Biography

Jimmy grew up in Cordele, Georgia, and graduated from the University of Georgia where he achieved his Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology. After graduation from UGA, he began a career in the poultry industry and held various managerial positions in sales, quality assurance and processing for a decade until deciding to attend law school. He attended Georgia State University College of Law, where he became a member of the Moot Court Board, the President of the Student Trial Lawyers Association, and the organizer and founding President of the Oglethorpe Legal Society. He graduated cum laude in 2003 and continued the family “calling” to the law by becoming the 21st lawyer in his family, a tradition that began with his great-grandfather, Warren R. Mixon of Ocilla, Georgia in 1922.

Jimmy is the proud father of Tripp Hurt and Vaille Lawrence.  Tripp graduated from Furman University with a degree in Physics cum laude, in May 2015, and then from the University of Colorado in Boulder with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering in 2020.  He now resides in Seattle, WA with his wife, Hannah. Vaille graduated from the University of Georgia in 2019 with a degree in Psychology. She is an avid horseback rider and frequent competitor, riding both English and Western styles. She now resides in Colbert, GA with her husband, Ray, and their son, RL.

When he’s not busy serving his clients, Jimmy spends his time with his wife, Emily, and their dogs Bordeaux and Pinot.  They love hiking, boating, fishing, and sipping wine at the local vineyard where they got married.

We recently had a disagreement with an insurance company over a diminished value claim after a car wreck. After trying to work directly with the insurance company adjusters, we decided to get some professional help. The extremely knowledgeable team at Hurt Stolz turned a months-long battle into a week-long solution. I could not be happier with the customer service and speed of resolution. Many thanks to Jenny and everyone at Hurt Stolz!

Without reservation I want to recommend The Hurt Stolz law firm. Mr. James Hurt Jr. is without question the hardest working and honest professional attorney I have ever encountered. His compassion and straight talk puts him in a class of his own. While he is very articulate he can talk to you in terms that are understandable. Jimmy is honest and does not make promises he can not keep but he gives you his best effort keeping you first and foremost.
