The second annual Southeastern Legal Awards came off without a hitch Thursday, June 20 at Flourish in Buckhead, where Sarah Jorgensen, founder of Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg, was named the region’s Attorney of the Year for 2024.

Sarah’s impact on the legal community, her relentless pursuit of justice, and her groundbreaking work as a founding partner at Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg set her apart among this year’s judges. At the heart of her legacy is the launch of Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg LLP (RJLF), a majority women-owned national trial firm launched in October 2018 — which she calls her proudest moment — Jorgensen and her firm have gone on to make headlines for their non-traditional approach, which includes eschewing the billable hour in favor of more efficient arrangements. The firm also eliminated the partnership track and lockstep compensation in favor of a system that encourages attorneys to quickly advance.
