Professional Career
After earning his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia, Alan received his juris doctorate from Emory University School of Law. Before forming Turnbull, Holcomb & Moak, Alan was an equity partner at one of the top insurance defense firms in the country, where he represented some of the largest companies in the world and acted as national coordinating counsel for a large chemical/flavor manufacturer. This experience taught Alan that he wanted to help equalize the power imbalance between well-funded corporations and consumers, leading him to a career fighting for the people as a plaintiff’s attorney.
Licensed in Georgia, California, Mississippi, and Ohio, Alan is determined to hold major corporations accountable. He relentlessly pursues justice, passionately advocating for his clients every step of the way.
Jake Plattenberger
Since joining TorHoerman Law in 2009, Jacob Plattenberger has taken hundreds of depositions, argued in countless hearings, and tried over thirty-five (35) cases to a jury.
His experience in and out of the courtroom has made him a passionate advocate for those injured due to the negligence of others.
Professional Career
Jake started his career trying cases at one of the busiest civil courthouses in the country – the Richard J. Daley Center in downtown Chicago.
He started out doing insurance defense because he knew that afforded him the best opportunity to get courtroom experience.
“When I was working on the defense side, I always knew that I was going to be a plaintiff’s lawyer. I knew that being able and willing to try a case to a jury was a skill that I needed to have if I was going to be able to offer my clients the best legal representation. Insurance companies and corporate defendants need to believe you when you say you will take them to trial – they need to fear that.”
This type of real trial experience is exceedingly rare in complex civil litigation and having seen it from the defense side gives Jake an added advantage.
Jake also maintains a personal injury practice in Chicago, representing people and their families who have been victims of catastrophic auto and truck accidents, products liability, maritime accidents, premises liability, and medical negligence.
