Jacob’s desire to become an attorney began during his undergraduate days while helping a close family friend pursue justice through the legal system. With his friend’s experience always on his mind, he passionately advocates for his clients in civil litigation matters as an attorney at Hedrick Gardner.
Jacob represents corporate and individual clients in a variety of matters, including personal injury, real estate malpractice, product liability, property disputes, product defect litigation, employment litigation, and construction defects.
As a student at Campbell University School of Law, Jacob approached his work with the same passion and dedication that he provides to clients. He served as the Chief Justice of Cambell’s Honor Court as well as Vice President of Lambda Law where he collaborated with faculty and staff to strengthen diversity in recruitment initiatives, sought increased applications from LGBTQ+ members, and created a community that was truly reflective of the student body. In addition to developing his leadership skills while in law school, Jacob worked on his legal skills by interning at several North Carolina law firms, experiences that helped strengthen his skills in civil litigation.
When not advocating for clients, Jacob enjoys reading, spending time with his partner, practicing hot yoga, discovering new restaurants, and vacationing in his favorite cities: Duck, North Carolina and New York City, New York. As a proud gay man, he also volunteers his time to LGBTQIA+ organizations within the community in efforts to bring queer representation to the forefront of the political landscape.
