About Steven

Over 25 Years of Personal Injury Experience. Aggressive Representation & Dedicated to Your Case.

Steven Jackson was born in Hartford, Connecticut, and grew up in Sandy Springs, Georgia.  After graduating from Riverwood High School in 1983, he attended Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in History.  He attended law school at the Georgia State University College of Law in Atlanta, Georgia and was admitted to the Georgia Bar in 1991.  Steven began practicing law in 1991, and honed his trial skills in the courtroom as an assistant Public Defender at the Fulton County Defender of the Indigent from 1992 - 1994.  After gaining this invaluable experience, Steve shifted his attention to civil litigation, and he opened his current law office in 1995.  Steven Jackson is admitted to practice law in all Magistrate, State and Superior courts in Georgia, as well as the Northern District of Georgia.  Steven’s practice also includes appeals to the Georgia Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Georgia. 

 

Steven Jackson is passionate about protecting the rights of individuals who are victims of both negligence and the intentional improper conduct of others leading to injury through no fault of their own.  Mr. Jackson has spent many years fighting insurance companies who attempt to deny claimants the benefits and compensation that they are rightfully entitled to for their injuries and other losses.  It has been Steve’s mission, for many years, to provide outstanding representation to his clients that results in his clients receiving the fullest extent of benefits available to them. 

 

When Steve isn’t working to protect the rights of his clients, he enjoys spending his time with his wife and two daughters, spends time running and cycling, and he is active in his community serving as a volunteer in both aging services and Family and Children’s Services, and he enjoys traveling and skiing with his family.

      Review Steven Jackson

      Excellent Experience! Would readily recommend or retain again.

      Posted by

      Steven did an excellent job handling my case. He followed up promptly and frequently with doctors that were being less than cooperative and responsive in regards to treatment. He advocated strongly for me exhausting all possible avenues, both medically and legally. In the end, the results of my case far exceeded my expectations. I credit this in full to Steven's attention to details, compassion for my situation, and determined attitude in assuring that no stone was left unturned. Mr. Jackson and his staff were forthright and clear in explaining the details of the legalities, the fees and methods of litigation, and properly set expectations for results. At no point did I feel that I was mislead in any aspect of my case. At all times, I had full confidence in Mr. Jackson's actions and intentions, as well as those of his staff. Speaking of Mr. Jackson's office staff, everyone I interacted with was very helpful and easy to work with. Amanda in particular was extremely courteous and prompt in all of our interactions. I would recommend Steven to friends, families, or colleagues who were faced with either bodily injury or workers compensation claims (I had both). While I hope that I never have to face an issue of this nature again, I would readily retain Mr. Jackson to represent me again. On a final personal note, Mr Jackson is a legitimately compassionate and caring attorney. The irony is not lost on me that my attorney had significantly better bedside manner than my physician. During times when I would become frustrated with the physicians, treatments, or complications of the case, Steven did an excellent job of reassuring me and working diligently to ensure that the physicians were giving me the appropriate levels of treatment and attention. Steven excels at maintaining a professional decorum and giving sound legal advice, but does so with positive attitude, a sense of compassion, and a very friendly disposition.

      Steven Jackson: Highly Recommended

      Once Steve took over, I was really able to forget about the case and just focus on healing from the accident. He took care of the rest. He and his team worked with hospitals and insurance companies to settle all claims. He updated me constantly -- often via personal phone calls or emails. He was always very transparent about the process. Thanks to him and his team I was actually awarded more handsomely than I imagined I would. More importantly to me though, he took care of everything and let me recuperate. He and his team did a tremendous job, and I'm very thankful for that.

      Steven Jackson is the best!

      I was injured in a car accident July 2019 and my car was totaled out due to a reckless driver. I would contact my insurance company and the driver at faults insurance company every day for two weeks to try and get help with my knee and neck injuries but continued to go in circles with these insurance companies. Steven Jackson was referred to me by a family attorney and after speaking with Steven, he made me feel confident that he was going to make sure I was taken care of. The very next day after hiring Steven, I received a phone call that I had a doctor appointment with an orthopedic specialist to find out what my injuries were from the car accident. I was literally in tears and overwhelmed with joy that Steven was able to get me in with a doctor so soon! Steven checked in with me very often with updates on my case and went above and beyond to make sure my health was getting better. After a knee surgery and many hours of physical therapy, I was feeling fantastic all thanks to Steven Jackson working so hard on my case. In the end, we had a victorious outcome that I was extremely pleased about. Thank you so much Steven Jackson!

      A true bulldog! Passionate and determined

      Posted by

      My daughter was in an auto accident and suffered a traumatic brain injury. The lawyer I initially hired basically ghosted me and stopped communicating. I was beyond frustrated. Enter Steven Jackson. He was determined to right what was wrong. He moved quickly and secured a settlement within two months, even finding more money from the other driver involved. The previous lawyer had my case for nine months with zero results. Steve was more passionate and determined than anyone I’ve ever worked with. I don’t think there is any length he won’t go for his clients. He far exceeded my expectations and delivered as promised. He is knowledgeable. He answered every time I called. He kept me updated. He made me feel as if I was his only client. In the middle of caring for my daughter, he took the stress of a settlement away. You won’t go wrong if you go with Steve.

      I am so appreciative that Attorney Steven Jackson was referred to me by a friend of mine who he previously represented in a settlement case. She readily informed me that he is an excellent lawyer and that I would be happy to have him represent me. I realized years ago, that all attorneys do not have their clients benefits in their best interest. However, Attorney Jackson was very professional and I was regularly informed regarding the status of my case. I was impressed that he promptly followed through on any concerns I had regarding my case. I was most impressed that my settlement exceeded my expectation. I am so relieved that he is a professional and seasoned lawyer who was able to not only consult and represent me but follow through on all my expectations. He is one of Atlanta’s BEST KEPT SECRETS!!!

      He made a bad situation so much easier and better

      Posted by

      We were in a car accident and did not want to have to deal with the insurance company and all of their games. Steven took care of everything and dealt with the hospitals and doctors offices and insurance company so that we could heal and not have to worry about that stuff. He is extremely knowledgable and we greatly appreciated his expertise on so many subjects related to our case.

      Great Lawyer

      Posted by

      Steven didn’t hesitate to take my case in spite of a low anticipated return and only 2 weeks to actually accomplish this before the statute of limitations expired. His only concern was justice for me . The compensation was ultimately just for my out of pocket expenses at the time of the bike accident. The goal was minimal stress and avoidance of a lawsuit at this time. He worked diligently to achieve this. I am so impressed. I wish I had known him 5 years ago!

      Excellent and Responsive

      Posted by

      Steven was great to work with! He was responsive even though he's in court a lot. He or a member of his staff always got back to me with updates as requested. He secured a settlement for my accident even though the insurance company paid for the total loss of my vehicle. I will definitely work with him again!

      Jon Lewis, Car accident Attorney on Dec 8, 2020
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      Steve and I have known each other for over thirty (30) years. We have worked on mutual cases, and I have personally seen how Steve handles his cases and represents his clients with enthusiasm, compassion, and aggressiveness. His results speak for themselves, but I highly recommend Steve for anyone looking for an attorney who puts his clients above all else and strives to obtain the most compensation possible.

      Lubin An, Personal injury Attorney on Dec 4, 2020
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      I have worked alongside Steven Jackson for over 12 years, and he is the most impressive personal injury lawyer that I have known. His passion and enthusiasm for every case that he handles is transparent and well-known to his fellow lawyers. I highly endorse Steven Jackson.

      Jack Rosenberg, Personal injury Attorney on Aug 30, 2020
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      I have known Steven Jackson for many years and recommend him without reservation. He is a dedicated and skilled lawyer who is highly respected for his abilities. Steven has achieved tremendous results for his clients and works hard for their benefit no matter the size of the case. I recently referred a case to Steven that was strong on liability but damages were low. He worked that case just as hard as if it was a 7 figure case, and the client was delighted with the justice she received. That is the true measure of a lawyer; seeking justice for their client, no matter the fee they receive.

      Jeffrey Grimm, Personal injury Attorney on Apr 18, 2018
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      I endorse this lawyer. I have known Steve for many years and he is a skilled, experienced attorney in the personal injury field.

      Ahmad Crews, Personal injury Attorney on Feb 12, 2018
      Relationship: Co-worker

      Steve is an personal injury expert. I have referred both family and friends to Steve due to his expertise and competence in matters regarding personal injury. From my time working around Steve, he provided client oriented representation to his clients and treated them all the same, regardless of the size of their potential claim. Steve's zeal for his clients is demonstrated through his work ethic. For example, Steve once had a client that received a check for his claim from Steve, however, during the representation the client mentioned a matter to Steve that was unrelated to the representation. Going above and beyond, Steve looked into the matter and obtained the client an additional unexpected check. Steve is an asset to the legal community!

      Henry Degive, Personal injury Attorney on Jan 4, 2018
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      Steve is an excellent attorney. He is extremely diligent, and has the rare ability to turn a marginal case into a solid one. He cares deeply about his clients.

      Sara Gheesling, Personal injury Attorney on Oct 31, 2017
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      Steve is a great attorney who works hard for his clients and gets amazing results. I trust him so much that I referred my own father to him recently and my father couldn't be happier with how his case was handled and how easy Steve made the entire process for him. I highly recommend him and will continue referring my clients (and family!) to him.

      Danielle Eliot, Personal injury Attorney on Sep 30, 2016

      Steve works very hard for his clients to obtain the best possible results. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personal injury attorney

      Steve is an honest lawyer who works tirelessly for his clients. He consistently strives to achieve the the best results possible for his clients.

      Carol Vacca, Personal injury Attorney on Feb 22, 2015
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      Truly one of the hardest working and respectable attorneys in the practice area of personal injury, Steven Jackson's track record speaks for itself. Just as impressive is his warm and personable demeanor that injects comfort throughout a process that can be traumatic for clients. There is no other who I would trust more than Mr. Jackson to handle my personal injury claims should I ever need one. In fact, I have referred my own family members and friends to him. I fully endorse Mr. Jackson.

      Michael Friedman, Personal injury Attorney on Feb 14, 2015
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      I have known and worked with Steven Jackson for over 20 years. He is a top rated personal injury attorney in Georgia. I have seen and experienced the professionalism and empathy he gives his clients. He is professional and tenacious with opposing counsel. I highly recommend Steven Jackson, and would hire him myself if the need arose.

      Scott King, Personal injury Attorney on Oct 28, 2014
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      I highly recommend Steve in the area of personal injury. Over the years, my firm has referred numerous clients to Steve to handle their personal injury cases. Steve has always achieved excellent results for my clients. I also highly recommend Steve in the area of wrongful death based upon my prior experience with his office through referrals we have made.

      Michael Waddington, Personal injury Attorney on Oct 16, 2012

      I endorse Steven. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community.

      I know Steve on both a personal and professional level. He not only is an amazing attorney but an incredible person. He never stops fighting for his clients which results in only the greatest outcomes. He is an honest, sincere and hard working person. If I ever were faced with a personal injury I would not hesitate for one moment to talk with Steve.

      Christopher Geel

      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Steve for 7 years now, and he has always impressed me with his advocacy on behalf of those who have been seriously injured. He is a tireless worker for his clients, and he strives to get them the best results possible, and he does not sell them short whatsover to benefit himself financially. He is an ethical and responsible lawyer who takes pride in his work. This is why I refer him all of my clients who are in the need of his types of services. He is also charismatic and very easy to get along with. When you hire Steve, you are in the right hands.
