Jonathan Powell
John was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, before moving to Las Vegas to earn his J.D. from the Boyd School of Law at UNLV. Upon graduation, John dedicated approximately 12 years to criminal defense, zealously advocating for his clients not only in Nevada but also in states such as Texas, Florida, and New York. His rigorous defense work frequently required taking cases to trial in both state and federal courts.
After the birth of his daughter, John sought to redirect his career focus. He initially transitioned into insurance defense, where he could apply the trial skills he had honed in criminal defense. However, after successfully trying several cases for insurance companies, John recognized that his expertise would be better utilized representing injured clients. Today, at The Powell Law Firm, John leverages his in-depth understanding of insurance defense to passionately pursue justice for those who have been injured.
