About Jonathan
Biography
I believe that everybody deserves to be treated like they are the only client I have. I strive to provide a personal and in depth legal defense that is both aggressive and strategic. I have worked hard to gain the respect of colleagues whether they be fellow defense attorneys, state's attorneys or judges and I rely on those relationships, along with a thorough knowledge of the law and an aggressive and strategic defensive strategy, to find the best results in every case.

The best of the best!!!
Jonathan Nish represented my loved one in a very complex and difficult case. With no evidence to support our claims, it seemed like our dear one could be facing a life sentence. Throughout this challenging time, Jonathan was incredibly supportive and always available to us. He dedicated himself to fi...

Empathic and Educated!
Jonathan was absolutely phenomenal! I was wrongly accused of a crime I did not do! I have never had any criminal history, when I had been falsely accused, my anxiety reached all time highs. Before we even met, he talked to me on the phone for a good chunk of time and set up a consultation. He was ...

"Jonathan is very professional. He does not waste time and quickly gets to the issues that matter"
"Jonathan is a great criminal defense attorney. I have worked with him on criminal law matters and he is very competent in that area. I respect Jonathan and believe that he does a good job in representing his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jonathan is an excellent attorney, he has good energy to advocate for his clients and is very capable and enthusiastic in his efforts."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Jonathan Nish is very passionate about criminal defense. Several years ago he came to me seeking to intern for me. I was very reluctant because, frankly, interns are often a lot of work to supervise. Jonathan was persistent until he got what he wanted: the internship. I decided to give him a shot and am so glad I did. He hit the ground running and went above and beyond any other intern I had ever had prior to that and since. After a couple years he decided to go to law school. I continued to have him do assignments for me while he attended law school, and since he has graduated Jon has started his own practice (good for him!) and has partnered up with Kent Morgan, a highly respected former prosecutor. Jonathan is smart and passionate about helping his clients obtain the best possible results. He is currently a member of the Utah Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and volunteers much of his time on the Seminar Committee. I would endorse him without any reservations."
"Jonathan is a lawyer that is willing to put in the extra effort for his clients. He surrounds himself with other lawyers that can add exponentially to his own knowledge."
