Robert B. Jones

Robert Jones brings a multi-faceted perspective to civil litigation, drawing on experience advocating for clients on both sides of the table. Over more than two decades, he has represented plaintiffs, defendants, insurers, and public entities, giving him a well-rounded instinct for how cases are built and where they are won or lost. Murchison & Cumming is pleased to welcome him as Of Counsel in the firm’s San Diego office.

Robert’s practice centers on insurance coverage and bad faith litigation, government tort liability, and complex commercial disputes, with particular depth in premises liability, construction disputes, and municipal liability claims, including roadway design, intersection safety, and dangerous condition of public property. He manages substantial litigation dockets from investigation through trial and appeal and brings first-chair trial experience in premises liability, automobile accident, and government tort cases.

Earlier in his career, Robert founded and ran his own litigation practice, handling everything from business disputes to appellate proceedings. He later served as Senior Contracts Analyst for San Ysidro Health, one of the region’s largest federally qualified health centers, where he oversaw corporate transactions, nonprofit mergers, and regulatory compliance, an experience that gives him an unusually sharp lens on the institutional and operational pressures his insurer and public entity clients face.

Robert earned his J.D. cum laude from Thomas Jefferson School of Law and his B.S. in Political Science from Middle Tennessee State University.

When he’s not in the office, Robert is usually outdoors, hiking, fishing, or camping somewhere off the beaten path.
