Jonathan has tried multiple jury cases to verdict and achieved favorable settlements on behalf of his clients. He has taken and defended scores of depositions, managed expert-heavy litigation, and argued dispositive motions in state and federal court. Clients rely on his ability to quickly assess exposure, craft clear litigation strategy, and communicate risk to business stakeholders.
Before joining Sanders Roberts LLP, Jonathan served more than four years as lead appellate counsel for the U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA), where he presented multiple federal appellate oral arguments resulting in published decisions. During his tenure at the VA, he was competitively selected as a Congressional Fellow and advised a senior Member of Congress on legislative funding and appropriations matters.
Jonathan then transitioned to private practice at Horvitz & Levy LLP, representing clients before the California Courts of Appeal, the Ninth Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court. His written advocacy includes an amici curiae brief cited by Justice Alito in Groff v. DeJoy, 600 U.S. 447 (2023). He later served as in-house trial counsel for State Farm, where he gained extensive jury trial and courtroom experience in personal injury and high-exposure civil cases.
Jonathan is a graduate of The Ohio State University, a former NCAA student-athlete, and a proud veteran of the Ohio Army National Guard.
