David J Jones

David J Jones, an attorney in Janesville, Wisconsin, has a rich educational and professional background. He grew up near Fort Atkinson and pursued his college and law education in Oklahoma and Virginia. His legal education was shaped by notable figures such as Former U.S. Attorney-General John Ashcroft and Sitting Virginia Supreme Court Justice D. Arthur Kelsey. He also benefited from the teachings of Professors Brad Jacob and James Duane, who were students of U.S. Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Stephen Breyer. Additionally, he learned from Ben Madison, a contributor to law school Civil Procedure textbooks, and Harvard Law School alumni James Duane, Natt Gantt, and Caleb Griffin.

After completing law school out of state, David took and passed the Wisconsin Bar Exam on his first attempt, a significant achievement since local law school graduates are exempt from this requirement. His dedication and faith played a crucial role in his success during law school and the Bar Exam.

David's legal practice includes writing and winning a motion to transfer jurisdiction under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act and drafting a Motion to Dismiss under the Wisconsin Rules of Civil Procedure. He has successfully managed four divorce cases, negotiated divorce and custody agreements, secured a placement modification for a father, avoided a contempt finding for a client, defended a client's custody rights, assisted a client in avoiding child support payments, and helped protect an elder.

Outside of his legal career, David enjoys reading, music, sports, card games, engaging in meaningful conversations, and expanding his knowledge through lectures and debates.
