Attorney Profiles

Robert J. (“Rob”) Fleming is a partner in the firm of Katz & Fleming which is based in Atlanta, Georgia. He focuses his practice on dental malpractice, medical malpractice, personal injury and business litigation in the workforce. With over 150 years of combined experience, the firm has been handling all aspects of personal injury and negligence law for over 25 years.

Rob started his legal career working as an insurance defense lawyer as associate in the litigation section of Coats, Rose, Yale, Holm, Ryman & Lee in Houston, Texas. While at Coats Rose, he concentrated his practice on defending insurance companies, doctors and other professionals in malpractice litigation. He then joined an Atlanta, Georgia based litigation firm where he concentrated on litigating personal injury and asbestos lawsuits. In 2000, he made the decision to devote his energies to representing the victims of negligence and malpractice in the Atlanta area and Rob has focused on this representation ever since.

In 2001, in his first trial as lead counsel in a business litigation case, Rob obtained a $705,000.00 verdict on behalf of his client, a real estate agent who was denied earned commissions when she left the company she had worked for. In Rob’s first medical malpractice trial, he obtained a $5.5 million verdict on behalf of his client, who lost the sight in one of her eyes due to the failure of the defendant doctors to properly monitor her Coumadin levels upon discharge from the hospital after surgery. Rob has also successfully represented the founders of a small software company in a securities fraud business litigation case. Rob and co-counsel represented a company that developed and sold computer-based practice management systems to medical offices. The defendant corporation acquired the client company in a stock-for-stock exchange. Soon after the merger the stock of the acquiring company crashed and claims were filed against the acquiring company and its top management based on false and misleading statements made in the merger agreement. The case settled on the eve of trial for $3,250,000.00. In addition to these verdicts and settlement, Mr. Fleming has obtained a number of substantial recoveries for his clients in cases involving dental malpractice, medical malpractice, business litigation including commission disputes, wrongful death, pharmacy and medication errors, trucking accidents, car wrecks, DUI accidents, serious dog attacks, pedestrian accidents, motorcycle and electric scooter accidents, nursing home abuse, bicycle injuries, gold cart injuries, premises liability including negligent security and accidents at the Atlanta Airport, asbestos litigation, herniated disc injuries, products liability, bus and MARTA accidents, brain injuries, birth injury claims and many other types of cases that don’t fit into an easy classification.

Rob is AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell, has earned a perfect 10.0 AVVO rating and has been named a Georgia Super Lawyer by Thompson Reuters service over 10 years running. He is a past chairman of the board of the Atlanta Bar Association Lawyer Referral and Information Service Board of Trustees, has served as a mentor to new lawyers in Georgia and is currently involved as a facilitator in the #wordsmatter initiative for Law Day Summit 2019 to be held in Atlanta, Georgia. As a proud U.S. Army veteran, Rob is committed to helping our service veterans with access to the judicial system and to recovery for their injuries.

Brown Convention Center, Houston, Texas; Trial Advocacy, How to Deliver an Effective Closing Argument (Invited Speaker) for the Institute of Continuing Legal Education; How to Achieve Large Verdicts (Invited Speaker) to the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association; and Recent Developments in Medical Malpractice Law published in the Verdict Magazine. He is scheduled to speak in Savannah, Georgia later this year at the continuing legal education seminar.

"I spent four days in the hospital after two pit bulls attacked me while I was gardening in my yard. My injuries were severe. After the attack, I was hurting and scared. I was worried about the mounting medical bills and how I was going to pay them. My accountant referred me to Atlanta injury lawyer, Robert J. Fleming. Mr. Fleming was able to help me. He always took good care of me. I liked the way he used technology to keep me informed (scanning documents for me to see, e-mail updates, etc.). He is a smart and experienced lawyer who knows how to get things done. Honestly, I have nothing but good things to say about Robert J. Fleming and the Fleming Law Firm. They were able to help me recover a lot of money for my dog bite injuries and I think Mr. Fleming is a genuinely nice person."

"I sought legal help from Robert J. Fleming after having been hurt by a chiropractor. Mr. Fleming did all that he told me he would do. Once I hired him as my lawyer, he worked very hard on my case and he kept me informed on what was happening every step of the way. I am a hairdresser.

"Robert J. Fleming represented me in an auto accident case. I turned to him after another lawyer withdrew from my case because the insurance company would not settle. Robert J. Fleming took my case, filed suit, went to trial AND WON! While my case may not have been the biggest case he handled, Mr. Fleming worked extremely hard on my case. I had the pleasure of watching Mr. Fleming in the courtroom and I can honestly say that he could not have been more impressive. Not only did I recover the money for medical bills and pain and suffering that were asked for, we were awarded over $8,000 in attorneys\' fees, which I understand is very rare in Georgia. Robert J. Fleming is the best!"

"Due to the defendant\'s stalling tactics, my case took several months to come to trial, but Mr. Fleming was always willing to discuss my case and took a personal interest in every aspect of my suit. He explored every angle, which meant very much to me after other attorneys had dismissed my case as too much trouble to pursue. Unfortunately, the facts of my case are sealed, but I believe I am allowed to say that Mr. Fleming did win a substantial amount for my injuries. If you want someone who will hear you out and "go the extra mile" to win your case, Robert J. Fleming is your man. I highly recommend Mr. Fleming. It was always comforting to know that he was on the case."

"We are long haul truckers with 35 years of over-the-road experience. We hired Robert J. Fleming to handle a case involving a used truck we purchased in Georgia that had many hidden (and soon to be discovered) mechanical problems. Although Rob had to take a crash course in diesel mechanics, we obtained a fair settlement from the truck dealer and actually we are now on good terms with the dealer; even after the case was settled. Robert J. Fleming was able to accomplish a feat rarely seen--settling a case where both parties stay civil to each other. It speaks volumes for his calmness and logical mind. Since then, we have asked for his advice and opinion on another matter for which we have not hired him yet. Despite our anxiousness and worry, Robert has been very patient and reassuring and, additionally, has not charged us. We would definitely hire Robert J Fleming again based on our experience."

"Robert J. Fleming represented me in a medical malpractice case. Due to the doctor\'s not properly monitoring my coumadin therapy, I suffered a bleed and I lost vision in one of my eyes. Mr. Fleming tried the case before a jury in downtown Atlanta in the Fulton County Courthouse. It was such an intense experience to watch him try my case. It was a jury trial and it lasted almost two weeks. We received a multi-million dollar verdict. My husband Michael and I are so very grateful to have had Mr. Fleming representing us in the courtroom. I made a life-long friend and trusted advisor. There are so many good things to say about him. Rob is a top-notch Georgia injury lawyer: competent, thorough, remarkable, unbeatable, intelligent, personable, and easy to talk to. During the entire two week trial, Rob was prepared for every single question. He had a complete understanding of my injuries, how they occurred, the medical issues and the law. The defendants could not stump him, and believe me, they tried. He knew exactly what was going to happen and was prepared every step of the way. He changed my life."
