Economics and Law
An academic foundation in economic thinking and legal analysis established the framework for understanding both rules and incentives.
Meet Jonathan
Deep expertise. Genuine curiosity.
Jonathan Staton brings legal, investment, financial planning, and fiduciary experience to one thoughtfully integrated practice.
A Wider Lens
Built to understand more than one side of the table.
The most important planning decisions rarely fit neatly within one professional discipline. Jonathan built Staton Law around that reality.
His work is grounded in law, but informed by a persistent interest in economics, investments, taxes, trust administration, and the way families make decisions over time. That broader training allows him to identify connections that can be missed when advice is viewed through only one lens.
Clients receive counsel that is rigorous without being remote: careful analysis, candid explanations, and a planning process shaped around real goals rather than generic documents.
“A strong plan should make a complex financial life feel more understandable—not more complicated.”Jonathan Staton
