About

I am a trial lawyer. I love trials. A jury trial is when the legal system is at its best. The Constitution grants every citizen the right to trial by jury, and that is a right we all should exercise when necessary. I have been lead counsel on hundreds of jury trials, both at the State and Federal level.However, at times, negotiating a settlement is the right course of action. My reputation for zealous representation results in the best negotiated results. I have the respect of the opposition and the trust of the judges.I have tried and won cases ranging from first-degree intentional homicide to disorderly conduct. I have successfully argued to protect constitutional rights and have engineered favorable results for clients in all aspects of litigation. In short, I am the lawyer you want when you need to fight for your freedom, your family, or your rights.I am a two time winner of the Martin Hanson Memorial Prize, awarded by the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. I was named a Leader in the Law in 2020 by the Wisconsin Law Journal; along with being named as a Rising Star in 2010 by Super Lawyers. My firm, was named The Best of Milwaukee in 2019 and 2020 by The Shepard Express.I graduated with honors from Marquette University Law School in 2002 and I founded Jones Law Firm in 2008. I am licensed to practice law by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, the Eastern and Western Districts for the Federal Court of Wisconsin, and the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.

I trust this attorney with my life! I was referred to him from a friend and he has helped me get so much of my life back on track. I have been more than impressed, and this is an attorney that takes all cases personal, and WINS!

A year and 40k later I switched attys. Mr. Jones had a mess on his hands. He was fabulous! He got me everything I wanted and had it finished in 2 months! He's highly intelligent and well known in the court community! His team was amazing and very affordable. Thank you Jones law firm!

Attorney Jones failed to return all calls and email correspondence. I submitted a letter to the judge in my case and asked Attorney Jones to review it before he submitted it. Either he did and doesn't know that you can't ask a judge to change whatever offer the prosecutor is offering or he didn't read it and submitted it to Court. He made both of us look like idiots in front of the judge. He also refused to try to negotiate with the prosecutor on my plea deal. His answer pretty much is, it is what it is. After immaturely (his actions and communication) withdrawing as Counsel I got a new attorney and everything went great and my more serious charge will soon be dismissed.
