About Jacob
Jacob Strawn built his path to the law in Memphis. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Memphis in 2013, then stayed in town for a Juris Doctor at the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law, graduating in 2016. Those years in Memphis shaped his early work habits and introduced him to the practical demands of practice.
After law school he moved into private practice in the region. Over time he developed steady courtroom experience and took on matters that required both negotiation and formal litigation. He has also maintained memberships in professional associations that connect local attorneys and provide continuing education; he remains an active participant in those networks.
Colleagues describe Strawn as pragmatic in court and methodical in preparation. He combines directness in client meetings with careful attention to the procedural details that shape outcomes in state cases. His work involves drafting pleadings, arguing motions, and preparing cases for trial when settlement is not an option. He also spends time counseling clients about options and next steps when disputes arise.
Strawn's background in Memphis public life and law school clinics helped him learn to explain complex legal points in plain language. That skill shows up when he meets new clients and when he prepares witnesses for hearings. He approaches each file on its own terms and adapts strategy to match the facts and the governing law.
He is based at Spicer Rudstrom, PLLC, where he practices among a team of attorneys handling a range of matters. His calendar often includes contested hearings and negotiated resolutions. He prepares written arguments for judges, conducts depositions, and manages discovery so that cases are presented efficiently.
Outside the office he contributes time to legal education programs offered through bar groups and attends seminars to keep current on changes in state practice and procedure. He does not publish frequently, but he draws on practical courtroom experience when advising clients and colleagues.
In his current practice at Spicer Rudstrom, PLLC, Strawn focuses on representing individuals and businesses in state and local matters, balancing courtroom work with client counseling.
