Joseph “Joey” E. Burtner joined James Bates Brannan Groover LLP in the winter of 2022. His practice focuses on both commercial and civil litigation matters such as contract, municipal government, and insurance defense.
Joey is originally from Macon, Georgia, and is grateful to move back after law school. He earned his B.A. in Accounting from Mercer University, graduating in 2006. After completing his undergraduate work, Joey spent his 20’s as an entrepreneur in Macon’s bar and restaurant scene downtown.
Desiring a change of pace, Joey left Macon to pursue a graduate degree from Wake Forest University and spending the next few years in the field of corporate sustainability, primarily focusing on monetizing waste streams. This field often encountered legal issues, which pushed Joey to switch careers again to become an attorney.
After Hours
Joey currently resides in Macon, Georgia. He enjoys travel, photography, building furniture in his workshop and spending time on Lake Tobesofkee.
