I’ve been a licensed attorney for more than 16 years, proudly serving clients in Beaumont, Texas, and the surrounding Southeast Texas region. My practice focuses on criminal defense, including DUI and DWI cases, as well as expungement and record sealing. I understand how overwhelming it can be to face the criminal justice system, and I’m committed to standing beside my clients every step of the way—protecting their rights, fighting for their freedom, and working toward the best possible outcome.

My path to criminal defense began at Lamar University, where I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance in 2003. I went on to earn my law degree from South Texas College of Law in 2007 and have dedicated my career to criminal defense ever since. I’ve represented thousands of individuals charged with everything from misdemeanors to serious felonies, and I know how much is at stake for every person who walks through my door.

One of the most important milestones in my career was becoming Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. This certification represents more than just experience—it reflects a commitment to excellence, advanced knowledge in criminal law, and a track record of professionalism and ethical standards. Fewer than 10% of attorneys in Texas hold this certification, and I’m proud to be among them.

I take a hands-on, client-focused approach to every case. I make it a priority to listen, to communicate clearly, and to ensure my clients always know where their case stands. Whether someone is facing a first-time DWI or looking to clear a past mistake from their record, I believe they deserve honest guidance, strong advocacy, and respectful representation.

Over the years, I’ve built strong relationships in the legal community and earned a reputation for thorough preparation, smart strategy, and determined courtroom presence. I’m not afraid to take a case to trial when needed, and I’m always prepared to negotiate from a position of strength. My goal is simple: to protect my clients' futures and help them move forward with confidence.

Practicing law is more than just a career for me—it’s a calling. Every client I represent is a person with a story, a family, and a future. I don’t take that lightly. I’m here to help people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives, and I consider it a privilege to earn their trust.



If you're facing criminal charges or need help clearing your record, I’m here to help you understand your options and build a strong defense that puts your future first.

I’m Jonathan Lee Stovall, a Board Certified Family Law attorney based in Texas, with a career rooted in dedication, integrity, and a deep commitment to serving families during life’s most challenging transitions. Since earning my Juris Doctor from Texas Tech University School of Law in 2008, I’ve spent my entire legal career helping clients navigate complex legal matters with confidence and compassion.

My journey into law began with a strong academic foundation. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Lamar University in 2004, where I developed an early interest in the societal impact of the law. That passion led me to Texas Tech Law School, where I honed my courtroom skills and was honored to be inducted into the Order of the Barristers by the Texas Tech Law School Board of Barristers. This recognition reflected my advocacy skills and dedication to legal excellence early in my career.

In 2008, I joined Galmor, Stovall, & Gilthrope , and I've proudly served as a partner here ever since. Over the years, I’ve built a family law practice that prioritizes personalized attention, practical guidance, and strong legal advocacy. I understand that family law cases are more than legal problems—they’re personal and emotional. My role is to guide clients through divorce, custody, and property issues with the clarity and respect they deserve.

In 2019, I was honored to become Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. This certification is held by fewer than 1% of Texas attorneys and is a mark of distinction that demonstrates my experience, deep knowledge, and commitment to continuing education in the field of family law.

Outside of the courtroom, I believe in the importance of contributing to the legal community and staying engaged with fellow professionals. I’ve been an active member of the Jefferson County Bar Association and the Jefferson County Young Lawyer’s Association since 2008. These organizations provide a platform for mentorship, collaboration, and giving back to our community.

Speaking and education have also been a meaningful part of my professional path. I’ve presented at local continuing legal education (CLE) events, including the 2013 CLE Update on “Family Law 2013 Legislative Updates.” That same year, I spoke at the Jefferson County Pro Bono Luncheon on “Ethics and Music,” a unique opportunity to explore legal ethics through the lens of creativity and culture.

Whether I’m in the courtroom or at the negotiating table, I work diligently to protect my clients’ interests and achieve outcomes that support their long-term wellbeing. Every family’s story is different, and I take pride in crafting legal strategies that reflect those unique needs and circumstances.

If you're seeking experienced, compassionate representation in family law matters, I’m here to help. My team and I are committed to guiding you through the legal process with professionalism, clarity, and care.

My name is Jared Levi Gilthrope, and I’ve been a licensed attorney for over 14 years, proudly serving individuals and families across Texas. I earned my law degree from the University of Houston Law Center, and since the beginning of my legal career, I’ve dedicated myself to providing strong, compassionate advocacy for clients facing some of life’s most difficult challenges.

My practice focuses on three key areas: immigration law, criminal defense, and personal injury. Whether I’m fighting for someone’s right to remain in the United States, defending against serious criminal charges, or helping accident victims pursue the compensation they deserve, my goal is always the same—protect my clients’ rights, stand by them through every step of the legal process, and deliver results they can count on.

I understand the personal and emotional weight legal issues carry, especially when someone’s future, freedom, or well-being is on the line. That’s why I take the time to listen to my clients, explain their options clearly, and build a legal strategy tailored to their unique needs.

I’m also proud to serve both English- and Spanish-speaking clients. Being fluent in Spanish allows me to connect directly with members of our diverse community and ensure they feel heard and understood throughout their case.

Over the past 14 years, I’ve earned the trust of my clients by being accessible, honest, and relentless in my pursuit of justice. If you’re facing a legal challenge and need a dedicated attorney who will treat your case with the urgency and care it deserves, I’m here to help.
