Jonathan Roven is a dedicated Las Vegas employment attorney known for his relentless advocacy on behalf of workers who have been wronged by their employers. As the founder of Law Office of Jonathan D. Roven, a plaintiff-focused law firm, Jonathan has built his career around holding powerful companies accountable for illegal practices such as wrongful termination, wage theft, discrimination, and retaliation. His commitment to justice, combined with an aggressive litigation strategy and compassionate client service, has made him a respected voice in the legal community.
Jonathan represents workers in state and federal court, as well as before arbitration panels and administrative bodies such as the Nevada Equal Rights Commission. He has successfully litigated cases involving violations of the Nevada Labor Code, the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and other federal and state laws protecting employee rights. Whether facing off against large corporations or government entities, Jonathan brings the same level of intensity, preparation, and courtroom skill to every case.
A large portion of Jonathan’s practice focuses on wage and hour violations, including unpaid overtime, missed meal and rest breaks, off-the-clock work, misclassification of employees as independent contractors, and failure to pay minimum wage. In an era when many workers are being exploited by modern gig economy loopholes, Jonathan ensures that employers are held to account and that employees receive every dollar they are owed. He has handled collective actions, as well as individual wage claims, with a high success rate.
Jonathan is also passionate about helping clients who have been harassed, discriminated against, or wrongfully terminated because of their race, age, disability, pregnancy, gender identity, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. He understands how isolating and devastating it can be to face discrimination at work, and he works closely with each client to document their experience, preserve critical evidence, and build a compelling legal case. His firm routinely handles cases involving hostile work environments, failure to accommodate disabilities, and whistleblower retaliation and related statutes.
Trial advocacy is at the core of Jonathan’s legal philosophy. While many attorneys seek to settle quickly, Jonathan prepares his cases as if they are going to trial. This approach often leads to more favorable settlements for his clients and, when necessary, equips him to confidently present the case to a jury. He has earned a reputation among his peers and opposing counsel as a formidable litigator who is not afraid to take on difficult or high-stakes cases.
Beyond his litigation practice, Jonathan invests heavily in technology and legal innovation. He has developed proprietary legal software to streamline case management and improve client communication. His law firm embraces digital tools not only to increase efficiency but to make legal services more accessible to underserved communities.
A graduate of Loyola Law School, Jonathan began his legal career in Los Angeles before becoming admitted in Nevada to serve the growing needs of Nevada’s workforce. He is also active on social media, using platforms like Instagram and TikTok to educate the public on their rights and expose illegal employer conduct.
Jonathan’s clients often describe him as “tenacious,” “down-to-earth,” and “deeply committed.” He takes pride in offering personalized attention to every client, treating their case with the urgency and importance it deserves. Whether the case involves a small unpaid wage claim or a large wrongful termination suit, Jonathan ensures that every client is heard, empowered, and fiercely represented.
When he is not in court or the office, Jonathan enjoys spending time with his family, working on creative tech projects, and staying active in the community. He frequently volunteers and offers pro bono consultations for low-income individuals navigating employment-related legal issues.
Jonathan Roven’s mission is simple: to protect Nevada’s workers and deliver justice for those who have been mistreated, underpaid, or silenced. At Law Office of Jonathan Roven, he brings that mission to life every single day—one client, one case, and one victory at a time.
