About Jonathan
Biography
I am a Nashville native and the owner and managing partner of the firm. I represent people all across Tennessee in cases involving serious injuries from car crashes, truck wrecks, motorcycle accidents, construction injuries and other types of injuries. I do not and have never represented an insurance company. I also manage the firm's probate and Social Security Disability practice.
In 2015, and every year since, I was awarded the prestigous AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell. I have been rated by Superlawyers for personal injury cases since 2013. I know you are looking for the best injury attorney in Nashville. You deserve the best, especially when dealing with an insurance company. In order to meet that expectation, I commit to every client that I will aggressively pursue the case. I am here when needed, I answer my phone. If you want to talk to your lawyer, I am here for you. If not, I promptly return phone calls and emails. I never forget that I work for you. That is a trait hard to find in a TV commercial or on a billboard.
I graduated from North Carolina State University graduating Cum Laude in 2003. Thereafter I received my J.D. from Nashville School of Law in 2007. While in law school I worked for my father as the firm's law clerk.
In college I was a three-year letter winner and member of two ACC Championship wrestling teams. I was also a a four-time recipient of the scholar athlete award and three times an ACC All Conference Academic Team member.
I previously served as the President of the Middle Tennessee Wrestling Officials Association, a not-for-profit corporation chartered to promote amateur wrestling in middle Tennessee. For ten years I was a high school wrestling referee. Now I enjoy spending time away from the office playing golf or watching the Nashville Predators.
I serve on the board of directors of the Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association and I am a member of the American Association for Justice, Tennessee Bar Association and Nashville Bar Association.

Someone you can really trust!
Jonathan helped me and my family out at a time when we needed it the most. Let's be honest, rarely do folks engage attorneys and it's not something most of us have much experience in. That's where Jonathan comes in! He took the time to listen intently, truly understand our needs and concerns and t...

Client advocate
He was very helpful and informative not only with our lawsuit but with other issues that came up. He worked very hard on our case to get our settlement and ensure that we would get the full amount.

Highly recommended!
I was in an auto accident in which the other driver was found totally at fault, with injuries including 2nd degree airbag burns to my hands, and soft tissue damage that lasted several weeks. I spent almost half a year negotiating with the insurance company, but they continued to offer me an extremely...
