Jeff Nickerson

Biography

Jeff is a B.A. graduate of highly rated Amherst College, and a J.D. graduate of the University of Florida College of Law. After graduating law school, for two years he served as law clerk for the Hon. Sidney O. Smith, Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. For the next seventeen years Jeff was an associate and then, for over twelve of those years, a partner at one of Georgia’s most prestigious downtown Atlanta law firms.

While there he focused primarily on litigation: insurance defense, real estate, electric utility, general business disputes and antitrust, conducting many high-dollar jury trials. Subsequently, Jeff represented people as a sole practitioner, primarily in plaintiff’s personal injury, insurance subrogation, civil rights, and community management associations.

Mr. Nickerson’s considerable legal ability has allowed for millions of dollars in recoveries for his clients, and he lends his vast experience by teaching trial skills to aspiring law students in the Atlanta area.
