Jonathon M. Reynolds, J.D. | Mediator & Law Clerk
Jonathon was born and raised in Middle Tennessee where he obtained his undergraduate degrees from Volunteer State Community College (A.S.) and Austin Peay State University (B.S.). Jonathon participated in college debate during his undergraduate years, earning the award of semifinalist for a national tournament. He also designed and launched an unexpectedly successful forum for students to discuss current events. Jonathon was also presented with the Citizen Commendation Award from the City of Nashville, TN for acts of heroism when he intervened in an armed robbery resulting in the victims' safety and the culprits' apprehension.
After graduating from Austin Peay, Jonathon moved to Columbia, SC, and enrolled in the Children's Law Program at the University of South Carolina School of Law. During law school, Jonathon dedicated himself to family issues. He served as chairman of the Children's Advocacy Law Society; he clerked for the Children's Law Center; and he worked under Professor Derek W. Black, a preeminent scholar of children's issues, as his research assistant. Additionally, Jonathon excelled in his family law courses - even earning the CALI Award for Excellence, an award given to the top-performing student of a class, for his performance in Family Law and Immigration Skills Workshop.
After graduating from law school (J.D., May 2018, cum laude), Jonathon relocated to the Central Coast of California to begin his career in family law. After moving to California, but prior to joining Lustig Law, Jonathon gained years of valuable experience in family law at another law firm in the area. Concurrently with his work at that law firm, he also worked as a consultant for the Academic Mastery Program at Pepperdine University School of Law from May of 2019 through the summer of 2020. In that role, Jonathon provided instruction to recent law school graduates studying for the bar exam, and generally provided academic support to the supervising Dean as needed. After the stars aligned, Jonathon joined Lustig Law. He is now an integral component of our team and dedicates his time and efforts to obtaining the best outcomes possible for our clients.
When he's not serving our clients, you can find Jonathon outdoors with his Pomeranian, Kiba, or serving his community! In June of 2021, Jonathon was appointed to the position of Committeeman for the City of Grover Beach Citizen Oversight Committee. He has served as Chair and Vice Chair of that Committee. Jonathon also serves on the Board of Directors of the California Association of Bond Oversight Committees.
