About Jonathan
Biography
I’m a seasoned criminal defense and civil rights attorney with over eight years of litigation experience in New York City, including 600+ serious felony cases and complex federal matters. I began my legal career as a prosecutor in the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office, where I handled violent felonies, sex crimes, and grand jury presentations. Today, I use that courtroom experience to fight for individuals facing the full weight of the justice system.
I represent clients in all five boroughs and Long Island in cases involving:
• Homicide and attempted murder
• Gun and weapon possession
• Federal conspiracy and white-collar offenses
• Sex crimes and family offenses
• Drug charges, vehicular crimes, and juvenile matters
I have appeared in both state and federal courts (SDNY and EDNY), and I’m known for my trial readiness, motion writing, and ability to uncover unlawful police procedures, suppress unconstitutional evidence, and negotiate favorable outcomes when appropriate.
Whether your case requires aggressive defense at trial or thoughtful strategy behind the scenes, I bring compassion, discretion, and determination to every client I serve.

Criminal case
Jon really cares about a good or a great outcome in any situation. He did his job and made me look like the good person that I am in the eyes of the DA. I would hire him again or consult with him on anything related to the law.
