has now returned to his hometown area to practice law. Dusty is a hardworking, honest, dedicated, and driven individual that will work endlessly to provide you with the legal representation that you deserve. Dusty focuses most of his work on criminal defense where he is able to apply what he learned in the prosecutor’s office in a manner that is beneficial to his clients.
