Civil Litigation & Class Actions

Withers Law Firm brings the same thorough preparation to civil litigation that defines its criminal defense practice. The firm has secured multimillion-dollar results in class actions, wrongful death cases, and complex disputes in federal and state courts.

Complex Civil Litigation

The firm handles complex civil litigation including matters involving technical and scientific issues, serious personal injury, and wrongful death. These cases require the ability to master complicated fact patterns, work with expert witnesses, and present persuasive arguments to judges and juries.

Mr. Withers secured a $2 million wrongful death settlement in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia. The analytical rigor that produces not guilty verdicts in federal criminal trials carries directly into civil litigation. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Class Action Lawsuits

Mr. Withers has developed an active class action practice in the insurance, real estate, mortgage, and banking sectors. He has served as liaison counsel in major nationwide litigation, working on cases that have produced substantial recoveries for class members.

In Pitts v. Novastar Financial, Inc., a multi-district class action consolidated in Savannah involving alleged violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, Mr. Withers served as liaison counsel. The case settled for more than $17 million. He also served as liaison counsel in class action litigation against Home Depot and Equifax arising from data security breaches, helping negotiate substantial settlements. The firm continues to investigate and pursue class action cases. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

False Claims Act & Whistleblower Actions

The False Claims Act generally allows individuals with knowledge of fraud against the government to file lawsuits — commonly known as qui tam actions — on behalf of the United States. These cases arise most often in the healthcare and government contracting sectors.

Mr. Withers advises clients on initiating whistleblower claims, preparing the disclosures required under the statute, and working to persuade the government to intervene. The firm provides confidential counsel from the earliest stages, helping clients navigate the process while protecting their interests. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
