Jonathan advised me through the negotiation of a structurally complicated situation. Gave valuable advice on negotiating, which in the end came to a resolution for which he did not need to get involved directly and for which he only charged a small fee to review the agreements. Yes, he can be very to... the point and sometimes hard to reach ... but able to read a situation very well, is efficient and honorable.

I first became aware of Jonathan when he represented a former employee of my then current firm. I was head of HR and dealt with the matter for the firm. I had seen him in action from the "other" side. Several months later when I needed a lawyer, he was my first and only choice and it was a good on...e. He is a tireless and ferocious advocate for his clients and I believe intimidated the other side. He negotiated a much better settlement than the one I was offered. Yes, he is edgy, doesn't suffer fools very well on either side of the dispute, but at the end of the day is a very decent human being - (don't tell anybody).

I was terminated from my job at an investment bank, and was treated unfairly. I went to several employment attorneys, and they all refused my case becasue there was no "smoking gun." Jonathan was able to get me what I deserved. His best skill is good-old-fashioned tenacity. You want him on your s...ide. Period.
