About Charles
Charles A. Wetherington Jr. P.C. a/k/a Wetherington Law Firm is a general practice law firm located in Valdosta, Ga. Charlie Wetherington has been practicing law since 1989 when he graduated from the University of Georgia School of Law. After spending 14 years at the well-respected Valdosta law firm of Langdale and Vallotton, where he attained the rank of managing partner, Wetherington formed his own law firm in 2003. Wetherington practices in the areas of Civil litigation, Criminal defense, Divorce and family law, Personal Injury and wrongful death, Probate, Real Estate, Small business representation and Traffic law.
Wetherington has been involved in several noteworthy cases which generated press coverage in South Georgia and North Florida including the Brooks County murder case known as the "Tattoo man murder"; a drug case in which his client was arrested on I-75 transporting 52 kilos of cocaine, after which he escaped from jail when his associates used explosives to blow a hole in the wall, and he was thereafter captured by U.S. Marshalls in the nation of Columbia; a 1998 Valdosta murder case involving an alleged "gang hit" whereby all charges were dismissed following a week-long trial; a Ware County case involving a teacher accused of possessing child pornography; a 2003 week-long double murder trial in Brooks County which ended in a hung jury and was retried in its entirety in 2004; a 2005 robbery case involving an All-State football player who received a probated sentence; a 2005 jury acquittal of a group home parent accused of multiple counts of child molestation and sodomy; and a 2008 jury acquittal of a teacher accused of sexual battery and child molestation. Wetherington is currently representing two teachers, accused of committing sexual offenses, in unrelated cases in two South Georgia counties.
Wetherington routinely represents Valdosta State University students with cases pending in the Municipal Courts for the cities of Valdosta and Remerton as well as travelers from I-75 charged with offenses in the State and Superior Courts.
Wetherington has also been co-counsel on civil cases for personal injury and wrongful death claims where settlements of hundreds of thousands of dollars were reached.
Wetherington is a fifth generation Valdostan, and he and his wife are very involved in the community. They are the proud parents of a beautiful little girl.
