He joined the Kentucky Bar Association in 2001 and has built a diverse legal career over the past two decades. The firm focuses on personal injury cases, but also handles criminal law, DUI & DWI, bankruptcy, business law, employment law, appeals, insurance defense, and municipal law across the region.

Cases typically progress from initial consultations to negotiations with insurance companies, and — if necessary — litigation in court. His experience as a Grant County Prosecutor from 2003 to 2006 has also enriched his understanding of criminal law.
This lets the attorney effectively represent clients facing serious charges. Before becoming a partner at Gatlin Voelker in 2016, he held various roles, including managing shareholder and lawyer. His experience includes a significant tenure as a lawyer since 2001, where he developed a reputation for thorough preparation and strategic case management. He has also worked in the public sector, which gives him insight into municipal law matters. Jack is a member of several legal associations, including the Ohio State Bar Association and the Cincinnati Bar Association.
His involvement in these organizations allows him to stay updated on legal trends and network with other professionals in the field. He is also actively engaged with the Grant County Bar Association and the Northern Kentucky Bar Association, contributing to his local legal community. In addition to his legal practice, Jack is committed to serving his community. He often participates in local events and educational programs, sharing his knowledge of the law with others.
