Learn Jonathan’s areas of practice.

Mr. Davidoff’s extensive experience and education is an asset to our firm and invaluable to our clients. Mr. Davidoff is admitted to practice in the state courts of Florida, Massachusetts (inactice), New York, federal courts in Florida and New York, the United States Tax Court, and the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Davidoff earned his Bachelors of Arts in Political Science and Bachelors of Business Administration from Emory University, a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Miami, a Juris Doctor from New York Law School (magna cum laude), and a Master of Legal Letters in Taxation from New York University School of Law. Having previously served as a prosecutor for several years and represented clients involved in small and large matters, Mr. Davidoff is able to view cases from a very multifaceted perspective.

 

Mr. Davidoff has represented clients such as: attorneys from large law firms such as Latham & Watkins, LLP and Kelley Dry & Warren, LLP who were involved in criminal tax matters, investment bankers from Bank of America (the Parmalat transactions) and Enron Corporation who were involved in two of the world’s largest corporate collapses, a former federal government employee in New Jersey Federal Court on theft of government funds (Section 8 housing), and clients charged with life felonies to simple misdemeanor and DUI/DWI charges. Mr. Davidoff is also able to handle commercial matters involving criminal issues, such as when he represented a client whose attorney forged the buyers’ signature in a mortgage note, clients whose multi-million dollar company purchased was actually a worthless entity, a client who sought a divorce based on domestic violence, clients whose restaurant was purchased based on fraud and deception, as well as matters involving corporations such as Hewlett-Packard and the grey market.

 

Mr. Davidoff has obtained excellent outcomes for his criminal clients, including dismissal of an Indictment for a radiologist client in the largest health insurance fraud case brought in New York, a minimal incarceration sentence for a DUI manslaughter client, and a probation only plea in an attempted murder/armed kidnapping case where the client was facing two life sentences.

 

Mr. Davidoff has been equally successful in his representation of clients in civil matters.  Mr. Davidoff has been able to obtain great results for his civil clients including dismissal of medical malpractice cases, dismissal of RICO claims, monetary judgments for civil theft clients, and non-inclusion in civil fraud cases.

Josh's Review for Jonathan
Jonathan was recommended to me by our company's lawyer and he really did a great job for me with my case. He is extremely knowledgeable and made sure to keep me informed throughout. If there was a choice above that stated "would you HIGHLY" recommend this lawyer I would have chosen it. Thanks again Jonathan!

Jonathan Davidoff was more than a lawyer, he was an advisor and a friend
Jonathan represented me in connection with an indictment by New York State that I had not filed or paid income taxes for many years. He explained the process to me and my wife. He negotiated with the assistant district attorney with the result that the felony indictment was reduced to a misdemeanor. He also worked with accountants and with me to get all our state and federal tax matters resolved. In all of this, he was more than a lawyer, he was an advisor and a friend.

Excellent help
Jonathan Davidoff provided me with quality assistance during a difficult time. His professionalism and kindness shine through his commendable efforts and successes, and are worth praise. His ability to make you feel comfort in an uncomfortable situation is admirable and greatly appreciated.

trustworthy attorney
Jonathan was extremely attentative to my needs. He was a pitbull when he needed to be and didnt take any BS from opposing council when he tried to play games. He was able to come to a settlement that was above what we were expecting to settle on from the beginning. He was very fair, but not cheap, when it came to his bills. In the end, it was well worth it. I would feel confident using him again and telling friends to use him also (as I have numerous times).

The best defense lawyer on the east coast
It was very hard to put my trust In Jonathan knowing that I was looking at two life sentences, we butted heads often and he would always tell me to just be patient and wait for the end result. Believe me that patience was the last thing I was thinking about, bit I hung in there and the end result was more than I could have ever imagined. I ended up with only probation and got to see the birth of my daughter which was the hardest part for me thinking that I would miss being there for her. I owe everything to Jonathan and I don't think he understands how truly thankful I am for having him as my attorney. A whole new world has been opened up for me thanks to Jonathan.

Great lawyer I highly recommend
Jonathan Davidoff represented me on several matters over the past ten years. They included civil litigation which he filed on my behalf concerning fraud, defamation of character, and a RICO cause of action. Due in part to his excellent counsel concerning my civil litigation, I recently got my permanent alimony obligation terminated. He helped me in a criminal matter when my teenage daughter got caught shoplifting. I was very happy with the outcomes on all the issues he represented me with, and highly recommend him. I feel he is a very competent and knowledgeable attorney who presents well in court, and easy to work with.

Jonathan its an amazing lawyer, he is veryyy smart,talented, hard worker, honest, always trying to be fair..I've known him for more than 3 years already since I decided to hire him for my criminal case. There are two things that I admire from him as a good lawyer that he is, most of the lawyer have a secretary or paralegal that do most of the work for them like answering the phone, leaving mesaages, even go to court for them, Davidoff its the only lawyer that I know that answer his clients texts messages, calls, e- mails, and itsnt because he is not too busy, he is a very busy attorney and I dont even know how can he handle everything himself wish is so important because you never know if you have an emergency or an important question to ask that can change the result of your case and its out of "his work's hours" you could be in trouble just because of that. When I received letters from the judge , I would tell him and he will call right away and make sure everything was ok. He could be very serius when the clients dont fallow his "rules" and he will always try to put a smile in your face. I had recommended to 3 people that I know , two of them very close to me but completely diferent cases, and all of them were and are very happy with the results. Everybudy think about the money when they ask how much " a lawyer" charge, and of course he is not one of the cheapest one but he deserve every penny that he charge for, and many many lawyer out there thats just have a tittle but aren't lawyers!! So be carefull who you shoose. Jonathan let me take this space to thank you once againg for all you did for my case and for me, you are more than my lawyer now, you are my friend, and even tho I wont need to hire any more lawers ;) if I have to pick again I will hire you,but since that is not happening i will keep recommending you to every single person that I know that need your services, money its not everything , I paid you , and it was a big effort , but what I will pay you the rest of my days its your intensions. Thanks .. Ady

Testimonial
I heartily recommend Jonathan Davidoff. He was superb in the handling of my divorce in 2005, especially since he is licensed in New York and Florida. His fees are reasonable and I would have paid more! I thank him so much for making a hard time of life as easy as possible. Sincerely, Silvana
