Trial work, more than any other area of law, benefits clients in their greatest time of need,” says Ms. Jones. “I am a trial lawyer because I enjoy being able to help people though difficult, life-changing situations – to help them see the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s easy to be passionate about your work and the law when you know that the end result you’re working for will have a huge impact on the rest of your client’s life.

Linley Jones is one of Atlanta’s most accomplished trial lawyers. She is the first woman lawyer in the United States to be board certified in legal malpractice by the American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys (an ABA-approved certification board). She has an AV rating, the highest professional rating available from the Martindale-Hubbell Lawyers Directory. With 25 years of experience, she practices primarily in the areas of legal malpractice, personal injury and wrongful death.

Raised on St. Simons Island, Georgia, Ms. Jones moved to Washington, D.C. during high school to work as a Senate page for the United States Senate Judiciary Committee and then started college at age 16 as a Kemper Scholar at Emory University where she received her B.A. in political science.

Ms. Jones appeared on CNN over 100 times as a Senior Legal Analyst (in addition to practicing law), and has also appeared on many other local and national programs. 

After hours, Ms. Jones serves as a City Councilmember in the City of Brookhaven, Georgia.
