Following law school, Jordon briefly worked for prominent law firms representing insurance companies. While there, he learned how insurance companies operate, and what kind of cases and lawyers they’re afraid to fight against.

Jordon’s conviction to represent individuals and try cases against insurance companies arose from personal experience. Before he became a lawyer, his grandmother tripped over a gray, unmarked extension cord that loosely ran across a sidewalk in front of a major brand-name store. She broke her hip, became ill in the hospital and passed away as a result. The insurance company denied her claim and deprived her of the money she needed to take care of herself when she was most vulnerable.

Nobody apologized and nobody cared that their mistake cost someone else’s life.

Now, Jordon has the opportunity to prevent these injustices in his client’s life and he relishes the opportunity to do so.

In order to be the best advocate for his clients, he is continuously honing his trial skills. In past years, Jordon acted as an adjunct professor at the University of San Diego, regularly instructing students on trial tactics, evidence, and case theory. He has also acted as faculty for the National Institute of Trial Advocacy (NITA) Deposition Skills seminar.

Jordon is a graduate of the University of San Diego School of Law. While enrolled, he was invited to compete nationally on both his law school’s trial team and appellate moot court team. During the same period, he also interned for the San Diego District Attorney’s Office and the Honorable John A. Houston of the Southern District of California.

Jordon currently sits on the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego Board of Directors.

Client Experience

“I was hit by a drunk driver and my car was totaled. Because there were other injured parties, it was difficult to get the insurance company to cover my medical bills and other losses. Suffering from severe pain while trying to navigate insurance claims and medical bills left me feeling extremely vulnerable and overwhelmed. I was referred to Jordon through a friend. He communicated with me regularly and made sure I always understood what was happening. Jordon negotiated a settlement that would otherwise have taken years due to the other parties involved. I had never needed an attorney before, but if I ever do again, I’ll call Jordon.”
