About Jason Michael
Jason Michael McLendon is an attorney admitted to practice in Georgia and before two federal appellate courts. He is authorized to appear in the Eleventh Circuit and the Federal Circuit. He maintains a professional presence in the Marietta office where he manages filings and court appearances that require federal and state admission.
His admissions to the Eleventh Circuit and the Federal Circuit mark him as someone equipped to handle appellate-level procedures. The Eleventh Circuit covers federal appeals from Georgia, Florida and Alabama. The Federal Circuit is a specialized appellate court that hears certain categories of federal claims. Those credentials allow him to prepare appellate briefs, handle procedural requests and file matters that originate at the trial level in Georgia and proceed to federal review.
Colleagues describe the daily work in his Marietta office as a mix of document drafting, procedural strategy and client counseling. He spends time preparing written work product for courts where federal rules and appellate standards govern the outcome. That work requires attention to deadlines and the rules that shape appellate advocacy. It also requires translating trial records into arguments that a panel of judges can consider on appeal.
Outside the courtroom filings, much of his practice involves coordinating the technical steps that keep appeals moving. That can mean managing the record on appeal, ensuring briefs conform to page and formatting limits, and filing the procedural motions that appellate practice demands. Being admitted in multiple jurisdictions gives him the ability to follow a matter as it moves between state and federal channels when necessary.
His presence in Marietta situates him near a number of trial courts in the northern Atlanta region. That geographic base supports work that begins in local trial courts and progresses into federal appellate review. His admissions also give him the ability to engage with matters that arise out of administrative agencies and specialized federal forums on occasion.
In day-to-day terms he counsels clients on appellate timelines and remedies, drafts appellate pleadings and manages the filing processes across the jurisdictions where he is admitted. He currently handles matters before state and federal appellate courts.
