J. Ross Jurow

An associate at BLANK ROME LLP, J Ross Jurow ("J") has carved a niche for himself in the realm of family law, focusing on complex divorce, custody, spousal support, child support and equitable distribution matters.

He graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. magna cum laude from Lafayette College in 2017, where he was recognized as an EXCEL Scholar for his research on the political influences on the U.S. Supreme Court. He earned his J.D. with honors from Emory University School of Law in 2020.

During his time at law school, Mr. Jurow gained invaluable experience interning at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in the Rackets Bureau, where he was involved in investigations related to cybercrimes, terrorism and cryptocurrency fraud. Mr. Jurow also served as a legal extern at the CDC's Office of the General Counsel in Atlanta, contributing to public health policy and healthcare litigation. His commitment to advocacy was further demonstrated through his work at Emory’s Barton Child Law and Policy Center, where he championed the rights of at-risk children in the Atlanta area.
