When Phillip McCorkle wanted to add an associate to his Savannah-based law firm, he would make an offer each time to his nephew, Robert L. McCorkle III, who repeatedly rejected it. But after several years of practicing at large Atlanta firm Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice and the former Kilpatrick Stockton, McCorkle was ready to consider a change.
“I was living the typical life of a young attorney in Atlanta,” says McCorkle. “My wife and I were living in Grant Park and I loved the work and the people. At first I didn’t want to return to Savannah. But then I started looking around and the partners I worked for were working even longer hours than I, so I decided that the brass ring was not money but spending more time with my family and not being in the office on the weekends.”
