Attorney Jones was awarded the coveted Bison Scholar award. This award is earned by a select few scholarship athletes that achieve both academic and athletic excellence!

This was not enough for Mr. Jones, as he earned another scholarship this time for academics, to attend The Golden Gate University School of Law in San Francisco, California. A school known for having an exemplary litigation program giving students a solid understanding of the courtroom. During his time there, Mr. Jones earned himself a second academic scholarship and pursued his specialization in Litigation (courtroom practice). Attorney Jones gradauted from law school with distinction in Litigation!

He was so successful in the Litigation program that he was chosen to represent his law school at the American Trial Lawyers Association (A.T.L.A.) competition that takes place in Southern California. Additionally, he was selected by his professor to sit on the Moot Court. As a hard-working student, he was awarded this select honor after earning the highest grade in his class on a brief he had been working on the entire school year. Attorney Jones continues to remain highly dedicated to every case and situation he takes on; always striving to achieve the best possible results for his clients.

Training in Court
