The Law Offices of William F. Underwood, III, P.C. has changed its name to Underwood Law LLC to honor the family's multi-generational commitment to serving Southwest Georgia communities while maintaining their focus on workers' compensation and personal injury representation.

The Law Offices of William F. Underwood, III, P.C. has officially changed its name to Underwood Law LLC, marking a significant rebranding that honors the firm's family legacy while maintaining its commitment to client service. William F. "Trey" Underwood, III, the firm's lead attorney, explained that the name change acknowledges the Underwood family's history of serving Albany and surrounding communities, a tradition that began when his father, William F. "Bill" Underwood, Jr., founded the practice in 1974.
"Shortening the name to Underwood Law LLC embodies the lasting legacy of Underwood service to the good people of Southwest Georgia," Underwood stated. "It also reflects the premium my father placed on putting people over profits." Bill Underwood, who established the firm's foundation of community-focused legal service, passed away in 2010, leaving behind a practice built on principles of client-centered representation.
The rebranded firm continues to represent clients in workers' compensation and personal injury cases throughout Georgia, having recovered millions of dollars for clients since its inception. The legal team includes trial lawyer and Albany native Ben Haggerty and attorney Cynthia "Cindi" Deese, both of whom reinforce the firm's dedication to providing experienced representation with a welcoming, hometown approach. This combination of legal expertise and community connection has been central to the firm's identity for decades.
Underwood Law LLC serves clients across a broad spectrum of injury claims, including workers' compensation, car accidents, commercial truck accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, premises liability, defective products, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse and neglect, and wrongful death cases. The firm maintains its commitment to providing dedicated legal representation and zealous advocacy for clients pursuing compensation for job injuries and injuries caused by others' negligence.

Moving forward, the firm plans to continue its mission of client-focused legal service under the new name, preserving the values established by its founder while adapting to better represent its enduring commitment to the Southwest Georgia community. The name change symbolizes both continuity with the firm's historical roots and its ongoing evolution as a legal practice dedicated to putting clients first in all aspects of representation.
