Jesse K. Broocker

Professional Profile

Jesse combines top-tier legal training with an exemplary commitment to client concerns.

Jesse advocates for health care providers throughout Georgia. From representing individual clinicians to major health systems, he has extensive experience in an array of health law settings—from non-litigation matters including Board claims and regulatory compliance, to appellate advocacy, to litigation, arbitration, motions practice, and trial defense at both the state and federal level.

Jesse represents physicians and nurses in a variety of specialties, including primary care, emergency medicine, orthopedic, general surgery, spine surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, anesthesiology, cardiology, critical care, gastroenterology, pediatrics, neurology, and pain management. He has extensive experience in medical malpractice and premises liability for three of the largest hospital/health systems serving Atlanta and Georgia. He also defends individual clinicians in Georgia Composite Medical Board investigations and Georgia Office of the Attorney General investigations and complaints.

Jesse brings a personal motivation to his representation of physicians and health care providers. A number of his family members are active or retired medical professionals, including his father who was Chief of Service of Ophthalmology at Grady Memorial Hospital for over 20 years, his father-in-law who is an orthopedic surgeon, his mother-in-law who is a dermatologist, his uncle who is an OB/GYN, and his brother-in-law who is a gastroenterologist/hepatologist.

Jesse is a “double Eagle”—graduating from Emory University and Emory University Law School with honors. While at Emory, Jesse was an Articles Editor for Emory Law Review.  While Jesse always had designs on medical malpractice defense for his practice, his zeal for defending providers first began in an intensive advanced trial training program at Emory where he achieved a full defense verdict as sole counsel in a medical malpractice action in front of a sitting DeKalb County judge and a live jury. For the first four years of his practice, Jesse practiced law with a leading AmLaw 100 law firm in Atlanta, Georgia in the firm’s litigation and trial practice and products liability groups. As an associate with that respected law firm, Jesse gained experience in criminal and civil white-collar defense work, health care litigation, insurance defense, class action defense, and product liability defense. Jesse also has a background in real estate litigation.
