About Jonathan

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.
