About Jonathon

Learn Jonathon’s areas of practice.

Jon is originally from the Fort Worth area. He graduated from Texas Tech University’s Rawls College of Business and then attended the Texas Tech School of Law.  In law school Jon participated in several practice court activities, reaching the final rounds and winning awards in several. He also served as an editor on two journals, the Texas Tech Law Review and the Estate Planning & Community Property Journal. In his third year of law school, Jon had the opportunity to argue a real case before one of the United States Circuit Courts, the level of court just before the U.S. Supreme Court. 

Initially, Jon worked as a law clerk with the firm and then went on to work as an attorney in the firm’s litigation department for three years. After a two and half year absence in which he had his own law firm and relocated to Austin, he rejoined the firm to work with Kevin Glasheen in our Austin office. In September 2018, Jon attended the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyer's College in Dubois, Wyoming.

Jon has focused his entire career on representing people, and their families, who have suffered catastrophic injuries or death. He prides himself on his ability to understand and explain to juries the true harms caused by injuries and the ways in which an injury can drastically alter someone’s life. 

Over the years, Jon has represented people in serious workplace injuries, commercial trucking cases, significant motor vehicle and motorcycle crashes, pipeline explosions, premises liability claims, pedestrian accidents, and various other situations. His aggressive style has led to successful outcomes through settlement and trial for hundreds of clients.  

Super Lawyers selected Jon as a Texas Rising Star since 2016, a Top 100 Rising Star in 2021, and the National Trial Lawyers has chosen him as a Top 40 Under 40 since 2016 as well. In 2016 he was named to the Nation’s Top One Percent by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel, which includes less than 1% of practicing attorneys in the United States.  In 2022, Jon was selected for Texas Super Lawyers in his first year of eligibility and he has been selected every year since. In 2023, he was also selected to the Top 100 Personal Injury attorneys by the National Trial Lawyers. In addition to his legal practice, Jon is active with the Texas Trial Lawyers Association (TTLA), an organization dedicated to protecting the rights of the people to seek justice in the Texas court system. He serves on the Board of Directors for TTLA and was the 2018-2019 Chair for TTLA's Advocates Committee, during which he founded the TTLA LEAD Academy. 

In April of 2023, Jon and his co-counsels obtained an $860 million dollar verdict in the case Williams et al. v. Greystar Development & Construction, LP, et al. in Dallas County.

Jon is licensed to practice in all state courts in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado. He is also admitted to practice in the United States District Courts for the Northern District and Western District of Texas and the United States District Courts for the District of New Mexico.

Automobile Accident With Severe Injuries
Jon Clark handled the case for me and my son, who was severely injured in an automobile accident that completely destroyed my car as well. The results were 5-Star right down the line……most importantly the recovery amount. The defendant fought like Hell to avoid responsibility, but Jon made them pay. And they paid before trial, I think because they knew it was going to be worse for them if they dared. I know what I am talking about because I am an attorney myself, but I could not realistically take this case to trial because I myself was a witness. Jon Clark took care of everything

No doubt in my mind that Jon is the best in the business
I come from a family of attorneys that sent me Jon's way. The things he did to strengthen our position by the time mediation and our trial date came around were incredible even by TV drama standards. I couldn't be more pleased with his professionalism, expertise and courtesy. I always felt like he had my best interest at heart, and I never once doubted that would do exactly what he said he would. The outcome of my case was phenomenal. If you're wondering whether or not Jon is the attorney for you, stop.

We didn't have any answers until Mr. John Clark
My husband was in a vehicle wreck with injury and total loss of vehicle, at the time we had no idea who Mr. Clark was and unfortunately we hired a different law firm to handle our case. I truly wish we would have known about him before this other law firm got their grips into my husband leaving him with nothing. Mr. Clark, I just wanted to say you were a breath of fresh air when we had been lied to by this other firm. I want to thank you for sharing with us your expertise and your knowledge of the law and the kindness and respect in which we were treated... thank you for that. Mr Clark sat down with my husband and myself, listened to us and helped guide us, answered all of our questions and our follow up phone calls. Thank you Mr. Clark for your knowledge, your time, your leadership and your direction Andrew and I appreciate you

The Best
Mr. Clark’s professionalism was outstanding in every area of my children’s case. They could not of received better representation. His compassion and genuine personality related to my children and their loss. He was attentive to their questions and feelings through the case. He and his staff were always readily available for any questions or concerns. It was a blessing to have them.

Response from Jonathon Clark June 27, 2018

First ever lawyer to hire - awesome in all respects
Waiting for a red light to turn green on Christmas day, 2013, I got slammed by a truck from behind - and then the perpetrator bolted. Luckily for me, there was a cop nearby who chased and got his license and insurance - turns out was a serial offender. My real struggles were only beginning when the no-name insurance started giving me a hard time about what they would pay me. Jon set the expectations from the start, especially emphasizing how going to the courts is the least productive option(I was reminded of that repeatedly in a case that followed shortly after this was resolved). The process took several months and some due diligence, but in the meantime I was always kept abreast of the progress. After getting the insurance company to give me my rightful damages, he also went the extra mile to negotiate lower hospital bills. All in all, a job well done - highly recommended.

The kindness, support and generosity they have shown us is amazing! The time and effort they have put in to make sure we were taken care of and gotten what is fair and right will never be forgotten. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

Got my bills paid
Made it easy for us by consulting at the nursing home, where I was recovering from a serious accident. Very pleased that he negotiated my hospital bill which was about a quarter of a million dollars down to about $20,000. Did not always understand his technical explanations, but felt he was trustworthy and inspired confidence.

What would I have done without Jon Clark and his team
I wish their were more stars to give on this review. Let me start by saying I'm not sure my case would have worked out the way it did without Jon Clark and his team. From visiting me in the hospital to explaining each step along the way I can honestly say this is one exceptional team. It is rare to not only feel someone is representing you the way you would represent yourself but also show you the highest level of hospitality along the way. I felt very comfortable and trusting in Jons abilities right off the back. Professionalism, personality, assertiveness, attentiveness and sense of urgency are just a few words that explain how Jon and his team operate on a daily bases. Picking someone to represent you on any legal matter can be an overwhelming process however I feel very grateful that is put to rest moving forward. Jon is the best!! I couldn't see myself using another legal team moving forward. If you are reading this throw out your hesitation and give them the opportunity to WOW you. Also worth noting: Belinda his paralegal is by far a rockstar in every way. She made me feel like I was apart of the family. Thank you Jon and Belinda for everything you have done. Sean

He handled my case with ease. Like he has been doing this for some time. Took him no time at all to get all the paper work and move forward in my case. Only took a matter of 3 months to get it settled. By far the best experience I've seen in a while
Posted by Kelly | March 23, 2015
He made all the difference!
Being in a serious car wreck at the age of 19 was incredibly frightening. Not knowing what to do and after being avoided by the insurance company for literally a year. I decided to take legal action. Jonathon Clark couldn't have been a better attorney for me! Not only did he fully talk me through the entire process, but he also made sure I understood everything completely and he was incredibly friendly about it. Since I was no longer afraid of the process we proceeded with the case TOGETHER. He always kept me informed about what was happening and gave me timelines for just about everything! The case itself could not have gone better either! Jonathon Clark is efficient and effective, very professional yet very approachable as well!

No better law firm out there!
I've never requested help from a Lawyer before. As nervous as I was to walk through the doors of Zinda & Davis, I was soon VERY comfortable when greeted by the receptionist and meeting with Jon Clark. Very cordial, knowledgeable, and reassuring of what they can do for me. My case is in good hands. There is not a better law firm out there that really cares about their clients and wants to make a difference. They are not all about money but rather about getting their clients a fair settlement. Thank you again for everything. I hope I will not need your services in the future but if I do or if anyone I know does you will be the first I call.

DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICE
I had purchased hearing aides under the assumption that my medical insurance would cover 80% of cost. At least that is what the provider stated, when they supposedly checked my coverage. They said it'd take a month or so before we would be reimbursed. Total cost was about $6500.00. I charged them to a Care Credit Card that the hearing aide company helped open and figured I would pay it off in a month. Interest charged would be minimal even at a 14.5 APR. The insurance declined coverage. They claimed that if the insurance stated they covered it then they had to cover it. So they said they would take care of it. I was eventually told they sent the claim to their corporate office because they were getting nowhere with the insurance company. We are now 4 -5 months into the process and I asked for the reference number from the insurance call and said I would call the insurance company. I found out that reference number was for a call placed a month after they filed the claim and that my insurance did not cover hearing aides. I had paid off $650.00 of the $6500.00 plus paid $405.00 in interest charges. I contacted Jon Clark and he said that we could sue for deceptive trade practices. If found guilty they would have to pay us 3 times the charges. Jon's recommendation was to try and talk to them first and see if they will take them back and refund the $6500 on the credit charge and cover the interest I had paid. Then we would sue if they didn't comply. My cost would be zero without court cost if it worked. When I went to their office there were new faces I didn't recognize . They had fired the people involved in the deception. Apparently I was not their only victim. I explained what had happened. That I would sue for deceptive trade practices, if they did not refund my money plus interest. They refunded the $6500 to the card and the credit company sent me a check for $650 top cover what I had already paid. The corporate office had to autorize the interest payment. I had a confimation within the week that they would cut me a check to cover the $405.00 interest charge on their next check run. I was extremely satisfied with the results. Jon's advice was right on and cost as minimal as we did not end up suing.

"If you have a personal injury issue, the first thing you should be concerned about is whether your lawyer truly empathizes with your situation. The second thing you should be concerned about is whether your lawyer knows the law so that he/she can best advocate on your behalf. The third thing you should be concerned about is whether your lawyer will be likable to a jury (because if your case is tried before a jury, whether or not the jury likes your lawyer can be devastating). Being a former Judge, I am a firm believer in Jon Clark and what he brings to the practice of law. He is a compassionate and zealous advocate for his clients; he knows the law inside and out; and he is one likable gentleman. Anyone needing Mr. Clark's services should know he/she is in good hands."
