Firm History and Philosophy

Bovis, Kyle, Burch & Medlin, LLC was founded over 50 years ago, when John Bovis joined the firm’s predecessor started by federal Senior Judge William C. O’Kelley.  Encouraged by our clients’ needs, the firm has grown to include attorneys dedicated to a wide variety of practice areas. In 2008, that growth spurred the firm’s move to a larger main office that includes state-of-the-art mediation space and advanced technology, helping us to better serve our clients’ needs.

Bovis, Kyle, Burch & Medlin, LLC is a multi-practice firm with its main office located in the growing Perimeter Center area, north of downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Additionally, the firm has offices located in Cumming, Georgia, and Greensboro, North Carolina.

Our Philosophy: Legal Advisors

Throughout our history, we have remained true to our mission to be trusted advocates to each client.  To assist our clients in solving their legal problems, a major objective has been the development of a highly competent organization capable of providing the finest legal services available.  The firm’s growth has not jeopardized the close personal client relationships that we have built over the years.  Maintaining highly satisfied clients who receive superior representation at a fair fee has been and is the foundation of the firm’s success.

Our attorneys practice locally, nationally, and internationally, including appearing in all state and federal courts in Georgia, the United States Supreme Court, the Court of Federal Claims, and numerous other courts, either on a continuing basis or pro hac vice.  We have been admitted in the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Districts and pro hac vice in 38 of the 50 States.  Concentrating primarily on litigation, corporate law, employment law, family law, workers’ compensation, surety, fidelity, and construction law, Bovis, Kyle, Burch & Medlin, LLC offers its clients:
