For more than 20 years, I’ve represented people on both sides of Georgia workers’ compensation claims.
Now I’m bringing that experience to the middle of the table.

Why John
I’ve been on both sides of the table.
John Corbally has spent more than 20 years practicing workers’ compensation law in Georgia.
After beginning his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in Fulton County, John moved into insurance defense, representing employers and insurance companies in workers’ compensation matters. For the past 18 years, he has represented injured workers.
Now, as a mediator, John brings that experience from both sides into the room — along with an understanding of the people, pressures and perspectives that can make workers’ compensation disputes difficult to resolve.
Same field.Different chair.

Both sides
Experience representing employers, insurers and injured workers.
- 02
Workers' compensation
More than 20 years working within Georgia's workers' compensation system.

A different role
John's job now isn't to advocate for either side. It's to help both sides work toward resolution.
“Different perspectives.One table.”
Better conversations move people forward.
Mediation
Keep the decision at the table.
Mediation is a private, confidential process that gives the parties an opportunity to resolve a dispute without leaving the outcome entirely to a trial or hearing.
A neutral mediator helps both sides identify the issues, communicate their positions and work toward an agreement they can both accept.
The mediator doesn’t decide who wins. The parties decide whether they can find a resolution.
More control · Less formality · A practical path toward resolution
The process
A better conversation can change the direction of a case.
- 01
Before the mediation
John reviews position papers, settlement demands and relevant medical records provided before the mediation so he can understand the dispute before everyone sits down.
- 02
The conversation
Meet in person, virtually or in a hybrid format. Each side has an opportunity to communicate its position and concerns.
- 03
Finding common ground
John works with the parties to explore areas of agreement, identify obstacles and evaluate possible paths toward resolution.
- 04
Follow-through
When useful, follow-up is available after the initial mediation to help continue the conversation.
