Real Trial Lawyers Seeking Full Justice for Real People

Breaking Records and Setting Standards of Excellence

For more than 30 years, the trial lawyers at Butler Wooten & Fryhofer have been obtaining record verdicts and settlements in personal injury, wrongful death and product liability cases in courtrooms in Georgia and across the country.

Our firm has battled some of the largest corporations in the world — and we've won.

No firm in America has done more to benefit real people who have been injured because of the greed, carelessness or negligence of large companies or other people. No firm in America has a better verdict or settlement record. One example is the Six Flags case, believed to be the largest verdict in American history actually collected in full after appeal.


Watch Butler Wooten on the Insider Exclusive
Our firm has virtually reinvented how product liability and automobile defect claims are litigated. Key to obtaining decisive victories in these cases is forcing negligent companies to share information that establishes their liability. We've been able to do just that and we've gotten the courts to sanction companies that hid evidence or provided false information. We are aggressive in fighting for our injured clients.

Millions of Dollars for Injury Victims

Our attorneys have recovered many millions of dollars for people who have suffered serious personal injuries and wrongful death claims and for families whose loved ones died because of medical malpractice, car accidents, nursing home abuse or poorly maintained properties.

Butler Wooten & Fryhofer is also actively engaged in consumer rights, business torts, and class action litigation and its creative work has set new standards in those areas of law.

Quality Work · Superior Results · Reputation for Excellence

Our reputation for thorough trial preparation and outstanding courtroom skills is fully established. Former Georgia Governor Carl Sanders, noted that, "You have to be ready to do battle if you're going into court against Jim Butler." Lawyers on the other side of the table know we mean business. They know how determined we are to obtain maximum compensation for our clients. We are dedicated to doing quality work that gets superior results for every client, every time.
