"Dunn Law is pleased to welcome Jerrod to the team," says Michael Dunn. "In addition to his substantive experience and valuable insight, Jerrod is a pleasure to work with and a well-respected member of our legal community."
Jerrod attended Auburn University Montgomery and received his Juris Doctor from the University of Alabama. Following law school, he completed a 2-year clerkship with the Hon. William R. Sawyer, Chief Bankruptcy Judge for the Middle District of Alabama. In the years prior to joining Dunn Law, Jerrod worked as an attorney at Jones Walker LLP.
He recently served as pro bono counsel in state court criminal resentencing under the application of Graham v. Florida, 560 U.S. 48 (2010), where the defendant was previously sentenced to life without parole for offenses committed while he was a minor. Through the pro bono representation, the defendant's sentence was reduced to 35 years in compliance with Graham and the 8th Amendment.
Jerrod is admitted to the Florida Bar (2015) and the Alabama Bar (2012). He has practiced in state and federal courts in the Southern District of Florida and in Alabama. He is eligible to practice before the U.S. District Courts in the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida and the Southern, Middle and Northern Districts of Alabama as well as the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts in these districts in Florida and Alabama. He is a member of the Bankruptcy Bar Association for the Southern District of Florida.
And so there is no confusion, despite getting a law degree from Alabama, Jerrod was raised and remains a lifelong Auburn fan.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
