About Preston L

Preston L Jones built a steady legal path after two degrees that set the tone for a multi-jurisdictional practice. He earned a B.A. in Spanish and Psychology from Kansas State University in 2006, then completed his J.D. at SMU Dedman School of Law in 2009. The combination of language study and law would later shape the kind of matters he handles.

He entered practice soon after law school. In 2009 he joined Sumner, Schick & Pace as an associate. That role gave him early courtroom exposure and hands-on client work. By 2011 he moved to Ortiz Law Office, remaining in associate roles where he handled individual client matters across several state lines.

Jones continued to develop his practice through mid-career moves. In 2014 he became a senior associate at Davis & Associates. The position involved more case management and strategy for complex files. In 2015 he left that structure to start his own firm, the Law Office of Preston Jones, taking responsibility for business operations as well as a growing client docket.

His licensing spans Missouri, Kansas and Texas. He is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association since 2012, an affiliation that aligns with a significant portion of his casework. That membership, along with bar participation in multiple states, positions him to serve clients who live and work across regional lines. Colleagues describe him as practical in court and attentive at intake, preferring straight talk with clients about likely outcomes and next steps.

Jones maintains ties to the local legal community. He has been a member of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association since 2017 and holds membership in The Kansas Bar starting the same year. He has been affiliated with The Texas Bar since 2010. These memberships reflect steady engagement with professional groups that handle ethics, continuing education and local practice issues.

At the Law Office of Preston Jones he runs an office that handles individual and family matters that often cross state borders. He takes cases that require familiarity with immigration processes and the procedural variances among Missouri, Kansas and Texas. Clients consult him for case strategy, representation in administrative proceedings and courtroom appearances when necessary.

He remains based at his own practice and continues to accept new clients, primarily handling immigration-related matters and cross-jurisdictional issues in Missouri, Kansas and Texas.
