About Mathew Austin
Mathew Austin Jackson began his professional journey at the University of Georgia, part of the University System of Georgia. He continued his legal education at the University of South Carolina School of Law, where he earned his law degree before entering private practice.
Jackson has built a practice that spans two state systems. He is admitted to practice in both Georgia and South Carolina. He also holds admissions in the federal courts serving those states, including the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia.
In 2013 he took on the role of principal owner at M. Austin Jackson Lawyer at Law. That year marked a transition from associate roles into leading his own firm. As principal owner, he has managed firm operations while overseeing client matters. The office locations are listed under the firm name.
Over the years Jackson has maintained memberships in several professional associations. He is a current member of the South Carolina Bar Association and the Augusta Bar Association. He also retains membership in national and regional court bars tied to his federal admissions. These memberships have kept him connected to developments in court procedures and state bar rules.
Jackson’s courtroom work occurs in both state and federal settings. He regularly files cases and appears on behalf of clients in South Carolina and Georgia courts. His federal admissions allow him to handle matters that proceed beyond state jurisdiction. He balances courtroom appearances with case management and client counseling back at the office.
Colleagues describe him as procedural and direct in approach. He tends to emphasize clear preparation and steady courtroom presence. That approach shapes how he prepares pleadings and conducts hearings. He also handles pretrial matters, motions practice, and client consultations, adapting his strategy to the procedural posture of each case.
Outside of litigation the firm handles typical law office responsibilities that include case intake, document review, and settlement negotiations when appropriate. Jackson supervises those processes and remains the primary contact for many clients.
He currently practices through M. Austin Jackson Lawyer at Law and handles litigation and related legal work across Georgia and South Carolina, appearing in both state and federal courts as needed.
