Meg Olson is a partner in the Atlanta office of Quintairos, Prieto, Wood & Boyer, P.A. With over 13 years of insurance defense litigation experience, Meg has established a reputation as a tenacious civil litigator with an appetite for trial. Her clients appreciate her creative, yet practical approach to negotiation and settlement, and her eye toward cost containment. She practices in state, superior, and appellate courts, and has a large federal court practice as well. Her areas of expertise include commercial and personal auto, trucking and transportation, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, large loss, appellate law, premises liability, malicious prosecution, Dram Shop, defamation, and insurance coverage.
Ms. Olson has first chair trial experience in numerous jurisdictions and has successfully argued before the Georgia Court of Appeals, achieving summary judgment for her clients, as well as extensive experience taking and defending party, non-party, and expert depositions and handling mediations in high exposure and large loss cases. She is licensed to practice law in Georgia and is admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Georgia, the Court of Appeals of Georgia, and in the USDC Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia.
Meg graduated, magna cum laude, from Palm Beach Atlantic University with a Bachelor of Arts in journalism and a minor in dance performance. After completing her undergraduate studies, she worked as a ballet teacher and choreographer while taking the LSAT and applying to law school. She later earned her J.D. from Emory School of Law, where she was a member of the Emory Moot Court Society. Focused on litigation from the start, Meg was named Outstanding Oral Advocate in her 1L class and placed third in the nation at the Gibbons Criminal Procedure Moot Court Competition.
Meg loves trial and integrates skills from her decades of classical ballet study and love of performing into her trial practice by utilizing the ability to be highly detail oriented while maintaining a global perspective to her clients' advantage. This ability to analyze cases in a multi-dimensional way allows her to be a compelling storyteller before juries and to craft winning legal arguments in her motions practice.
Meg and her husband (and law partner) enjoy raising their four children, four rescue dogs, and two cats in Dunwoody, Georgia.
