40 Under 40: Jonathan Nelson, Principal Attorney, JK Nelson Law

Jonathan Nelson

Exhibiting a fascination with law from an early age, Jonathan Nelson initially began a career in banking while earning his law degree at nights and on weekends. Eventually, he made the jump to private practice where he discovered his favorite part of the job: the genuine opportunity to help others.

Six years ago, Nelson opened his own law firm and within that time period, JK Nelson Law has tripled its staffing and revenue. Eager to continue growing the business, Nelson hopes that one day it will be known as a premier law firm. During the pandemic, even with a lower volume of customers, Nelson was able to continue growing his staff and maintaining a healthy workforce.

Nelson is active in his community—volunteering at a senior center and partnering with nonprofit organizations—as well as his church. A father and husband, Nelson says he gathers the most inspiration from his wife.
