Jonathon C. Garnett - Hopkinsville, KY

Born and raised on a family farm in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, my journey to the law is deeply connected with my roots. Growing up, I never really worked a traditional job like many of my friends did. Rather I grew up working on our family farm, where my parents still live and work today. Two of the most important qualities passed from one generation to the next in many working families are determination and integrity. Pursuing a career centered around estate planning will allow me to help these same families not only pass down strong character traits, but to also preserve a lasting legacy for future generations.

Although dedication to my legal work is crucial, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends whenever possible. To date, I have traveled across Europe, walked along the beaches of Hawaii, and hiked several miles in Glacier National Park with my friends and family. As a part of an active family, I enjoy both water and snow skiing, and spend quality time doing both each year.

While I have enjoyed spending time with different people, my favorite person to make memories with is my wife, Maci. We met at WKU where we fell in love before moving to Lexington where I attended law school. Some of our favorite hobbies include cheering on the Kentucky Wildcats, cooking dinner together and spending time with our Australian Shepherd, Harper.

I began my education at Western Kentucky University, graduating in 2020 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Economics and minored in Finance. I joined Sigma Chi Fraternity and was selected as a Spirit Master, which served as an official ambassador for the Office of The University President. During my time at WKU, I also worked for United Southern Bank over the summer.

After graduating from WKU, I attended the University of Kentucky for law school. I was a member of the Federalist Society, and during my summers, I interned with Crow Estate Planning and Probate as well as Bluegrass Land Title in Lexington. I believe these previous experiences allowed me to immerse myself into the world of legacy and succession planning.

Upon graduating in 2024, I was happy to accept a full-time position with my previous internship here at Crow, and will serve the greater Hopkinsville area as well as our Tennessee clients with their estate planning and probate matters. I look forward to meeting you and would love to craft a plan that fits your unique situation!
