Practice Areas

Employment and Labor 50%

We consult with, advise and represent employees and executives in all facets of their employment. Offer letter / contract negotiations, on-the-job counseling, severance negotiations, non-compete and IP issues, whistleblower retaliation & litigation.

37 years | 5,000 cases

50%
Arbitration 20%

FINRA, JAMS and AAA arbitrations are more common now that most employers require employees to consent to adjudicate employment disputes in confidential arbitration forums. We regularly handle client disputes and look forward to handling litigations.

37 years | 200 cases

20%
Litigation 15%

We negotiate / mediate client matters, and when a fair result cannot be obtained, we litigate cases involving non-competes, trade secrets, bonus and deferred compensation, discrimination and wrongful termination in all courts and arbitration forums.

37 years | 400 cases

15%
Discrimination 10%

We handle discrimination cases asserting gender, national origin, race, skin color, age, religion, familial status, disability, retaliation or sexual orientation. You are protected by City, State and Federal Laws. I was a mediator for the EEOC.

37 years | 500 cases

10%
Expungement 5%

We routinely handle the negotiation of U-5s, and we file FINRA Arbitrations to expunge a negative, defamatory, incomplete or false U-5 filing. The U-5 is a minefield, often branding employees as bad actors, impairing one's re-employment prospects.

A true professional and a fighter

I have been Jon's client for 4 years on couple high stake cases. He truly delivers big. He is a hard worker and has been always available rain or shine. His partners Eric Stern and Michael Mui are on top of their game and have a true insight on how the case is going and how to push it to a win. ... I highly recommend Jon

best of breed -- poised to be your advocate

I interviewed 9 attorneys before hiring Jonathan. I chose him because I wanted an advocate, a champion and someone who had my back. When working in a hostile environment where 'employment' means uncivil and zero-sum treatment, you want a coach to direct you through, give you a game plan and assure... your release. Jonathan speaks to corporate legal departments as their peer and your champion. If you want pussyfooting and coddling, don't hire him. If you want results, direct talk and action, he will get you to the other side with the liberation, compensation and results you ask him to achieve. I have referred others to Jonathan for similar result.

One of the WORST in the business

The other one star reviews are 100% accurate. He is a vile human being and is fake nice at first only to turn on you once he thinks your case isn’t worth millions. He pawns you off on junior staffers who are just as incompetent. He expects clients to write their own complaints! I’m not a lawyer! Mess...ed up my entire case and I walked away with nothing.

Didn't handle case properly

Didn't handle case properly. He totally misjudged the situation, which resulted in very poor compensation from an employment termination case.

Some clients have an unrealistic sense of what their case is worth. With a contingency fee arrangement, our interests are aligned with the client's interests. We always try to zealously represent a client to maximize the outcome and achieve the client's goals.

AVOID!!!!!! TOTAL HACK!

I wish that I could give him ZERO stars. All bark and no bite. Total unprofessional, would cancel appointments while I was on the subway on my way to his office. He pawns you off on junior lawyers in the office as he's too busy vacationing around the world. Does not stick to deadlines and makes y...ou CHASE after him for answers. He is rude, dishonest, and unprofessional. All talk. Be promised big compensation and delivered NOTHING. Wish that I could get that time back and scrub him from my memory.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
