Will Owens

Will handles complex personal injury and wrongful death cases involving aviation accidents, fire/explosion incidents, and serious motor vehicle crashes. He joined the firm in 2016, was named Partner in 2018, and now shares in the firm ownership. Before joining Conley Griggs Partin, Will worked for a large insurance defense firm in Atlanta, where he defended commercial clients in a wide variety of civil cases and gained firsthand knowledge of the defense strategies employed by insurance companies. After several years of defense work, Will realized he wanted to spend the rest of his career helping real people who were severely damaged due to corporate negligence and wrongdoing. Now, he exclusively represents plaintiffs throughout the State of Georgia in wrongful death and catastrophic personal injuries cases.

Will worked on the trial teams in Curtis v. United States of America, an aviation case in which a federal court awarded a verdict of $11,700,000 for the wrongful death of a passenger in a fatal airplane crash, and Scoggins v. Athens Regional Specialty Services et al, a medical malpractice case where the firm obtained a $6,000,000 verdict in DeKalb County. Will also has extensive appellate experience in the Georgia Court of Appeals and the Georgia Supreme Court.

Will is the firm’s first “promoted” partner and acts as co-managing partner, overseeing many of the firm’s day-to-day operations. He has been selected by his peers to the Super Lawyers “Rising Stars” list from 2020 through 2025, a distinction earned by only 2.5% of attorneys in the state.

Will graduated from Washington and Lee University with a Bachelor of Arts in Politics. In 2011, Will received his Juris Doctor, cum laude, from the University of Georgia and was admitted to the Georgia Bar later that year. Will lives in Atlanta with his wife and daughter, and when he’s not practicing law, enjoys playing golf, cooking, and traveling.
