Born in Las Vegas on August 1, 1977, he graduated from Western High School in 1995, earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2001, and received his Juris Doctorate from the University of San Diego School of Law in 2004, where he participated on the school's National Mock Trial Team.

Admitted to the State Bar of Nevada in 2004, Troy began his legal career that same year as an insurance defense attorney at McCormick, Barstow, Sheppard, Wayte & Carruth LLP. In 2007, he joined the national law firm of Snell & Wilmer, where he practiced primarily in the areas of corporate and banking litigation. In 2009, he formed the Law Offices of Troy Atkinson PLLC, through which he represented thousands of distressed homeowners in loan modifications, short sales, and other default and delinquency matters.

In 2010, Troy founded the firm best known as Battle Born Injury Lawyers, where he was widely respected by his partners and employees. He was routinely recognized as one of the top attorneys in Nevada by his peers, and his warm personality and sharp intellect endeared him to clients, colleagues, and judges alike. Troy L. Atkinson died on December 28, 2016.
