Cunningham Bounds is pleased to announce that four attorneys from our Atlanta office have been selected for inclusion in the 2026 Georgia Super Lawyers® and Georgia Rising Stars℠ lists. These annual selections recognize attorneys who have earned a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement through a rigorous, research-driven process.
This year’s results also reflect the depth of experience within our Atlanta team. Lance D. Lourie and Nicholas C. Moraitakis have each now been recognized by Georgia Super Lawyers® for more than two decades, underscoring sustained excellence in high-stakes plaintiffs’ litigation. Mr. Lourie was also named to the Top 100 Georgia Super Lawyers® list, an additional honor reserved for the highest-rated attorneys in the state.

A Reflection of Peer Respect and Trial Excellence
These recognitions speak to the respect Cunningham Bounds attorneys have cultivated within the legal community and reflect the strength of our trial practice in Georgia and beyond.
For decades, our firm has represented individuals and families in complex, high-stakes litigation involving motor vehicle accidents, defective products, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and other catastrophic injury claims. Our attorneys have helped recover billions of dollars in compensation for clients across Georgia and throughout the Southeast, consistently preparing cases for trial and taking on powerful defendants when justice demands it.
We congratulate Glenn Kushel, Lance Lourie, Nicholas Moraitakis, and Jessica Lourie on their well-earned recognition in the 2026 Georgia Super Lawyers® and Rising Stars℠ publications.
