Wells and McElwee P.C.

Wells and McElwee P.C. has exclusively represented injury victims since 1977, building a respected reputation across Athens, Atlanta, and northeast Georgia. For more than four decades, the law firm has focused on personal injury and workers’ compensation matters, offering steady guidance during some of life’s most difficult moments. Founded on principles of integrity, preparation, and client-centered advocacy, the firm delivers legal excellence grounded in real courtroom experience and deep community ties.

Wells and McElwee P.C. concentrates on motor vehicle accidents, wrongful death claims, slip-and-fall injuries, and complex personal injury litigation. Car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accident cases often involve multiple parties and aggressive insurance tactics. The firm approaches each case with detailed investigation, strategic negotiation, and readiness for trial when necessary. Workers’ compensation and serious injury claims, including catastrophic cases, are handled with the same level of diligence and care.

Wells and McElwee P.C. is led by Donald T. Wells Jr., admitted to the Georgia bar in 1981, and Stephen H. McElwee, admitted in 1976 and serving as of counsel. Each attorney brings over 40 years of legal experience, including extensive trial work in personal injury, workers’ compensation, Social Security, and criminal defense matters. The firm’s longstanding presence since 1977 reflects stability, ethical advocacy, and consistent results. Referrals from doctors, judges, attorneys, and former clients demonstrate trusted professional relationships built over decades.

Wells and McElwee P.C. prioritizes individualized attention because no two injury cases are alike. Thorough preparation, responsive communication, and careful attention to detail shape every legal strategy. Most personal injury matters are accepted on a contingency fee basis, meaning no attorney’s fee is collected unless a settlement or verdict is secured. With offices in Athens and Oconee County, the firm remains committed to protecting client interests, maintaining confidentiality, and delivering high-quality representation tailored to each case.
