Jewkes is the founder and managing attorney of jewkesfirm, a results-driven personal injury law firm serving clients all across Georgia, including Fayette County, Coweta County, and the greater Atlanta area. With nearly two decades of legal experience, Jordan brings a rare and valuable perspective to personal injury litigation — before representing injured individuals, he worked as an insurance defense attorney. This background gives him critical insight into how insurance companies evaluate claims, defend lawsuits, and attempt to minimize payouts.
Today, Jordan uses that insider knowledge to level the playing field for victims of car accidents, trucking crashes, slip and falls, wrongful death, medical and dental malpractice, and other serious injuries. His clients benefit from a strategy-driven approach that anticipates insurance tactics and aggressively pursues maximum compensation. His results speak for themselves, having secured millions in compensation for his clients.
ATTORNEY AT LAW
The Jewkes Firm secured a landmark $1.9 million jury verdict for a 66-year-old man injured in a severe rear-end collision caused by a commercial truck on Georgia Highway 92 South. After a multi-day trial, the Butts County jury rejected the insurer’s low settlement offer, recognizing the lifelong impact of the client’s brain injury, vertigo, and chronic spinal pain.
This historic verdict—Butts County’s largest—reflects The Jewkes Firm’s commitment to holding insurance companies accountable and securing just compensation for serious injury victims. The case underscores the hidden dangers of rear-end crashes and the importance of experienced legal advocacy when insurers undervalue long-term damages.
