Matt Wetherington leads one of Georgia’s top-ranked personal injury and wrongful death law firms, recognized as the #1 firm in the state by fellow attorneys for two consecutive years. His firm also earned the highest honor from the Fulton County Daily Report with induction into their Law Firm Hall of Fame. Matt’s passion for justice goes beyond individual results—he’s used litigation to spark new laws, stronger regulations, and sweeping changes in industry standards.

His track record includes dozens of successful class actions, appearances before both the Georgia Court of Appeals and Supreme Court, and growing recognition as a thought leader in the ethical use of artificial intelligence in legal practice. Early in his career, Matt stood out as one of the youngest attorneys honored in the Daily Report’s “On the Rise” series. Soon after, his landmark verdicts—including one of the largest auto wreck awards in Georgia history—led to his induction into the ALM Verdicts Hall of Fame. He’s also been named a Super Lawyer in both Personal Injury and Products Liability.

Matt’s client-first approach and transparent communication have earned the trust of families and referring attorneys across the state. His firm builds specialized legal teams around each case, making sure every client understands what’s happening and feels supported from start to finish. That level of care has led to victories against major insurers and some of the world’s most powerful corporations.

A first-generation college graduate from Climax, Georgia, Matt remains deeply committed to community, education, and mentorship. He founded the Tire Safety Group, a nonprofit working to prevent crashes caused by defective tires, and chairs the Auto Accident Survivors of Georgia. He also co-founded the Legal Accelerator Network and Georgia Legal Accelerator to help small firm lawyers grow and better serve their clients.

His dedication to leadership and growth extends outside the legal world as well. Matt appeared on PBS’s Roadtrip Nation, where he shared lessons on resilience, innovation, and purpose alongside figures like “Weird Al” Yankovic and Dr. Francis Collins. Whether fighting in court or mentoring the next generation, Matt remains focused on making a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
