Johnny Jones

Johnny Jones is an attorney in Fennemore’s Real Estate group. In his practice, he focuses on advising clients on issues involving real estate, land use, natural resources, and environmental law. Having grown up in the Spokane area, Johnny understands the types of problems his clients face daily, and he draws on his previous experience, working in the field of natural resources management, to provide effective legal solutions.

After graduating from Gonzaga Prep in 2007, Johnny pursued a career as a marine biologist. In the decade that followed, he worked as a PhD scientist for the Department of Interior and Spokane County’s Water Resources Program before making the transition into the practice of law.

Johnny graduated from Gonzaga Law School’s Executive J.D. program, a two-year track focused on supplementing the traditional law school curriculum with business and leadership courses. Johnny’s experience at Gonzaga Law helped train him to not only be an effective advocate for his clients, but also a life-long student of the law as it evolves with technological and societal change.

Johnny’s goal is to help clients navigate complex and often stressful legal processes to achieve positive outcomes. In his free time, you will find Johnny with his family boating on Loon Lake, skiing at 49 Degrees North, or walking the dog through one of Spokane’s beautiful public parks.
