Bill Buchanan | Attorney
Bill Buchanan was born in Columbus, Georgia on September 26, 1980, and has lived in Columbus for much of his life.

Bill’s practice focuses on personal injury litigation. Before founding Bill Buchanan, LLC, Bill practiced with the general civil litigation law firm of Buchanan & Land, LLP (also in Columbus) for nearly ten years. While at Buchanan & Land, LLP, Bill among other things defended a large insurance company’s insureds and represented injured Plaintiffs in personal injury cases. This extensive experience on “both sides of the aisle” enabled him to develop a unique perspective and approach to personal injury cases.
Bill’s legal experience encompasses a wide variety of areas including construction law, OSHA Regulations, medical malpractice, wrongful death, nursing home litigation, personal injury litigation (including motor vehicle accident and slip and fall cases), appeals of taxing authority assessments and valuations, landlord-tenant, class action cases, and appellate law practice. He also has experience with the alternative dispute resolution procedures of mediation and arbitration.
