Living off of a bag of trail mix, he got a job at a non-profit organization in Baltimore (long before anyone knew that being a community organizer could qualify you to become president). But it was while working at Clean Water Action that he met his future wife and honed many of the advocacy and negotiation skills he now puts to use for his clients.. Justin is married and has two children, two dogs, and various plants. When he isn’t chasing his children around the house, he enjoys reading novels and arguing with strangers on the internet.

His specialties are French toast, pancakes, and blueberry pie. He can also make a passable curry and is always trying to expand his culinary repertoire, mostly just so that he has an excuse to buy more kitchen gadgets..

During that time, he worked at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, where he worked on high stakes, creative, legal advocacy with a dedicated team of talented professionals dedicated to advancing the public good.

Justin says that as counsel for clients who have been harassed and discriminated against, his first job is to listen … and his second job is to listen some more. It’s important to him that his clients know they’re always respected and that he works hard to apply to their case every aspect of the law that protects them. He wants them to know that they have someone in their corner with the knowledge, skill, and experience to fight for their interests.

In law school, he participated in the Legal Clinic for Assistance to Service Members and Veterans and continued to assist the Legal Clinic as a supervising attorney after graduation. Since graduating, he has volunteered with the Wills for Heroes programs in Prince William and Fauquier counties (benefiting local police and other first responders) and has regularly presented programs on both basic and advanced estate planning to organized groups and members of the general public. At Arlington Law Group, he has reduced his litigation practice in order to focus on estate planning, client focused negotiations, and the creation of contracts and a wide variety of dispute resolution documents.  He continues to apply the lessons that he learned as a litigator to try to minimize potential future causes of conflict, and create positions of strength for clients involved in ongoing disputes.

Jack was a political science major at Virginia Tech before graduating magna cum laude from George Mason University School of Law. While there, he was a member of the Law Review, in which his note about court decisions affecting alternative dispute resolution, What’s in a Name? Why the Judicially-Named Grounds for Vacating Arbitral Awards Should Remain Available in Light of Hall Street, was selected for publication. He was also a member of the Trial Advocacy Board at GMUSL, and his team was a finalist in the American Bar Association’s Labor and Employment Section of the New York City Regional Trial Advocacy Competition.. Jack became interested in employment law when he clerked for an employment law firm during law school. He gained experience there with Title VII, False Claims Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and retaliation claims from initial negotiations through appeals.. Over the years, he has worked on cases ranging from multimillion-dollar breach of contract and business organization suits … to securing a neutral reference for a teacher moving from private to public school … to ensuring that a clothing designer got a severance package to open a small business. He believes in dedicating himself to whatever is necessary to do high quality work, even if it means long hours, and he maintains the strategic mindset of a trial lawyer even when he expects a case to settle. Jack is a particularly persuasive writer, especially when complex issues are involved. He has drafted winning arguments for trial court motions, as well as a successful appeal in Maryland state court.. In his spare time, Jack likes to hike and fish in the mountains surrounding the Shenandoah Valley and on the Shenandoah River. He enjoys playing golf and softball, but also likes to kick back and read a good book or watch television. His favorite author is Cormac McCarthy, and his favorite TV show is “Breaking Bad.” His favorite sport is baseball, and he has thrown warm-up pitches in the Nationals Park bullpen – alas, not as a pro baseball player but as part of a tour.

I’ve chosen the areas of law for my practice which allow me to help everyday people with their legal problems in the way I would want to be helped if I were in their position. Litigation, in particular, is extremely stressful and very costly. Sometimes, it is the only way to resolve the issues at hand, other times it is not. With that in mind, I work to help my clients look at their situations in different ways and together, approach the case/matter by comparing the client’s goals with the available processes. This approach frequently allows my clients to resolve their legal matters to their satisfaction, in a way they had never considered and with a sense of peace.

I am also licensed to practice in the Western District of Washington and 9th circuit court of appeals in federal court.

By focusing my practice on a select number of catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, rather than focusing on volume, I am able to devote the individual attention that each client deserves. As a result, the vast majority of my clients are referrals from other lawyers, judges and members of the community.
