About Jonathon

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 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 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 is the 2018-2019 Chair for TTLA's Advocates Committee. 

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 of Texas and the United States District Courts for the District of New Mexico.

    The Best

    Posted by

    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.

    Jonathon Clark's response: Charly - thank you so much for those kind words! Representing clients like your family makes all the late nights and hard work worth it. I am better for having the opportunity to know them. From our entire firm, "thank you for trusting us with their case."

    Exceeded Our Expectations

    Posted by

    Jon Clark was the first attorney I met from the firm. He made sure we were very well taken care of and helped us receive the very best outcome from our situation.

    First ever lawyer to hire - awesome in all respects

    Posted by

    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.

    Got my bills paid

    Posted by

    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

    Posted by

    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

    Tina Torres, Car accident Attorney on Feb 25, 2015
    Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

    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.
