Jimena Mohedas
Jimena Mohedas approaches legal representation with unwavering focus, sharp tactical foresight, and absolute honesty. A former public defender and experienced criminal defense attorney, Jimena brings seasoned trial experience to Jones Law Firm, representing clients across criminal defense, dissolution of marriage, allocation of parental responsibilities, post-decree modifications, protection orders, and premarital agreements. Fully bilingual, she handles cases in both English and Spanish. Recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star and named to Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America, she has built a reputation as a formidable litigator who thrives when the stakes are highest.
Raised in Louisville, Colorado, Jimena knew early on that she was built for the courtroom. She earned her undergraduate degree in political science from the University of Colorado Boulder before graduating from Boston University School of Law with a single goal: to become a trial lawyer. Her career began in the trenches as an Arapahoe County Public Defender before she transitioned into private criminal defense. That intensive courtroom background instilled in her a deep command of trial procedure and the ability to evaluate evidence objectively under pressure. Bringing those skills to family law allowed her to merge courtroom agility with strategic negotiation, ensuring her clients receive direct, highly calculated representation whether in mediation or before a judge.
Jimena’s approach is straightforward and grounded in reality. Rather than offering empty promises or serving as a passive sounding board, she acts as a grounded strategist who helps clients navigate the emotional weight of litigation while focusing on actionable, long-term outcomes. She sets rigorous expectations from day one by insisting on total transparency, translating complex statutory frameworks into plain language, and mapping out realistic scenarios so clients can make fully informed decisions. By evaluating every argument through the eyes of the judge, she eliminates surprises and positions her clients for maximum leverage.
What you may not know: Outside the courtroom, Jimena stays deeply connected to her community and her Argentine heritage. A die-hard soccer fan, she loves traveling to major international tournaments alongside her husband and family. When she is not cheering from the stands, you can find her tending to her vegetable garden, practicing Pilates, hosting her book club, or hunting for treasures at weekend estate sales. That collaborative, sharp-minded energy carries right into her mornings at the office, where she and her paralegal start every day locked in a friendly competition over the New York Times Wordle and Mini Crossword.
