Jonathan’s connection to the legal profession began early, growing up as the child of two attorneys. His childhood experience with legal matters sparked a deep passion for the law, which was further developed through practical work during his undergraduate studies at the University of Missouri.

Jonathan then attended Pepperdine University School of Law, where he was a member of Pepperdine’s nationally recognized Trial Team. Jonathan excelled at Pepperdine, winning the Best Closing Argument at the San Fernando Valley Bar Association’s Mock Trial Tournament and two CALI Awards for academic excellence. Upon graduation, Jonathan was named to the Order of Barristers for excellence in oral advocacy and brief writing. 

Following law school, Jonathan worked as an attorney at the headquarters of one of Orange County’s largest litigation firms. Jonathan represented clients in a variety of civil litigation matters, including business litigation, trucking/transportation litigation, professional liability disputes, and financial services litigation. 

Jonathan then advanced his career at one of California’s top business litigation and professional liability firms, where he refined his advocacy skills and represented both plaintiffs and defendants. 

Jonathan is actively engaged in the Orange County community, currently serving as the Community Outreach Chair for the Orange County Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Division. When Jonathan is not practicing law, he enjoys spending time with his family, running with his dogs, and playing golf and baseball.
