Bret Rawson, founding partner at Nelson Jones Legal

Founding Attorney

A Utah attorney who answers the phone.

Our founder built Nelson Jones Legal the way clients told him a law firm should run — accessible, honest, and relentlessly prepared. Raised in Utah and trained in courtrooms across the state, he leads a practice grounded in three communities he's spent his life around: the everyday families of the Wasatch Front, the parents and children navigating divorce, and the officers and first responders who keep everyone else safe.

As a recognized local authority on Utah personal injury, family law, and first responder defense, he is regularly invited to speak with community groups, professional associations, and law enforcement organizations across the state.

When he isn't in a courtroom or on a call with a client, he's almost certainly on a Utah trail, at a kid's game, or volunteering with a Utah charity that matters to him.
