Jackson Neal
Partner
Jack never wanted to be anything but a lawyer. He learned the value of hard work and integrity at a young age and has carried those traits with him throughout his career for the benefit of every client he serves.
As a founding partner of GNSB, Jack brings more than a decade of experience as a trial lawyer across a broad range of matters with a particular focus on complex and civil litigation. He has successfully represented both plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts across Alabama.
Jack’s specialties include construction litigation and indemnity actions, contract disputes, fraud, products liability, premises liability, outrage, and commercial transportation matters. In addition to his litigation practice, Jack also counsels individuals and corporate clients on matters involving business formation, corporate structure, and contracts.
He also has experience in defending individuals in criminal proceedings as the first 18 months of his career were spent as an attorney at the Jefferson County Public Defender’s Office.
Jack’s precise focus, relentless work ethic, and friendly demeanor serve as the foundation of his success as a trial lawyer. As a speaker, he is deliberate and unflinching. Jack's presence in the courtroom has consistently earned the respect of his peers and clients. While he enjoys the challenge of thinking on his feet at trial, Jack's negotiating skills often result in many of his cases resolving before they ever see the inside of a courthouse
A Birmingham native, Jack is a devoted husband to his wife and dad to their two children. When he is not in the office or the courtroom, Jack loves spending time at his family’s farm and chasing ducks across the southeastern United States between the months of November and February. He is also known to spend Fall Saturdays cheering a little too hard for the Crimson Tide.
