Whitney Lay Greene is an experienced trial attorney, handling cases in Georgia and Tennessee. She handles a broad spectrum of matters in the fields of commercial transportation, ride-share/gig economy liability, premises liability, and product liability. Whitney sees herself as the strategic business partner for her clients with a focus on mitigating risk while recognizing the importance of supporting overall business goals. Whitney assists in pre-litigation matters with responses to pre-suit preservation letters and time-limited demands in addition to emergency accident response and on-scene investigative services. Her established relationships with accident reconstruction experts and investigators ensure that accidents are thoroughly investigated from day one and that all key evidence is preserved.

Whitney prides herself on handling matters large and small for her clients but focuses her practice on cases with complex liability and medical causation issues, including catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims. She has specific experience addressing issues with medical litigation funding, attorney-directed care, and addressing inflated medical bills. 

Whitney has a wealth of experience in all aspects of litigation, including motion practice, expert depositions, mediations, and representing clients at the trial and appellate level. Her success relies on her ability to fully understand the desired resolution and expertise in identifying creative, efficient, and effective strategies on behalf of her clients.   Whitney also consults with clients across the country on matters related to deposition preparation of witnesses and lien-based care issues. She is a sought-after speaker and author. 

Prior to joining the firm, Whitney was a partner in an Atlanta firm. Outside of the firm, Whitney is a twin + 1 mom and avid college sports fan.
