Helping Clients Nationwide Pursue Full and Fair Compensation
Before you hire a law firm, you should ask what that firm has accomplished in cases like yours in the past. Only then will you know whether the lawyers at the firm are prepared to achieve the best result in your case. At Butler Prather LLP, our results set us apart. Our reputation for successfully handling complex cases helps drive our great results. We are dedicated to getting our clients the best possible result, whether by verdict or settlement.
At Butler Prather LLP, we do not take cases just so we can talk our clients into accepting whatever crumbs insurance companies and other defendants throw at them. Our opponents in the courtroom know that fact as well, and they know that a case involving Butler Prather LLP won’t be settled for pennies on the dollar. Our Atlanta lawyers are at home in the courtroom in Georgia and fully equipped to take cases to trial to protect your legal rights.
If it is a civil case, we can handle it – no matter what kind of case. We’ve handled them all very successfully – everything from business torts, whistleblower and class action cases to Atlanta car accidents, premises liability, trucking accident, auto & tire defect, nursing home, wrongful death, and environmental contamination cases.
Our firm is worlds apart from lawyers who handle hundreds of cases and settle them for pennies on the dollar. Our Atlanta personal injury attorneys dedicate whatever resources are necessary to fully investigate each case and prepare it for trial. Defense attorneys know we are fully prepared to take cases to trial and follow through on appeal, when necessary.

Educated lawyers are important, but nothing replaces experience. Real, hands-on experience helping clients, going to trial, and getting verdicts is a must if you want the best possible results. Our attorneys have decades of combined legal experience. One of the founding partners, James E. Butler, Jr. has litigated cases in 30 states, setting records for the largest verdict in several of them. We have the years of practice you need for total confidence in our skills and methods.
We understand your need to find a firm that can get you the result you want, especially if you’re suffering a lifelong injury with hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills.

The firm has also won awards, honors, and national recognition for its outstanding success.
We take pride in this slogan, which shows what our clients truly mean to us. We know hiring a lawyer isn’t in everyone’s budget. We’re changing that. When you retain our firm, you don’t pay a cent unless we win you a financial award. If we do win, we automatically deduct our attorney’s fees out of the settlement or judgment we secure for you, based on a pre-agreed upon commission percentage.
When hiring Butler Prather LLP, you’ve done more than invest in an attorney. It shows you’ve done your research, compared a few different attorneys in Atlanta, GA, and concluded we’re the best choice. Retaining our firm can relieve the burden of legal matters from your shoulders after a serious injury. We’ll take care of everything on your behalf, from conversations with insurance claims adjusters to negotiating a better injury settlement.

OUR CLIENTS TESTIMONIALS
Exceptional Trial Attorneys. Unparalleled Results.
The “best” injury attorney isn’t just about the one who will win your case. It’s about finding an advocate who truly believes in your cause. You will be working closely with your attorney for the next few weeks, months, or even years. You need to find legal representation you feel good about hiring. You can utilize interviews during your complimentary consultation to find out if an attorney is the right fit. The best lawyer for you will have the following qualifications:
You absolutely must partner with a lawyer who has real, hands-on experience with the subject matter at hand. This means if you suffered injuries at a construction site, find a lawyer who covers this practice area. Real experience in and out of the courtroom can make all the difference on your case. You can see a comprehensive list of the practice areas that we handle.
It doesn’t hurt for a lawyer to have an established history of positive case outcomes and impressive results. This shows you that the lawyer has what it takes to win cases for his or her clients. Find a lawyer who isn’t afraid to take a case to trial if that’s what it takes for maximum compensation.
Last and arguably most important, find an attorney who truly cares about the clients. Read client testimonials and firm reviews to see what past clients have to say about the lawyer. Search for a commitment to excellence, strong relationships with clients, and a lawyer with a passion for justice.
Above all, go with your gut. It’s important to make sure that you are on the same page with your attorney about your case, in order to avoid any possible miscommunication. Before signing on to work with an attorney, meet with him or her in person. Discuss the details of your case and see how the lawyer makes you feel. The best attorney for you will help you feel heard, comforted, safe, and optimistic about the future.
You might know that a settlement is faster than taking a case to trial, but do you know how long it will take to settle? The answer depends on your specific goals for the case, as well as how soon an insurance company accepts your accident claim. If an insurance company accepts your claim right away and offers a settlement that’s satisfactory to you, you could settle your case within just a few weeks. A fast settlement, however, might not be in your best interests.
There are a few different reasons that taking your time might be a better choice. For one, you might not have reached your point of maximum medical improvement (MMI) yet. If you can afford to wait, it is always wise to do so if you’re still in recovery. Otherwise, you might settle for an amount that does not reflect the full extent of your injuries. Saying no to the first settlement offer is also a good idea if your goal is to receive as much as possible, not to settle ASAP. If maximum compensation is your end goal, keep negotiating.
When dealing with the at-fault party’s insurance company, know that the agents and adjusters you speak with are not on your side. They work for the company, not for you. Their goal is to convince you to settle for as little as possible. The best way you can deal with this is to keep your answers short until you’ve spoken to an attorney. Do not let the insurance company intimidate you into agreeing to a “final offer” or recording a statement. Instead, politely decline and contact the Atlanta trial attorneys at Butler Prather LLP. We’ll help you with what to say and what not to say from there. Our goal is to protect your legal rights.
