Roy Harold (Hal) Meeks, Jr. has tried over one hundred bench and jury trials and binding arbitrations in his career in substantive areas including medical malpractice defense, securities defense, construction claims, commercial and contract disputes.  His current practice is divided among health care litigation, including medical malpractice defense, construction litigation,  and a myriad of other disputes facing business clients.  He also has extensive experience representing securities firms and individual brokers and has often litigated employment covenant, trade secret, and other white-collar employment disputes.  Mr. Meeks is a frequent speaker to business groups on lien law topics and commercial and contract dispute remedies, and is a speaker at legal seminars sponsored by the Georgia Institute of Continuing Legal Education.  He has written for the Georgia State Bar Journal and other publications on litigation issues affecting businesses. 

Mr. Meeks is a Georgia native who attended the University of Georgia, where he received his B.A. degree in English, cum laude, in 1976, and the University of Georgia School of Law, where he served as Senior Editor of the Georgia Law Review and graduated in 1979.

Upon graduation, he joined the Atlanta firm of Peterson, Young, Self & Asselin where he was made a partner in 1986. He left that firm in 1989 to become a founding partner of his present firm.
