A dedicated fighter in the battle against injustice, Attorney Shean Williams is a masterful litigator who prides himself on his strong work ethic and tenacity.

His jury verdicts and settlements are in excess of $80 million.

Mr. Williams is proud to have obtained many multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements for his injured clients. Specifically, Mr. Williams was one of the lead attorneys who obtained a $20 Million wrongful death verdict in Clayton County, Georgia, and a $17.5 Million verdict in Fulton County, Georgia.
