Amazing Attorney

After 5 minutes consultation with MR jones I dropped a family friend lawyer quickly. he proved to be a total professional, Honorable and a fighter. I think he won the case because of those qualities and his closing arguments was simply amazing. My family and I are very proud of you, may God bless you... and your family

trust worthy, kind, and professional..

I have known Jonathan for 6 years. In those years he has helped me with two OWI charges. From the beginning Jonathan was up front, trust worthy, kind, and professional through the entire court process. He kept me in the loop with everything and explained things in detail to help me better understand ...the legal system. Whenever I got nervous or anxious, Jonathan was a call/text away to reassure me that he had my back and that he was here for me. That he had this. Just seeing him walk into the court house put me at ease knowing that he would do everything in his power to help me. He responded to every phone call and text in a timely manner. Whether it was early in the morning, late at night, or on a weekend, he always responded. He is a natural at putting people at easy during some of the most difficult and stressful times. He is confident in his ability to represent people to the highest extent and has the education and experience to show it. Jonathan represented me, for who I am, not the mistakes I’ve made. Jonathan Jones is the only lawyer I have ever had and the only one I will recommend. I have the utmost respect for Jonathan and his commitment and diligence to helping others. I am confident that Jonathan Jones can help you with any legal problem you may be facing as he tremendously helped me.

Outstanding Warrants

Recently, I hired Jonathan Jones to represent my son for two outstanding warrants from five years ago. One warrant was dismissed, but on the other warrant my son was facing 365 days in jail for the charge. The judge seemed very determined to give him the jail sentence. Due to Jonathan Jones persis...tent defense, the judge sentenced my son to eighteen months probation, community service, and 52 weeks of anger management classes. We are most appreciative of Jonathan's representation on my son's behalf. If you are facing difficult legal issues, I would definitely recommend Jonathan Jones to represent you in court.

He did it again.

I saw this attorney in a courtroom with a client who was on the ropes and had been down for the count at a hearing, When Atty. Jones and the client walked out the courtroom the client received a split decision. Please excuse the metaphor. But I followed Atty. Jones out of the courtroom. We talked a...nd my wife and I hired him to defend our son; who was facing two old warrants. My son's hearing day, he did it again. Our son ended up with Probation. This is the kind of attorney you want in your corner in a fight you have to win.

Jonathon Jones

Jonathon appeared to take a personal interest in my case. He was working against a Prosecutor that was unwilling to budge. Jonathon did not give up. He pursued this case to the end, but was unable to resolve the case as we had hoped for. I would recommend him if his services were needed.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
