Overview

Known for his exceptional writing skills and oral advocacy, Jonathan has an innate ability to make cases understandable and palatable for his clients. He has a knack for diffusing volatile situations and fostering collegial, trusting relationships with them.

Jonathan approaches cases holistically, focusing on the plaintiff’s entire life rather than just the incident at issue. This approach enables him to best analyze the fact pattern to determine the viability of the claims and formulate an effective defense strategy.

Jonathan is experienced in all facets of a case, from taking depositions, of which he has conducted many, to writing motions and appeals and second seating trials. Two standout cases involve plaintiff demands of $20 million and $17 million; the first was resolved with complete dismissal, and the second went to trial and concluded with a resolution that far exceeded the client’s expectations.
