Jason L. Nohr (“Jay”) has over fifteen years of experience handling complex civil litigation matters in the state and federal trial courts of Georgia with an emphasis on representing individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, and financial loss.

Mr. Nohr's areas of concentration and experience includes professional negligence, medical malpractice, catastrophic injuries, birth injury and trauma, including injuries to children as result of medical and nursing negligence, nursing home and elder abuse litigation, negligence, premises liability, personal injury, and motor vehicle and trucking collisions. Mr. Nohr also represents clients in complex business litigation and commercial disputes, including erosion and sediment control and storm water regulation and disputes, and has been selected by parties to arbitrate several such cases.

Mr. Nohr is also experienced in the area of securities litigation and arbitration, having represented hundreds of defrauded investors in both forums, as well as serving on arbitration panels that have decided such cases. He represents court-appointed receivers in several federal court actions filed to recover investor funds lost from securities fraud, fraudulent transfers, and elaborate Ponzi schemes. In addition to his experience representing victims of securities fraud claims, he has also served as an NASD (now The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) arbitrator appointed to resolve allegations of securities fraud, suitability, and breach of fiduciary duty claims against brokers and the brokerage industry.

Mr. Nohr is also an experienced appellate advocate with successful appeals in the Georgia Supreme Court, Georgia Court of Appeals, and Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, including several cases of first impression in Georgia. One of those appeals involves the first case in Georgia to consider whether an arbitration clause could be enforced to deny the family of a deceased nursing home resident their day in court before a jury. Mr. Nohr successfully defeated the nursing home’s efforts to force the case to arbitration, thereby helping to preserve the right to a jury trial for all Georgia nursing home residents and their family members. See Ashburn Health Care Center Inc. v. Poole, 286 Ga. App. 24, 648 S.E.2d 430 (2007).

Following his graduation from the University of Georgia Law School in 1995, Mr. Nohr began his legal career litigating death penalty cases at the trial and appellate level in Frankfort, Kentucky. He subsequently handled a wide variety of complex civil litigation matters while serving as a staff attorney for the judges of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia from 1997 to 1999.

Mr. Nohr is admitted to practice in the United States Supreme Court, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, all United States District Courts for the Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia, the Georgia Supreme Court, the Georgia Court of Appeals, and all Georgia trial Courts. He is a member of the American Association of Justice (Member: Birth Trauma Litigation, Medical Negligence Exchange Network, and Nursing Home Sections), the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, the Cobb County Bar Association, and served as an officer for the Cobb County Trial Lawyers Association, including as its President from 2007 to 2008.
