"There are no problems, only solutions."  Let us help you find solutions.  Although a hard hitting, and tough litigator, I am also compassionate and professional.  We can help.

I began my legal career in the City of Santa Ana’s Civil Ligation Division before entering private practice in Newport Beach, California.  In 2002 Notre Dame Law School hired me as an Assistant Director to design public interest law programs for its students and alumni; this position allowed me to work extensively and closely with national law firms, other law schools, and legal service organizations throughout the entire country.. However, in 2005 an opportunity arose that allowed me to temporarily venture down another path.  I was invited to help establish a non-profit organization that managed the architectural design and building of schools and churches in South America--this opportunity was greatly rewarding and energizing but I missed the law.  So, after this non-profit organization was able to self-sustain, I returned to my legal roots.. In 2007 the Idaho Supreme Court hired me to manage all five of its First Judicial District Court Assistance Offices, an office geared towards providing family law information/services for self-represented litigants entering the court system.  In this role I was honored to furnish guidance to the court, bar constituents and outside agencies regarding the engagement between the judicial system and self-represented litigants.  In early 2013 private practice came calling and I returned to the practice of law.. Today the majority of my practice is geared towards family law.  I and my firm understand that the handling of every case is a partnership with our client and we, therefore, make a great effort to ensure our clients receive services based upon their unique situation and goals.  Through this commitment we strive to find resolution so our clients may move forward with greater resolve.

Idaho divorce attorney Colby L. Jones enjoys practicing family law because assisting families in crises gives his legal education meaning and provides him with the personal satisfaction of knowing he has left families in a better position than when they came to him.. “This is especially true of divorcing couples with children,” Mr. Jones. “Divorcing parents will still be co-parents for the rest of their lives, and a well-informed, ethical attorney can use their training to help their clients avoid unresolved conflict and litigation long into the future.”. Mr. Jones believes in a holistic approach to legal practicing. Solving legal problems is his priority, but that doesn’t always address a family’s immediate or future needs.. “I enjoy taking time with a client to understand them and their situation more fully to help create and assess short-term and long-term goals, interests, needs, and those of other family members involved,” he said. “Often, clients find that the current case is not their only legal issue, or that they may want to take a nuanced legal approach to a present conflict to meet other interests in the long run.”. Mr. Jones vows to stand by his client’s side throughout the entire divorce process. He also makes every effort to help them achieve their desired result while balancing financial, temporal, and emotional expenditure.. “Divorce, or any legal proceeding, can be draining, but conflict can also be an opportunity to envision and create a better future for yourself and your children,” he said. “As your attorney, I will deal with the legal process today so that you can focus on that better tomorrow.”
