Biography
Trial lawyer, William "Trey" Underwood works tirelessly on behalf of his clients. His practice is limited to representing all types of plaintiffs in personal injury matters and claimants in workers' compensation claims. Trey works exclusively on behalf of injured people and their families. He doesn't represent insurance companies or employers, and he never has. He works solely on behalf of individuals.
At the Law Offices of WIlliam F. Underwood, III, P.C., great care is taken to ensure that clients receive the full value for their claims. If the insurance company isn't offering a fair settlement, trial will be recommended and pursued. Cases are prepared for trial. During his time as an assistant district attorney, William "Trey" Underwood gained extensive courtroom experience presenting cases to judges and juries. During the past several years, he has taken his courtroom experience and put it to work on behalf of his personal injury and workers' compensation clients.
Trey's father, the late William F. "Bill" Underwood, Jr. was a longtime trial lawyer and advocate for injured people in southwest Georgia. Following Trey's tenure at the Dougherty Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office, Trey joined his father's personal injury and workers' compensation practice where he was mentored by his father and learned from his father's thirty-five years of personal injury and workers' compensation trial experience. Following his father's passing in 2010, Trey followed in his father's footsteps by becoming a leader in the local bar association and State Bar of Georiga. Trey is a Past President of the Dougherty Judicial Circuit Bar Association and is the Chair-Elect of the State Bar of Georgia's General Practice and Trial Section. He is also active in the Georgia Trial Lawyers' Association, where he is a member of the 2014-2015 LEAD Class as well as the American Association for Justice.
