About Jonathan

A top rated Nashville personal injury attorney. Call me for a free consultation today.

I am a Nashville native the managing partner of the firm. I represent people all acrossTennessee 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 business, 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.

Review Jonathan Williams

Would recommend Jonathan Williams to anyone!

Posted by

Jonathan Williams was my lawyer for my personal injury car wreck case. He was able to get the maximum allowable amount from insurance and always kept in contact with me throughout the process. My case was closed in just two months, and it was due to Jonathan staying on these insurance companies and getting things done! I will always recommend Jonathan to anyone needing legal help. Thank you Jonathan!

Highly Reccommend Personal Injury Lawyer

Posted by

I was involved in a rear-end collision which resulted in two major surgeries. Jonathan Williams and his staff made sure I was taken care from the first day I met him until we reached our settlement with a very difficult carrier. When I had a question, if Jonathan was out of the office, I was responded to as soon as he returned. Jonathan isn't just my lawyer, he's also now my friend.

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 then guide us to best possible resolution. We cannot thank him enough and I would recommend him to anyone in need.

First, I want to start off by saying that when a person speaks on attorneys not giving their all, not being honest, they are all out for the money, and that they really do not care about their clients.......that is absolutely the most ficticious statement I have ever heard in my life to the ultimate power when it comes to Attorney Jonathan Williams! This man fought for me and believed within me the whole entire time that he went over and beyond when dealing with my case. He was a God send to my life during my hard times. Mr. JJonathan Williams took on my case when everyone else turned their backs on me and told me they didnt want to chance because it was hard to prove, but this man here....he will fight for exactly what he knows is right and he will stand by you throughout until the very end! Please believe that he will not only be your attorney; yes, because that is his career; but he will also be that ear when you need it. I love his drive, his will, his push, his sincerity, his ability to get it done and done correctly, and his straight forward honestly. He will not sugar coat it by no means. He is hands down the best and i will come back to him if I ever need a helping hand because he always believed in me! And dont let me leave out his right hand lady Ms. Leslie honey. She stands by him and makes sure those checks marks are on every document. THANK YOU JOHNATHAN for believing in my case when no one would. I will forever be thankful for your push and drive! ML

Jonathan Williams was able to take the burden of dealing with the car and health insurance issues associated with my car accident. He was professional and handled everything quickly and efficiently and told me not to worry, just recover. I highly recommend him for assistance and will call on him again if needed.

Johnathan is AMAZING!!!!

Posted by

I'm 22 was involved in a car wreck , he helped me get exactly what I deserved from the insurance company. He was attentive to what I wanted/ needed he made great advisement to any suggestions I had and also very polite. He's not one of those lawyers that's throw you around. I met with several major law offices in regards to this accident and majority of those I never met my potential lawyer after meetings . But Johnathan was the absolute best. He's personable, kind, a go getter, and he cares about You not just money.

Jonathan came highly recommended to me from others who hired him. My case seemed a bit complex at first, but Jonathan and his team did an amazing job. I received a settlement way beyond the expected.
