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.

Jonathan Saved The Day!
Jonathan saved the day! A group of friends and myself were cited for a crime that we hadn't committed, but none of the prosecutors would listen to our side of the story or our evidence. With one phone call Jonathan called the right people and was able to talk sense to them. The charges were dismis...

Honest, Hard Working & Intelligent
Jonathan was the one ray of sanity throughout my whole experience. Jonathan took great pride in understanding how the legal system works and being completely educated on the fine details of the law in Utah. Jonathan is also well connected in the industry, and like it or not, who your attorney knows a...

"I've worked with Jonathan on a few cases and found him to be dedicated, passionate, and knowledgeable on the law. I endorse his services."
"Jonathan Nish is truly as genuine as he appears. Imagine if your best friend went to law school, memorized every single thing he could about criminal law, graduated with flying colors, passed the bar, and now is partner of a successful firm in Utah. That’s what it’s like to have Jonathan Nish as your attorney. Jonathan Nish takes care of his people."
"Jonathan T. Nish is a passionate advocate for his clients and a wonderful individual. I have known Jonathan for years and have seen how knowledgable he is in his chosen field. If you have need of a criminal defense attorney, Jonathan would be a fantastic choice."
"Jonathan is a great advocate for his clients. He knows the system well and he fights hard to get results. He is a great attorney and I endorse him whole-heartedly."
"Jonathan is hard working, compassionate and tenacious in his representation of his clients. If you decide to retain him as your attorney, you're in good, capable hands."

"Jonathan is an intelligent and knowledgeable attorney. If your child is in trouble, he is the attorney to call."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Nish on legal matters. Mr. Nish is professional and courteous to his clients. Mr. Nish has proven over and over that he is competent in the cases he handles."
"Jonathan is a great attorney. Whenever I have had dealings (which has been numerous times) with Jonathan he has been honest and good-hearted which combines great with the fact he is an aggressive advocate who is eager to do the very best for his clients.

"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."
"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."
