J.D., Georgetown Law
Justin Wyatt is the Founder of J.R. Wyatt Law in New York and has dedicated more than 20 years to high-stakes litigation, with a focus on civil rights, personal injury, complex litigation, and athlete advocacy. A graduate of Georgetown Law, Justin is widely recognized for his work on the landmark NFL Concussion Settlement, where he has represented former players suffering from long-term neurological conditions, including dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). Justin played a central role in addressing inequities in the Settlement and was instrumental in challenging the controversial use of “race norming,” a practice that relied on different cognitive benchmarks for Black players, limiting their access to compensation. His advocacy helped bring national awareness to the issue and was key to reforming the claims process, ensuring greater fairness and equity for all retired players. Justin’s work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Thomson Reuters, and other national outlets.
