About Jonathan
Jonathan decided to become a trial lawyer after watching his mother seek justice in court following injuries caused by a dangerous drug. That experience shaped how he sees his role today. He knows that every case involves real people whose lives have been disrupted, and he takes that responsibility seriously.
A lifelong Kentuckian, Jonathan understands the concerns many clients have when they first walk through the door. He takes time to explain the process and map out what lies ahead so they feel informed and prepared.
Since 2017, he has represented individuals and families in claims against insurance companies and corporations, securing numerous million- and multi-million-dollar recoveries. His recent work includes a significant case featured by the Lexington Herald-Leader, highlighting his role in achieving a successful outcome in high-stakes litigation. He earned his undergraduate degree from Morehead State University and his law degree from the University of Kentucky College of Law.
He met his wife, Meredith, in law school. They have three children. Outside of work, Jonathan enjoys cooking, grilling, golfing, riverbank fishing, and training in jiu-jitsu, where he holds a blue belt.
