“We came to Jamison and RM through a referral from another law firm and we are so happy to have found him. As with any legal situation, time is usually of the essence and Jamison immediately worked on our case. He listened to our needs and desire to reach an amicable resolution with the other party. After a few short days of him navigating things on our behalf, we reached a resolution that both parties were satisfied with. Jamison was very professional, offering his opinion on the matter, and guiding us in moments that are often driven by emotion. We hope we never need his services again but we will not hesitate to use Jamison again if the need arises!”

Trial Lawyer for High-Stakes Disputes

Jamison Joiner is a trial lawyer who fights for individuals and businesses when the stakes are highest. Jamison represents plaintiffs and defendants in all manner of commercial cases in federal and state courts across the country. Lawdragon has recognized Jamison as one of the young attorneys “who will define where the legal profession of our country goes.”

Jamison’s specialty is persuading judges and juries regardless of the subject matter—from general commercial litigation to IP and trademark disputes to False Claims Act litigation, and everything in between. Simply put, Jamison focuses on advocacy, not any one area of the law.

This generalist approach, combined with meticulous preparation, allows Jamison to quickly digest complicated legal and technical issues and transform them into clear, persuasive stories that resonate with judges and juries.

“Jamison is an excellent trial lawyer, strategic thinker, and talented writer,” says the former General Counsel of Sanderson Farms, Jason Varnado. “He distinguishes himself from his peers by being more creative, more practical, and a better courtroom advocate. He’s professional, he’s responsive, and he delivers.”
