Setting the Standard for Success

Few law firms in America, and none in Georgia or the Southeast, can match the outstanding record of success achieved by Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer, LLP in the past 30 years. Whether personal injury or business tort, the firm has set new records for verdicts awarded, affirmed and collected.

Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer, LLP has battled some of the largest corporations in the world, and won. No firm in America has done more to benefit 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.

Record-setting settlements and verdicts

  • Largest collected judgment in the United States
  • Over $1.4 billion collected for clients
  • Over $100 million in attorneys fees to referring lawyers
  • Set the record four times for Georgia's largest jury verdict, in four completely different types of cases (medical malpractice, trucking, products liability, and business torts)
  • Largest jury verdict in a contested case in Georgia
  • Largest compensatory damages verdict in Georgia
  • Largest business tort verdict ever affirmed and paid in full in U.S. ($639 million)
  • Verdict records set in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Missouri
  • Largest wrongful death verdict in Tennessee ($105.5 million)
  • 5 verdicts over $100 million, more than any firm in Georgia history
  • 12 verdicts over $10 million, more than any firm in Georgia history
  • 28 verdicts over $1 million, more than any firm in Georgia history
  • Over $400 million in class action settlements
  • Largest Georgia settlement in environmental class action - $25 million
  • Handled cases in 29 states

The 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. Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer, LLP has done just that, and gotten the courts to sanction companies that hid evidence or provided false information.
