ROBERT JONES

Growing up in Arkansas, Robert K. Jones always knew that he wanted to help people. As a natural leader, Robert initially left home to serve his country. After joining the army, Robert would eventually be made Infantry Platoon Leader, while also serving as a German interpreter for the army. After seven years of service, Robert received a commission as a Second Lieutenant after graduating from Officer Candidate School in 1983. Unsure of what he wanted to do with his life next, he eventually decided to obtain his real estate license in 1987, and quickly began work as a real estate agent in Arkansas, working for residential builders and developers in the area.

After working the real estate scene for a few years, Robert realized he wanted to pursue a more challenging and rewarding career. After some careful consideration, he decided to enter into law school and was quickly accepted into the University of Arkansas School of Law in Fayetteville. It was there that he first met his future partner, Andrew Atkins. During his time at law school, Robert was able to finance his education as the owner and property manager of 15 separate units of rental property. While working and studying at the University of Arkansas, Robert learned the value of hard work and time management.

When he graduated with his Juris Doctor in the spring of 1994, those values helped him pass the bar that summer, and eventually paved the way for him to open his own closing services company while he worked as a partner at a local general practice firm.

"Helping people has always been a passion of mine, and I'm proud to serve the people of Dallas and its surrounding areas."

After five years of working as a partner at the general practice firm, Robert decided to relocate to Connecticut, passing the bar that same year. He began to focus on real estate law, practicing in Fairfield County before opening his own firm in eastern Connecticut in 2005. After several years of running his own firm, Robert decided it was time to return to his roots and move back closer to home. In 2012, Robert moved to the Dallas area to reunite with his longtime friend and colleague Andrew Atkins where he would serve as managing partner for Atkins Law Group, PLLC.

Since his return, Robert has helped served the firm in areas of real estate law and contract law, helping clients across Dallas and the surrounding areas by providing excellent legal counsel and personalized service to anyone in need. To this day, Robert believes that helping people is the best part of his job, and he is committed to treating all of his clients with respect and integrity, regardless of personal circumstance.
