Jeffrey Jones

Personal Injury Law

701 Xenia Avenue South, Suite 475, Golden Valley, MN 55416

A trial attorney focused clearly on your needs... Minnesota personal injury lawsuit attorney Jeffrey Jones began his practice in order to provide the kind of client-focused representation often lacking at larger law firms that practice an "assembly line" approach to personal injury and insurance litigation. At our firm, each client receives the full attention of their attorney and our staff to ensure that they understand their rights and the consequences of their decisions after a serious personal injury or wrongful death. If you have been injured on the job, in a car or anywhere in Minnesota, you may have a legal claim to compensation, including punitive damages. At Jeffrey A. Jones & Associates, we will deal directly with the insurance company or Workers' Comp agencies to fight to obtain your maximum benefits, especially if your compensation has been delayed or denied.
