About McMath Woods 

McMath Woods is a firm of trial lawyers that has provided innovative, aggressive, and ethical representation to plaintiffs in the civil justice system for over half a century. The attorneys offer representation in most types of personal injury and wrongful death cases, including car accidents, injuries from defective products, workplace injuries, and more.

McMath Woods endeavors to reflect the values that guided the original firm, operating on the belief that the civil justice system, while securing individual justice, is also an essential tool for regulating private behavior for the benefit of society at large. Every true plaintiff’s lawyer is a public interest lawyer committed to pursuing justice, both inside and outside the courtroom. For our attorneys, every case is an opportunity to make a difference.

Firm Background: A Legacy of Service

McMath Woods was founded in 1953 by Sidney S. McMath, Leland F. Leatherman, and Henry Woods. The three established the law firm after McMath completed two terms as Arkansas’ Governor, with Woods and Leatherman serving in McMath’s administration. The three dedicated their practice to representing those injured or wronged in personal injury and consumer matters. McMath and Woods developed a national reputation for representing plaintiffs in personal injury cases.

McMath was elected President of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, and Woods was appointed as a United States District Court Judge and authored a legal treatise on comparative fault.

What We Do — Who We Represent

Our firm primarily represents individuals and small businesses injured or wronged. Most cases are represented on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we prevail. Most consultations are free, and all matters discussed are confidential. We handle personal injury, environmental, and pesticide damage claims in Arkansas. When appropriate, we refer prospective clients outside our practice areas without charge.

Who We Are

All of our attorneys have litigation experience in their practice areas. We are proud that most of our work is referred by other attorneys, and we frequently work in association with referring counsel on significant claims. The firm and most of our attorneys are A/V rated “Preeminent” by Martindale-Hubbell and are recognized as exceptionally successful in their practice areas. 

Our Experience

There are few plaintiffs’ firms in Arkansas with broader experience in civil litigation. The firm has handled over five thousand personal injury claims, from car wrecks, medical injury, and defective products to toxic exposures. In our environmental law practice, we have represented whole communities impacted by air pollution from local industries and individuals who have had their lives affected by leaking storage tanks. We have handled pesticide crop damage claims from South Texas to Florida. There are very few areas of civil litigation in which we do not have experience.

The McMath Woods Difference: A Law Firm That Cares.

At McMath Woods, we are not a high-volume personal injury law firm. You won’t see us on billboards or in flashy TV ads. We take on a relatively small number of cases, allowing us to invest the time and expense to give our clients our full, focused attention. Your contact with us will be with our personal injury attorney—not a staff member or case manager. 

Attorney Tim Giattina

The Lawyer You Want on Your Side

As our legal team takes on far fewer clients, it allows us to work closely with each one with personalized, compassionate legal counsel. After a tragedy that has turned your life upside down, justice must be pursued. We pour our resources, time, and energy into every case we represent. Our approach has led to a history of achieving high-value settlements and jury verdicts in challenging personal injury claims and lawsuits.
