Justin Daniel Studstill was born and raised in Nashville, Georgia. He graduated from Berrien County High School before studying political science at nearby Valdosta State University. Justin graduated cum laude from Mercer University’s Walter F. George School of law, with a final GPA that put him in the top 8% of his class. Justin got an early introduction to the personal injury law when he began clerking for the established O’Neal, Brown & Clark law firm in Macon. This work experience throughout law school gave Justin a solid foundation for his career as a trial lawyer. After graduating from law school, Justin and his wife, Haynes, moved to Atlanta. Justin took a position with a defense firm, Balch & Bingham, LLP, and had the opportunity to work alongside several great lawyers. Justin worked on a variety of defense matters during his term at Balch & Bingham, LLP. His experience there helped solidify his desire to return to the plaintiff’s practice. After 2 years of defense work, Justin returned to O’Neal, Brown & Clark in Macon and dedicated his practice to helping injury and wrongful death victims. The experience he gained working with a defense firm gives him valuable insight that he now uses in the pursuit of justice from the other side. Ultimately, Justin’s desire to return to his roots in South Georgia led him to move his family to Valdosta in 2012. Subsequently, Justin joined his wife, Haynes, and his father, Danny, in their law practice at the Studstill Firm. Justin and Haynes have four children and enjoy spending time outdoors in their free time. Hunting and fishing has always been a favorite hobby of Justin’s and he loves sharing those activities with his children.
