Workers Compensation 75%

I have dedicated the majority of my practice to protecting the rights of injured workers in East Alabama and West Georgia.

29 years

75%
Personal Injury 15%

Often times, workplace accidents are caused by the negligence of someone else. If so, we are able to pursue "3rd party" claims against them outside of workers' comp.

15%
Social Security & Disability 10%

If you are no longer able to work, we can help you get the benefits you deserve.

Great Attorney

Mr. White helped me with my personal injury case. He and his office staff were very professional during the entire process. He kept me informed every step of the way. Was always available when I contacted him with questions or concerns on my case. I would highly recommend Matt White and would use... him again if needed in the future.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
