Jonathan K. Nelson built his legal career on a foundation of business insight, client dedication, and a vision for accessible, high-quality legal services across Southern Nevada. After earning his Bachelor’s in Finance (2001) and M.B.A. (2003), Jonathan obtained his J.D. from Thomas M. Cooley Law School in 2008 and was admitted to the Michigan Bar the same year. He spent a decade in corporate banking, negotiating complex, high-value transactions—experience that sharpened his analytical skills and reinforced his commitment to client success.
In 2012, Jonathan was admitted to the Nevada Bar and launched J.K. Nelson Law with a single office dedicated to delivering affordable, results-driven legal representation. That vision resonated with clients, and the firm has since expanded to three convenient locations—in Las Vegas and Pahrump—to better serve communities throughout Southern Nevada.
Today, Jonathan and his team represent clients in family law, personal injury, probate, estate planning, and criminal defense, providing both strong advocacy and personalized attention. Licensed in Nevada, Michigan, and the Federal Courts for the District of Nevada, Jonathan also serves as Official Legal Counsel to the Pahrump Valley Chamber of Commerce. His work has earned recognition including Legal Elite, Top 40 Under 40, and myVegas Top 100 Lawyers.
From one office to three, Jonathan’s growth story is rooted in a simple principle: put clients first, and results will follow.
