Governor Jackson, III

Since the firm’s inception in 2004, Governor Jackson III has litigated complex civil claims resulting in multi-million-dollar recoveries for clients against health care providers and private companies. These claims for compensation are related to issues ranging from brain injury and failure to diagnose medical conditions to false imprisonment and negligent hiring/retention. Governor also uses his legal acumen to advise businesses on transactional matters with an eye toward litigation to ensure that his corporate clients are fully informed of the relevant risks involved in any deal or decision. He is licensed to practice in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Texas and is also licensed to practice before the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court.

Governor began his legal career in Baltimore, Maryland, at the City Solicitor’s Office of Baltimore City. While at the City Solicitor’s Office, Governor honed his advocacy skills in the prosecution and defense of civil cases involving the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, including the lawsuit resulting from the 2001 Howard Street Tunnel derailment, Mayor and City Council v. CSX Transportation, which resulted in a $2,000,000 recovery for the City including payment of municipal agency response costs. He was also tasked with directing the defense and settlement of a $32,000,000 putative class-action lawsuit filed against the Baltimore City Police Department by former officers alleging race discrimination in implementing formal discipline. Originally from Dallas, Texas, Governor holds a B.A. in Business Administration from the University of Tulsa and is a graduate of the University of Maryland School of Law.
