Proving that Justice is More than a Word in Dougherty County
Since his time as a law student at Florida Coastal School of Law where he served as president of the school’s American Association for Justice (formerly the Association of Trial Lawyers of America), William F. “Trey” Underwood, III has been focused on justice. For Trey, justice is not just a word, it is a vital idea in our society—doing what is right for the good of all.
Trey was able to put that powerful idea into practice when the Dougherty Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s office entrusted him to handle the prosecution of felony, misdemeanor, and juvenile cases. His tireless determination while working for the District Attorney provided Trey with valuable trial experience as lead counsel in jury trials. After leaving that position, Trey joined his late father, William F. “Bill” Underwood, Jr., at Law Offices of William F. Underwood, III, P.C., where he began focusing on obtaining justice for individuals.
Fighting for the Rights of People—Not Companies
As he began handling personal injury and workers’ compensation litigation, Trey championed the causes of those who needed help setting things right – even when the odds seemed formidable. For Trey, it was just one more way to serve the ideal of justice. Recognizing that individuals affected by injuries on the job or serious personal injuries need a strong, knowledgeable supporter willing to fight for justice, Trey opened his own firm dedicated to representing these victims in 2010. His knowledge and experience in handling personal injury and workers’ compensation cases led to success, and to justice for the victims. Trey has recovered millions of dollars for his clients since opening his practice.
Making a Difference in the Community
Trey is a native son of Albany, Georgia, where he currently resides. He serves the cause of justice one person at a time by helping individuals within the southwest Georgia community – and all Georgians who need strong, experienced legal services. Trey gives back to the legal profession as well, teaching classes and chairing seminars for lawyers on topics such as workers’ compensation.
