Our History
Watson Injury Law has evolved over the years to become what it is today.
Our firm is dedicated to serving the people who need it most — those affected by a personal injury or wrongful death.
2009
The firm that has become Watson Injury Law was founded in 2009. It opened in our current location in Kennesaw in 2011, with a focus on criminal law, family law, and civil litigation. In 2013, Matthew Watson joined the practice after several years working at a large international law firm in Atlanta.
2014
As the firm grew, the practice areas changed as well. Inspired by the mentorship of our friend Alan Nicholson, the firm began adding personal injury cases to its practice. In 2014, the firm reorganized its corporate structure, with Matthew later becoming a partner.
2016
In 2016, Matthew suffered a life-changing event that also changed the direction of the firm. A severe car crash left Matthew facing multiple surgeries and lifelong physical effects and pain. Matthew became a zealous advocate for people affected by personal injuries. Based on his experience — and the experience of everyone in the firm who supported him — the team shifted its focus to specialize in personal injury law. Matthew eventually became the managing partner of the firm.
2018
Because of our mutual dedication to personal injury clients, we merged with Alan Nicholson’s firm in 2018. The kind and trustworthy lawyer had practiced solo in Marietta for most of his career, helping people with cases related to auto accidents, premises liability, malpractice, and worker’s compensation.
2021
Alan passed away in 2021. He left an incredible legacy of legal expertise and caring for clients that continues to guide our team today. He mentored and supported his colleagues, sharing his knowledge about getting results for clients with personal injuries. Like Alan, we love getting to know our clients so they leave with a sense of peace and trust that we’ll help them through their healing process.
2023
In late 2023 we rebranded the firm as Watson Injury Law. Our team remains grateful for the many people who built the groundwork for what the firm does today — advocate for people in our community who have been hurt through no fault of their own. Our clients appreciate the family-like connection our team has with each other, and that we offer to each of our clients.
Our team continues to help people maximize their medical and financial recovery after a personal injury. Every year, we help numerous clients through a difficult period in their life, and we recover millions of dollars each year that our clients deserve. We’ve been where our clients are, we’re experts in personal injury law, and we’re passionate about helping our clients move forward with their lives.
