Whitney Lay Greene is an experienced civil litigator, practicing primarily in the general liability field. She handles matters in the fields of transportation/trucking law, premises liability, and products liability in both state and federal courts all over Georgia. Although Whitney prides herself on the ability to assist clients with matters large and small, she focuses her practice on cases with complex liability and medical causation issues, including catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims. Whitney serves clients who manage a high volume of cases, handling files from the initial complaint through final resolution. She has significant experience positioning cases for dismissal on summary judgment and other cost-effective resolution options. In addition, Whitney has taken and defended hundreds of depositions (including medical and non-medical experts), handled over a hundred mediations, and successfully represented clients at both the trial and appellate level. Whitney routinely provides pre-suit strategic advice including responses to evidence retention requests and settlement demands, and assists clients in developing strategies for efficiently and effectively resolving claims at the earliest stage.
Whitney is an active member of the firm and in her community. She serves on the firm’s Diversity Committee, Summer Associate Committee, and Associate Review Committee. She is also active with the firm’s Association of Women Lawyers.
