About Blair
Blair Chintella practices law in Georgia and is authorized to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. She is a lawyer who works across state and federal matters, handling filings and arguments tied to those jurisdictions. Her work combines written advocacy and courtroom appearances, and she maintains a practice rooted in procedural and appellate work.
She earned her Juris Doctor from Georgia State University College of Law in 2008 after beginning her studies in 2005. Her time at Georgia State placed her in the middle of Atlanta's legal community during law school years, exposing her to both litigation clinics and local court procedures. The degree provided the foundation for courtroom practice and appellate procedure that followed.
Following law school, Chintella entered practice in Georgia. She holds authorization to practice before Georgia state courts and the Eleventh Circuit. That dual authorization allows her to manage matters that start in state trial courts and proceed to federal appellate review when federal questions arise or when appeals find their way into the federal appellate system.
Her experience covers the mechanics of appeals: preparing briefs, crafting standards-of-review arguments, and handling oral argument when cases progress that far. On the trial side, she works on filings, motions, and hearings necessary to preserve issues for appeal. The work requires close attention to record development in trial courts and careful timing of appellate filings.
Clients consult her on issues that intersect state and federal law. She often addresses procedural challenges that can determine whether an appeal will proceed, and she assists in shaping the litigation record to support later review. Her practice also involves responding to complex procedural questions that arise in appellate practice and federal court matters.
As of 2026, Chintella practices in Georgia and before the Eleventh Circuit, concentrating on appellate and trial matters arising in those courts.
