In this episode of Lawyers Who Care, host Andrew Sammel sits down with Jenaye Peterson, founder and managing partner at JM Law in Atlanta, Georgia. Jenaye shares her inspiring journey from being the first in her family to pursue law to becoming a trial attorney who secured a $2.65 million jury verdict in her very first trial.
Jenaye is a passionate attorney who focuses on personal injury law and expungements. She believes in giving clients a second chance at life, combining strong legal advocacy with a heart for service. As a preacher’s kid with deep community ties, she has built her practice on empathy, resilience, and relentless dedication to justice.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How an English teacher sparked Jenaye’s dream of becoming a lawyer.
Why she chose personal injury law over criminal defense.
The importance of expungements in giving people a fresh start.
The story behind her first-ever jury trial win of $2.65 million.
Why she believes lawyers should go above and beyond for their clients.
Her powerful message on kindness, legacy, and making people feel valued.
In Jenaye’s words, “People don’t remember you for what you did or how much money you made. They remember you for how you made them feel.”
