Best Lawyers: Ones to WatchCommercial Litigation, 2023 to 2027
A seasoned litigator who works with you directly.
I'm Jacquelyn “Jacquie” Thomas. I handle civil litigation, contracts, family law, estate planning and property matters for individuals and businesses in Marietta, Metro Atlanta and North Georgia.
Why I opened my own practice
I've practiced civil litigation at both large and small law firms. I started J. Thomas Law to give my clients a more direct and flexible approach to legal representation.
I represent individuals and business entities in both state and federal courts. Beyond the courtroom, I advise clients on the risks of potential and ongoing litigation, and I bring a blend of creativity and pragmatism to each case.
How I can help
I represent both individuals and business entities. If you aren't sure where your issue fits, a 30-minute consultation is the place to start.
