Sean M. Jones, founding attorney at Jones Trial Attorneys, made a deliberate choice early in his career: depth over volume.
He describes watching a colleague process traffic tickets one after another — checking whether the officer appeared, asking for dismissal if not, requesting a reduced fine if so. Efficient, but not what he wanted to build.
"You're not using your skills as an attorney. You're just churning through like a robot."
Jones has focused instead on complex criminal cases where he genuinely gets to know the client, their family, and the full context of their situation. The tradeoff is handling fewer cases. The payoff is work that draws on the full range of his capabilities.
