Jonathan Everett Rankin
I'm a dad, husband, nerd, and licensed attorney in Ipswich, Massachusetts. I'm building a new kind of law practice focused on thoughtful, tailored representation that leverages technology to provide cost-efficient but maximally effective legal services.
My Approach
I am available for appellate counsel, co-counsel, and trial-level assistance on personal injury, criminal defense, commercial litigation, and other matters. I also advise clients on transactional and non-adversarial matters. If you have a legal issue, I'd be happy to discuss how I can help in a completely free consultation. I'll never send you a surprise bill.
Experience
Before starting my own firm, I was a litigation associate at Goodwin Procter in Boston, where I was a member of teams handling a variety of cases spanning:
- appeals at various levels, including the Supreme Court, federal courts of appeals, and Massachusetts state courts.
- patent litigation in federal district courts.
- plaintiff-side class action litigation.
- personal injury.
I attended the University of Texas at Austin School of Law, where I was an articles editor on the Texas Law Review, a member of the Supreme Court Clinic, a judicial intern to the Honorable Rolando Olvera of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and a research assistant to Professor Lawrence G. Sager. I graduated Order of the Coif in May of 2023.
During undergrad at Belmont University, I co-founded an education-technology startup, where I worked as a software developer and creative director from 2017 to 2020. Before that, I was the campaign manager for a successful city-council campaign in Nashville, Tennessee. I graduated with a B.S. in physics and economics, and a minor in mathematics, in 2017.
In earlier lives, I slung burritos at a Tex-Mex chain, disc-jockeyed Nashville bars and events, worked retail at a mall, and interned at a government-access television station in small-town Tennessee.
