Shteyman Jake
Personal Injury, Car Accidents, and Criminal Defense
My name is Jacob Shteyman, and for years I have represented Russian-speaking residents of Atlanta in the courts of Georgia and New York. I grew up in Moscow and moved to Atlanta as a child with my parents and brother, so I understand firsthand how difficult the American legal system can feel when Russian is your first language. I focus on personal injury, car accident, and criminal defense cases, along with trial litigation and disputes with insurance companies.
Before focusing on representing clients directly, I spent several years at a large Atlanta law firm working on real estate finance and capital markets - experience that gives me a broader perspective on complex legal and financial matters. Today my practice is built around clients who want a lawyer who will personally handle their case from start to finish.
I help with:
- Injuries caused by negligent drivers or other parties
- Car accidents and disputes with insurance companies
- Criminal defense
- Litigation and courtroom representation
I speak Russian myself and understand the cultural context Russian-speaking clients bring with them - from the first phone call through the courtroom, I am easy to reach and easy to trust.
