About

At the law office of Jay Gervasi, P.A., we strive to provide respectful, open and friendly service to clients who have suffered injuries. Attorney Jay Gervasi has more than 30 years of legal experience and is a board-certified specialist in workers’ compensation through the North Carolina State Bar Board of Legal Specialization. Additionally, with our insurance defense and workers’ compensation defense background, we are well-prepared to assist clients filing workers’ compensation, premises liability, personal injury and general liability claims.

Jay graduated cum laude from Duke University in 1980, with a Bachelor of Science degree in zoology. After working as a medical research technician at the Duke Medical Center for a few years, he attended Vanderbilt University Law School, where he graduated in 1986 in the top 15 percent of his class. After four years of practice for business-oriented firms, in which he represented defendants and insurance companies in workers’ compensation and other personal injury claims, along with a variety of other types of matters, Jay “jumped the fence” in 1990 and joined a plaintiffs’ personal injury law firm in Greensboro, where he headed up the workers’ compensation practice area and worked on other personal injury cases. After 10 years at that firm, in 2000, Jay opened his own law practice, Jay Gervasi, P.A., where he remains today.
