Butler Prather LLP
For over 30 years, Butler Prather LLP has been obtaining verdicts and settlements in the millions and even hundreds of millions of dollars for injured clients in Georgia and across the country. From our offices in Atlanta, Columbus and Savannah, we pursue justice for clients who have suffered serious injuries due to motor vehicle accidents, trucking accidents, product and premises liability, among others. Our attorneys also handle wrongful death claims, business torts, Whistleblower/FCA claims and Negligence/Tort cases.
Clients know that cases involving serious injuries require the finest lawyers. We set the bar high and take complex cases. We obtained the largest settlements in the state in 2012, 2014 and 2016; the largest verdicts in 2015 and 2019. We have more settlements and verdicts over the $1 million mark than any other law firm in the state.
In the professional community, our attorneys seek to advance legal knowledge and growth for themselves and others. They are members and leaders in many state and national organizations, including the American Bar Association, the State Bar of Georgia and the American Association for Justice. Our attorneys regularly author articles for law reviews and legal journals, and they also speak at legal seminars. Many firms see our successes and seek to imitate our techniques.
When we are not working, our team at Butler Prather LLP is dedicated to making a difference in the community through our volunteer and financial commitments.
