Attorney Ian T. Weldon is the founder of Weldon Law Group, PLLC, and a trusted advocate for individuals and families throughout Jacksonville and Northeast Florida. With more than 18 years of legal experience, he guides clients through immigration issues, criminal charges, divorce and custody disputes, and estate planning with clarity, confidence, and personal care.
Ian built his law practice on a simple principle: Good people deserve strong legal help from someone who truly understands what’s at stake.
Before opening his own firm, Ian Weldon spent over a decade at the Jacksonville Public Defender’s Office, where he handled serious felony cases, including homicides and death penalty trials. That courtroom experience taught him how to fight hard, think clearly under pressure, and protect his clients’ rights no matter the odds.
He also brings a strong financial background to his legal work, with both an MBA from the University of Florida and a master’s degree in accounting from the University of North Florida. This unique combination of trial skills and business insight enables him to handle complex cases with precision and strategy.
Ian’s immigration work is personal. His wife immigrated from Peru, so he has been through the U.S. immigration system as a family member as well as an attorney. He knows what it is like to wait on a decision that shapes a family’s future, and that understanding guides how he works with every client who comes to the firm with an immigration matter. Clients who prefer to speak Spanish are welcome as well. Se habla Español.
More than a decade of defending serious felony cases shaped the way Ian prepares every matter. He studies the facts closely, thinks through what the other side is likely to argue, and gives clients an honest assessment of their options. That same preparation carries into criminal defense, divorce and custody disputes, and immigration cases, where a single decision can change the course of a family’s life.
His training in business and accounting matters too. Divorce cases can turn on the value of a business or a retirement account, and an estate plan depends on knowing what a family owns and how it should pass on. Ian’s MBA and master’s degree in accounting help him read financial records and explain what they mean for each client.
