Prior to joining the firm, Jonathan operated as a solo practitioner in his general practice.  Jonathan is a second-generation Asian American with deep roots, understanding, ties, and appreciation of the immigrant community.  His affinity for zealous advocacy is derived from his passion to be the voice that is often left unheard and desire to serve the people that make our community.
