I received recommendations from several friends before selecting a lawyer. I also called one of the big advertising firms that you see on TV. The other firms directed me through a call center and I never spoke to a real lawyer. The first time I called Werner Wetherington, I spoke directly to an attorney. I selected Werner Wetherington and it was the best decision I have ever made. The lawyers at this firm did an incredible job with my case. Thank you Matt!
Matt Wetherington represented me after a car wreck. I will not go into the very lengthy details about my injuries and their complications. But, I had and still have very painful injuries that I will be dealing with for the rest of my life. I initially hired another attorney. They were very nice and I like him personally. But, he was not equipped to handle a “products liability” case. After I brought my concerns to the other attorney, he introduced me to Matt Wetherington. Matt was perfect for my case and he charged the exact same as my previous lawyer. He identified other defendants that my previous attorney missed and he managed to get the first defendant to admit liability. They had initially contested it. He advised us to reject an inappropriately low settlement offer from that defendant and then they offered FIVE TIMES the previous offer! We accepted that offer and then also received meaningful offers from the other defendants also.
Met Matt during a jury selection, did not get selected, however found him to be very thorough and knowledgeable . My parents were involved in a tractor trailer accident seven years ago and they were compensated for their injuries also, but not enough.

In the courtroom, Matt takes on powerful defendants and wins. He fights for victims of defective products, reckless drivers, and corporate fraud. His clients have won verdicts and settlements totaling over $100 million through Matt’s work ethic, creativity, and enthusiasm. In 2014, Matt was one of the youngest attorneys ever selected by the Daily Report as “On the Rise,” an annual list of forty attorneys who have made a difference and will continue to do so in the future. Out of the courtroom, Matt helps his clients put their lives back together. He also works to empower others to make informed decisions about their health, safety, and financial well-being.
Matt’s efforts have sparked legislation and federal investigations, and protected millions of families from dangerous products. While representing victims of catastrophic tire failures, Matt took additional action to protect other families from suffering the same fate. He personally compiled a list of almost ten million recalled tires and founded the Tire Safety Group to keep the list up to date and freely available. Through its website and free mobile apps, the Tire Safety Group is the only service in the world that instantly detects aged or recalled tires. Even a frequent critic of Matt’s role in holding the tire industry accountable, Tire Review magazine, praised his work as being “for the benefit of his fellow man.”
Matt is a first-generation college graduate from Climax, Georgia. He worked his way through Mercer University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts. Matt then attended Mercer’s Walter F. George School of Law on a tuition scholarship. Matt attributes these successes to the example set by his father and mentors. After losing his mother at thirteen, Matt watched his father juggle multiple jobs to support his family. Matt also received significant support from his teachers and community. Because of these experiences, Matt and his wife, Michele, are committed to causes that enable individuals and communities to reach their full potential.
After law school, Matt immediately went to work for people injured, killed, or financially harmed by the misconduct of others. His decision has led him to courthouses and kitchen tables across the United States. He quickly gained experience in high-stakes cases involving wrongful death, quadriplegia, and other serious injuries. Matt now works with teams of the brightest lawyers and support staff in the nation. Whether representing a nationwide class harmed by corporate fraud or a local victim of individual carelessness, Matt is a powerful voice for those seeking just and fair treatment under the law. As Ralph Nader, one of the most successful consumer advocates, puts it, “There’s seventy thousand trial lawyers—how many are like Matt? Maybe a 100.”
