My name is Justin Jones and I'm the owner of J.D. Jones Legal. After practicing consumer finance protection law in a private firm, I decided to start my own firm so that I could better serve my clients. Now I'm able to accept many different clients, including underserved and underrepresented populations. I also spent time as a public defender where I defended hundreds of people in criminal, family, and mental health proceedings.
When I am not counseling people with their legal issues, I love to be outside. Utah has some of the best hiking, mountain biking, and skiing in the world. I was born and raised in Idaho. Now I reside in Utah, a state so many of my ancestors helped to build - from Tremonton to St. George. I am proud to continue their tradition by building up my community. My wife is an educator and together we are delighted to work and serve in Utah.
