Wetherington Law Firm, P.C.

What Wetherington Law Firm, P.C. does

Wetherington Law Firm, P.C. is an Atlanta-based boutique litigation firm founded by Matt Wetherington, operating as a Georgia professional corporation. The firm represents plaintiffs in personal injury, wrongful death, and class action matters across Georgia from seven office locations (Atlanta x2, Druid Hills, Macon x2, Rome, Roswell, Thomasville). All matters are handled on a contingency fee basis: 33⅓% of recovery if a case settles pre-suit and 40% if litigation becomes necessary, with no attorney fees owed unless the firm wins and case expenses advanced by the firm only reimbursed from any recovery. Free initial case evaluations are standard, and the firm waives attorney fees on property damage and medical payment coverage work, while also negotiating down medical liens and bills on behalf of clients.

The practice is composed of 12 named practice areas covering car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, premises liability, defective vehicles, defective tires, crime victim civil claims, and class actions against corporations (financial fraud, privacy violations, insurance fraud, usurious lending). Through the founder-led Tire Safety Group nonprofit, the firm operates the world's largest database of recalled tires searchable by DOT code, accessible via free mobile apps, which directly feeds its defective tire and product liability practice. Distribution is multi-channel: earned media placements across CNN, BBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS Roadtrip Nation; active organic social on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn; a content marketing blog; a formal attorney referral program offering 20-50% fee shares; and community outreach via Auto Accident Survivors of Georgia and the Legal Accelerator Network.

The bench of seven named attorneys (Matt Wetherington, Robert Friedman, Eli Cohen, James Cox, Ben Levy, Elizabeth Ji, Isaac Lezcano) blends former insurance defense counsel, a former Georgia police officer and Army Reserve Captain, and trial-experienced litigators. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, no parent entity, and no subsidiaries, and reports cumulative client recoveries exceeding $500 million. It has been voted a top-3 personal injury firm in Georgia by peer attorneys in both 2020 and 2021 and is inducted into the Fulton County Daily Report Law Firm Hall of Fame.

Broad incumbents

• Morgan & Morgan: The largest U.S. plaintiff personal injury firm with a mass-advertising, contingency-fee model. Operates throughout the Southeast including Georgia and competes directly with Wetherington for auto accident, wrongful death, and mass tort cases, but at vastly greater scale and marketing spend.
• Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein: National plaintiff firm with leading class action and personal injury practices; broader geographic reach and more institutional scale than Wetherington, but directly comparable on contingency class action and product-liability work.

Direct peers

• Anapol Weiss: National plaintiff firm with strong mass tort and class action practice plus personal injury. Comparable contingency model and complex-case orientation, with broader geographic coverage than Wetherington.
• John Foy & Associates: Atlanta-based plaintiff personal injury firm with a similar contingency-fee, multi-practice-area model (car accidents, truck accidents, wrongful death). Directly competes in the same Atlanta metro and broader Georgia market with overlapping attorney-driven marketing.
• The Murray Law Firm: Georgia-based plaintiff personal injury and wrongful death firm with a contingency-fee model and similar concentration in serious injury, trucking, and wrongful death cases. Direct boutique competitor in the same metro Atlanta geography.
• Arnold & Itkin LLP: National plaintiff firm focused on catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and maritime/commercial cases with a record-verdict-driven brand. Comparable trial-ready positioning and contingency model; larger scale and broader geography.
• Robins Cloud LLP: Plaintiff firm combining personal injury with class action and product liability, very similar service mix to Wetherington. Comparable contingency model and emphasis on corporate-defendant litigation.
• Korein | Tillery: Plaintiff firm with class action and mass tort practice alongside personal injury, mirroring Wetherington's combined PI/class-action offering. Comparable contingency-driven plaintiff model focused on complex, high-value cases.
• Hasner Law Firm: Atlanta-based plaintiff personal injury practice handling car accidents, truck accidents, slip and fall, and wrongful death on contingency. Closely comparable boutique size, geography, and practice-area mix.

Regional players

• The Law Firm of Joe W. Bowers: Southeast-based plaintiff personal injury practice, primarily Alabama, with similar contingency-fee catastrophic injury focus. Comparable practice type but different primary geography than Wetherington's Georgia base.
