About
According to the firm’s website, founders Jordan Meeks and Jacob Jones met as classmates and roommates at Syracuse University College of Law, where they competed together in trial competitions. After graduating, they practiced separately for approximately eight years-Jordan in California and Jacob in Florida-gaining litigation experience before relocating to Nashville to establish the firm together. The website notes that both attorneys previously worked for major insurance companies, civil defense firms, and state prosecutors’ offices, and that they have “litigated hundreds of personal injury and criminal cases.”
The firm emphasizes that “experience matters” and presents its partnership as built on “deep trust and camaraderie.” It positions its knowledge of both prosecutors’ tactics and insurance company strategies as a key differentiator.
