Meet Your Attorney
Jonathan L. Green
J.D./M.B.A. · Sole practitioner & owner · Admitted in North Dakota & South Dakota, and to the Federal Bar of North Dakota
World Experience, Personal Service
A decade in the world.
Home, in Wahpeton.
Jonathan L. Green spent roughly a decade with Thomson Reuters, the global legal and financial information company — work that took him, in 2008, to Hong Kong as Regional Manager for Southeast Asia, with responsibility spanning Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan. It is a breadth of legal and business experience few small-town practitioners can offer.
He brought it home. Raised between Breckenridge, Minnesota and Wahpeton, North Dakota, Jonathan returned to the Red River Valley to build a firm on a simple, uncommon pairing: the depth of a global career, delivered with the personal service of a trusted local attorney.
Today he practices as a sole practitioner and owner — which means the professional you meet is the professional who handles your matter, from the first phone call to the final signature. He is admitted in North Dakota and South Dakota, and to the Federal Bar of North Dakota.

The Office
Attorney & Support Staff
A sole-practitioner firm with the support behind it to run every matter properly — and one attorney accountable for all of it.
Attorney
Jonathan L. Green, J.D./M.B.A. — sole practitioner and owner. Admitted in North Dakota and South Dakota, and to the Federal Bar of North Dakota. County Commissioner from 1/1/2018 to 12/31/2026. Every matter is handled personally, from the first phone call to the final signature.
Support Staff
The firm’s support staff keep scheduling, filings, and client communication moving between court dates — so calls are returned and deadlines are met.
Why He Came Home
Big‑firm work teaches an attorney what excellent counsel looks like. Doing it for your own neighbors is what makes it matter.
Jonathan chose to practice where he was raised — for the families passing down a farm, the business owners building something local, and the neighbors who would rather shake a hand than navigate a switchboard.
