About

I help individuals who have been hurt by someone else's negligence or misconduct.  At my firm, Butler Tobin LLC, we believe in hard work and straight shooting.I have been named Georgia's Young Litigator of the Year, a Rising Star, a Top 100 Trial Lawyer, and among Georgia's Legal Elite.  I have won jury verdicts of up to $150 million.  At Butler Tobin, we work exclusively on a contingency basis, meaning that if our firm does not win money for our client, our client pays us nothing.I was born and raised in Columbus, Georgia.  I earned an undergraduate degree at Vanderbilt University, completed the Stanford University Graduate School of Business Summer Institute, and  earned my law degree at the University of Georgia.  During law school, I participated in law review, moot court, and mock trial.  I graduated in the top 10% of my class and, while still in law school, won a  trial for a man falsely accused of driving under the influence who could not afford a lawyer.  Before starting my own firm, I worked at a public defender's office, clerked at two of Atlanta's most large defense firms, served as a staff attorney for Judge Lisa Godbey Wood of the Southern District of Georgia, tried cases as prosecutor, and handled civil cases at Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer.

I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. [My attorney] fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thanks guys!!!

My husband sustained multiple injuries as a result of a car accident in November of 2014. Fortunately, he hired Jeb Butler and Darren Tobin. Their legal finesse, client care and compassion are incomparable. Butler Tobin worked diligently for resolution to my husband’s claim involving our own insurance company. The case went to a jury trial and this legal dynamic duo, aided by Sarah Christy, went to work. They presented mounds of evidence, used expert witnesses, listened attentively to everything said on the stand, made notes, skillfully questioned noted points and summarized thoroughly. The enormous effort and dedication of Butler Tobin secured a win. The jury awarded over $935K. I especially appreciate the care and concern expressed repeatedly by the Butler Tobin team. My husband leaned on Jeb continuously through numerous surgeries and the effects caused by traumatic brain injury. Jeb always responded with kindness and compassion. He positively influenced my husband’s ongoing physical and mental recovery which is invaluable! Hiring Butler Tobin was our lucky day. They are great people doing great things for people who really need help! Carol Taylor

We hired Jeb Butler of Butler Tobin after an automobile accident that my husband was involved in as a passenger. From the moment we first consulted with Jeb we knew we had found the right lawyer. His first concern was my husbands health, which was refreshing. Throughout our case he was always available for email or phone calls, even on the weekends. We were kept up to date during the entire process and were never misled about what our outcome would be. Thanks to Jeb we received the full policy limits of the at fault party's insurance, after an initial denial of coverage. We are thankful to know that if needed in the future, we have Butler Tobin to call on!!

After a terrible car accident in late 2014, I was in shock, confused and suffering from numerous injuries. Butler Tobin stepped in not only as my legal team and my project managers, but also personally to calm everything down on a constant basis. Jeb Butler in particular encouraged and supported me through many really bad days and months during four surgeries for back, neck, knee and wrist and through the mental anguish resulting from severe traumatic brain injury. He encouraged me to be steadfast in my treatment so I could move forward in life while he took care of all the legal matters. Always going above and beyond for me, Jeb Butler became family. The case against my own insurance company went to trial in January 2018. Jeb Butler and Darren Tobin did an exceptional job. The Butler Tobin team was extremely prepared, organized, and thorough. Their knowledge of the law and formidable skill in the courtroom helped insure a win. The jury awarded over $935K. While I will never be the same as before the accident, thanks to Butler Tobin, I have a brighter future. I will always be grateful for their concern and service.

From the very first phone call, Mr. Butler was extremely kind and caring for the issue my son and I were dealing with. He took the time to answer all questions we had in reference to the process we were about to deal with. He was very knowledgeable and was able to guide us in our legal journey. He and his staff were always available to take my calls. If he was not in the office he was very prompt in returning calls. Mr. Butler gave us a sense of peace knowing we had someone working on our side to help us. I would highly recommend Mr. Butler to anyone that is in need of his services.

Jeb and his team did an excellent job of handling my case. From the very beginning he handled everything; helping to give me some peace of mind after my accident. Their team communicated with me on every step of the way always making sure that I didn’t have any questions about my case. When it came to my settlement the team at Butler & Tobin were able to quickly obtain the maximum allotment for my settlement. I am so glad that I choose Butler & Tobin!
