If you’ve been injured at work, you have a valuable, dedicated ally in Whitney Roughen. Whitney takes a lot of pride in representing our firm’s clients and her attention to detail, sharp decision making and true empathy for those injured on the job are just some of the reasons she’s an important part of our team.

Whitney Roughen grew up in Arkansas and attended the University of Tennessee. She is the daughter of a pilot and journalist. Whitney is not only smart and capable, but compassionate too. She is a persuasive arguer and is always prepared. Clients appreciate her work ethic and that she’s always available to answer questions.

“Helping clients is what it’s all about,” says Ms. Roughen. “Insurance companies often want to push workers around and dictate the terms hoping the employee won’t seek representation. But once an injured worker calls our firm and I’m on the case, I won’t stop until justice is served.”

Emily Hulsey’s Georgia roots run deep. The daughter of a school counselor and landscape manager, Emily knows the struggle working families face and the dreams they have. It’s why she’s always been so caring and compassionate with her clients.

Emily grew up in Eatonton, a small Georgia town northwest of Macon, and she graduated from Georgia Southern University. She earned her law degree at Mercer University and was the first person in her family to go to law school. While always Georgia proud, Emily widened her understanding of different cultures and perspectives, studying in Italy and participating in the prestigious Oxford University human rights consortium in Brazil.

Emily is determined. She is dedicated to making a difference in our clients’ lives every day. Helping others is why she became a lawyer in the first place. She’s also known for her clear, compassionate communication that will put you at ease and keep you informed about your case.

Emily is a tough and aggressive negotiator on behalf of her clients. At the same time, she cares deeply for families faced with challenges as a result of work injuries.

“When someone is hurt on the job, it impacts the lives of everyone who loves and depends on that person,” says Emily. “Where employers and their insurance companies see only case numbers and statistics, I see real people and I fight for them.”
