You wouldn’t think such a successful attorney would try so hard to put himself out of a job. But founding partner Jonathan Downes believes that his job is to help clients reduce areas of potential conflict so they can virtually eliminate the need for a lawyer. This has been his intention for the past two decades with the firm and nearly 30 years of practice.
