Jonathan's areas of practice include family law, criminal defense, and civil litigation. The ability to help people through a difficult point in their lives is what he enjoys most about the practice of law, and prior to joining the firm, Jonathan worked for Kids First Law Center, a local nonprofit organization that provides advocacy services for children in high-conflict family law cases. He says, "Often in the legal profession, you are seeing people at a low point in their lives. It gives me great satisfaction to be able to help guide and reassure the people I represent."

Jonathan also enjoys the variety and challenge of litigation, and says that being an advocate for those he represents helps him feel like he is serving a great purpose. Colleagues and clients say that Jonathan is kind, caring, and considerate, and that he tries to solve the client’s problems in a way that gets to the very heart of the matter. At the same time, he can be very tough when he needs to be to protect his clients' interests.

Born and raised in Ohio, attorney Jonathan D. Schmidt attended college and law school in his home state and began his legal career there before moving to Iowa in 2012. At Ohio State, Jonathan majored in Communication with a focus on Electronic Media. His undergraduate interests continue to aid his practice today, driving him to make use of technology to serve his clients efficiently and effectively.

When he's not practicing, Jonathan enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons. He also enjoys performing in community theatre productions as well as singing, playing piano, and reading.

SAMPLE LEGAL CASES

Physician Obtains Downward Modification to Alimony Obligation
In a post-judgment divorce action, a physician was successful in obtaining a downward modification to his alimony obligation due to a substantial decrease in his income.  The parties were divorced back in 2007, and pursuant to the judgment of dissolution, the husband was required to pay alimony to the wife in the amount of $6,000 per month for a period of eleven months, followed by $5,000 per month thereafter.  The amount of the alimony obligation was modifiable upon a substantial change in circumstances in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes § 46b-86.
In Post Judgment Divorce Action, Court Determines that $1.2 Million Payment to Husband was Income, Not Liquidation of an Asset
In a post-judgment decision rendered, the Superior Court of Fairfield at Bridgeport addressed whether a payment that a husband received from his employer after the parties’ divorce constituted an asset or, alternatively, income.  The parties in this action obtained an uncontested divorce in 2008.  As part of their separation agreement, the husband was obligated to pay the wife child support in the amount of $1,600.00 per month.
Child Care Costs and the Connecticut Child Support Guidelines
In a decision rendered previously, the Connecticut Appellate Court explained the definition of “child care costs” as set forth in the Connecticut Child Support Guidelines.  In that particular case, the parties were married for approximately five years and were the parents of two minor children.  During the year of 2003, they entered into a custody stipulation which was subsequently incorporated into a comprehensive separation agreement.  The separation agreement provided that the husband would pay the wife $2,500 per month in unallocated alimony and child support for a period of five years, followed by straight child support.
