Jason represents clients in their most complex and high-stakes disputes.  He has represented – and litigated against – numerous Fortune 500 companies, government agencies (including federal agencies, the State of Georgia, and municipalities), high tech/software companies, real estate developers, law firms, accounting firms, and corporate executives.  Jason has significant experience in highly sensitive matters, including those with potential criminal implications or involving highly confidential or personal matters.  

Jason has unique experience for a litigator, earning two degrees in accounting, passing the CPA exam, and teaching accounting to law students.  This experience makes him a go-to lawyer for cases that have complex accounting, damages, or valuation issues, as well as for cases involving financial fraud.  Jason has repeatedly been recognized as a “Georgia Super Lawyer” in Business Litigation by Law & Politics and Atlanta Magazine, and he has been named to Georgia Trend’s Legal Elite for General Practice and Trial Law.

Jason has significant court, trial, arbitration, and appellate experience.  He has handled the most difficult cross-examinations and oral arguments and knows how to present his client’s position in a way that best resonates with a judge, jury, or arbitrator.  In a recent highly contentious case (with a large international firm on the other side), a client may have best summarized Jason’s effectiveness when the client stated that:

Jason’s performance in front of the judge was nothing short of spectacular.  His thoughtful, humble but well-prepared style resonated with the Judge versus the other side’s slick approach.  He’s done a fantastic job with this case.  I’ve been in business for a long time, and litigation is not new to me.  I can honestly say that I have never been more satisfied and impressed with a lawyer and a firm.

Jason is licensed to practice in Georgia and Florida and has litigated in many other states throughout the country, ranging from New Jersey to South Dakota.  Most recently, Jason has handled significant litigation matters involving:

  • Highly sensitive governmental investigations, kickback schemes, embezzlement, and other complex frauds
  • Breach of contract and real estate disputes
  • Misappropriation of trade secrets and confidential information and other technology-related disputes
  • Business divorces and disputes among business partners and business investors
  • Legal and accounting malpractice (plaintiff and defense)
  • Breach of fiduciary duty 
  • Executive representation (regarding termination and severance)
  • Non-compete and non-solicitation agreements
  • Family disputes involving significant family assets
  • Trusts and estates

Jason also has experience in unique matters. For example, Jason was appointed by the United States District Court to serve (and is currently serving) as a Receiver for a company sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In that case, the Receivership has already returned over $12 million (70% of investors’ money) to victims of a Ponzi scheme. In addition, Jason previously served as counsel for the State of Georgia in litigation against the major tobacco companies, which resulted in a settlement that provided Georgia with approximately $56 million in 2013 from the tobacco companies and ensures continued payments to the state in the future. Jason also has served as a Deputy Special Attorney General – appointed by Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue – to team with other attorneys to represent Georgia in challenging the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (known as “Obamacare”).

Jason is currently on the Board of Advisors for the Atlanta Lawyers Division of the Federalist Society after serving as President of the Atlanta Lawyers Division from 2010-2011. He also participated in the Anti-Defamation League’s Glass Leadership Institute, a nationally recognized leadership development program for the Anti-Defamation League. In addition, Jason has served on the Board of Directors of the Young Lawyers Division of the State Bar of Georgia and served as an adjunct professor at the University of Georgia School of Law.

Jason earned his law degree from the University of Georgia School of Law, where he served as Editor-in-Chief of the Georgia Law Review and as Vice President of the Student Bar Association. He received a Master in Professional Accounting and a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Texas at Austin.

Upon graduating law school, Jason clerked for the Honorable Phyllis Kravitch of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Atlanta, Georgia. After his clerkship, Jason practiced at Sutherland Asbill & Brennan. Jason is originally from south Florida before moving to Atlanta and graduating high school from Pace Academy.

Examples of cases tried to conclusion in arbitration include representation of:

  • A sports league whose former partner wrongfully took and used thousands of our client’s customer contacts to start a competing league. We obtained an emergency injunction from state court in order to prevent the former partner from using the league’s customer information. The case was subsequently arbitrated, where our client won a permanent injunction and monetary damages.

After extensive discovery and numerous depositions, the case settled before the summary judgment deadline. The terms of the settlement are confidential, and the dealership remains in business.

  • A healthcare executive who was terminated from his position as CEO of a major health insurance company. The defendant company claimed that the executive had been terminated “for cause” and refused to make contractual severance payments. We filed suit and after discovery concluded we achieved a confidential settlement for our client.
  • Employees of a technology company who started a new company and were sued for violating a non-compete and non-solicit agreement. The case settled before discovery, with the employees being able to continue business with their new company under the settlement agreement.
