Josef Oliver approaches the practice of law with a commitment to being “of service,” a guiding principle that has shaped his work with clients and colleagues alike. He graduated from Mercer University School of Law in 2025, where he was inducted into the Phi Delta Phi Honor Society and earned CALI Awards for excellence in Summary Judgment Practice and Consumer Bankruptcy.

He was also selected to participate in Mercer Law’s Low-Income Bankruptcy Clinic and invited to membership in the W. Homer Drake, Jr. Bankruptcy American Inn of Court. Through the clinic, he worked alongside local attorneys in assisting members of the Middle District of Georgia prepare and file bankruptcy under Chapter 7.

Josef clerked for Busby Negin for two years during law school, building the litigation skills and collaborative relationships that laid the foundation for his current role with this team. Josef worked at immigration law firms for nearly eight years prior to attending law school, beginning at a high-volume boutique firm where he prepared both family and employment-based petitions. He later joined the immigration practice group at Seyfarth Shaw LLP, where he oversaw complex large-scale immigrant and nonimmigrant petition filing projects on behalf of global corporate clients. Josef’s diverse experience has informed his comprehensive approach to the law and equipped him to serve clients with both precision and perspective.
