Anita M. Lamar, Atlanta personal injury attorney and founder of Lamar Law Office, LLC

Anita M. Lamar is the founder and managing attorney of Lamar Law Office, LLC — the Tucker, Georgia injury firm metro Atlanta knows as Atlanta LegalCare. She has built her career representing people hurt by someone else’s carelessness, handling car accident, commercial truck, wrongful death, and catastrophic injury claims for clients across Georgia.

Anita grew up in Atlanta and chose to practice at home. After earning her law degree and trying cases in Oklahoma, she returned to the community that raised her and opened the firm in Tucker. Her goal was to create a law office where clients speak directly with the attorney responsible for their case instead of being routed through a call center.

Professional Background and Experience

Anita founded Lamar Law Office, LLC in her hometown of Tucker after practicing personal injury law in Oklahoma. The firm has since filed more than 150 lawsuits and handled hundreds of personal injury claims for Georgians, ranging from rear-end collisions to complex commercial trucking and medical negligence cases.

Her approach is straightforward: she prepares every claim as though it will be tried. That posture changes how insurance carriers respond during negotiations, and when a carrier refuses to offer a fair number, she does not settle out of fear of the courtroom. That willingness to litigate is the foundation of the firm’s Legalcare™ standard — exceptional representation delivered with genuine client care.

Education and Bar Admissions

Anita is a proud native of Atlanta. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of West Georgia on a full scholarship, competing on UWG’s nationally ranked debate team against future lawyers from Ivy League and other elite academic institutions.

She earned her Juris Doctor from Oklahoma City University School of Law on a merit scholarship, received several academic awards, and graduated in the top quarter of her class as one of only a few Black women in her graduating class. She is currently licensed to practice law in Georgia.

She also serves as a board member for Project 730, an organization working to remove barriers to sustainability for the homeless and underserved by providing food, personal care products, and a compassionate support network. In addition, Anita volunteers with the Georgia Legal Services Program, the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation, Meals on Wheels, and Habitat for Humanity.
