Bio

John Houghton is a civil trial attorney in Atlanta. His practice The Houghton Law Firm, LLC focuses on injury and wrongful death litigation involving motor carrier and commercial vehicle wrecks. Mr. Houghton has served as lead trial counsel in multiple significant injury cases throughout the state of Georgia. He has spoken frequently at seminars on litigation-related topics. Mr. Houghton is also passionate about representing injury victims of drunk driving and served as Chairman of the Steering Committee for Walk Like MADD 2013 and 2014. He belongs to Lawyers Club of Atlanta and is an active member of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association.

Mr. Houghton is listed in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers by Martindale‑Hubbell and is named in Top 100 Trial Lawyers and Top Forty Under 40 in Georgia by The National Trial Lawyers. John has been continually selected as a Super Lawyer - Rising Star since starting his own practice with multiple featured articles in Atlanta Magazine.  Less than 2.5% of the practicing lawyers in the state of Georgia have received such a designation.

Mr. Houghton’s firm is a full service civil trial practice dedicated to the representation of individuals who have suffered a loss through no fault of their own, and have been further victimized by a liability insurance industry that consistently undervalues or denies the claims they are obligated to pay.

Mr. Houghton has a significant background in handling and litigating commercial motor vehicle claims.  Prior to starting his own law practice, he litigated numerous high-end commercial vehicle wreck cases as an associate attorney for one of the preeminent trucking trial firms in the country.  His background and training under these prior defense attorneys for the trucking industry enables him to efficiently navigate through the complex federal regulations these motor carriers are required to follow.

The ‘profit over safety’ culture of our interstate transportation industry results in fatigued, underpaid, over-worked drivers being dispatched in 80,000+ lbs. tractor-trailers onto the same roadways as Georgia families.  The outcome is often catastrophic. Mr. Houghton has been associated on numerous cases by other lawyers at both the state and national level.

Having tried numerous cases to jury verdict, Mr. Houghton approaches each case from the perspective of what will provide the most impact at trial. The Houghton Law Firm commits significant resources to trial preparation for each case, and does not employ a cookie-cutter strategy like many of the volume, settlement firms. Mr. Houghton’s boutique trial practice is committed to maximizing the value of each case on an individual basis.  He is admitted to practice in all superior and state courts of Georgia, including the Georgia Supreme Court and the Georgia Court of Appeals, as well as all federal courts in the Northern District and Middle District of Georgia.
