At Clements & Sweet, we act out of concern and compassion
and believe in quality of counsel, not quantity of clients.
Welcome to
Clements & Sweet

OUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Workers' Compensation
—
State and Federal
A workplace injury can derail your life, whether your claim falls under the Georgia Workers’ Compensation Act or federal jurisdiction like the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). We guide you through complex legal procedures to ensure you receive proper medical treatment and the full income benefits you deserve. From initial filing through the appeals process, we stand by your side so you can focus on healing.
Defense Base
Act (DBA) Claims
Civilian and government contractors injured while working overseas face a unique set of federal requirements under the Defense Base Act. We provide dedicated representation to manage your DBA claim and secure compensation for medical expenses and lost wages. No matter where in the world your injury occurred, we ensure your rights under U.S. law are fully protected.
Veterans
Benefits
Securing your earned benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs should not feel like another fight. We help military veterans handle initial disability claims, appeal unfair denials, and seek rating increases. You served our country with honor, and we are committed to helping you receive the financial support and medical care you earned.
Social Security
Disability Claims
When a serious medical condition prevents you from working, obtaining disability benefits should bring relief, not frustration. We guide you through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) processes in plain, clear language. Our team handles the administrative burden so you can secure a stable income and peace of mind.
Immigration
Law
Achieving legal status in the United States requires clear direction and strong advocacy. We handle a wide range of immigration matters, including family-based visas, employment authorization, citizenship applications, and removal defense. We work closely with you and your family to resolve complex federal requirements and build your future here.
“I can say without doubt that this firms sole concern is the rights, under law, of the people they represent. If you want an attorney and firm that will always speak truth to you, who will fight for what is needed for the injured, who puts the clients needs above their own paycheck, then you have found the right one.”

OUR ATTORNEYS
L. Thomas Clements
ATTORNEY
When it comes to marathons, the right shoes, the right pace, and the right strategy can make or break a race. A long-distance runner with a knack for seeing what's coming around the curve. Tom has the stamina and the vision to find the best possible outcome for any situation.
​
Proof of his intuition? if you asked 10 year old Tom what he wants to be when he grows up, his answer would have been no different than it is today — a problem solver, and advocate, and a champion of those in need. As a senior partner at Clements & Sweet, he is all those things and more to many people who have come looking for guidance through challenging times.
