About Jonathan
Biography
Close to twenty years ago I lost a good friend and two close family members in a tragic car accident caused by the negligence of others. My brother was the lone survivor but suffered extensive injuries. I personally witnessed the hardship this caused my family and the other families involved. For the past 18 years I have been fortunate and privileged to represent others, like my friend and family members, who have been injured or even killed, through no fault of their own. Nothing makes me happier than to make a difference in their lives, and the lives of their family members by aggressively pursuing the compensation that they rightly deserve. I represent people.

Car accident case
I was in a bad car accident that almost cost me my life. Jon Stewart and team fought diligently to get me compensation for my case. Also Tracy helped make all the paper work and the process very smooth. I will be using SMT legal for any case. Thank you Jon and team.

Complete Trust & Confidence
34-years of sea service as a junior enlisted seaman and retiring as a Navy Captain after three successful commands at sea. Had to wait for commissioning to "qualify" for USAA insurance; it was only available to commissioned officers in the 1980s, so I was thrilled to get it. During my nearly 40-years...

"I endorse this lawyer. I met Jonathan as an adversary on a case during my days as an Assistant District Attorney. If the site would allow, I would endorse Jonathan for both Criminal Defense and Personal Injury. Jonathan immediately gained my respect as an honest lawyer who was thoroughly prepared. After several more meetings and several more cases, during which I came to respect him as a lawyer and colleague, we became friends. Jonathan possesses the rare ability to get the opposing lawyer to feel sympathy for his clients despite facts that may go against them. His engaging personality, disarming wit and ease as a conversationalist works well for his clients but also allowed for a simple transition into a friendship. Now having come to know Jonathan on a personal basis, I know why working hard for his clients is one of his callings in life. He truly has a compassion for people, an ability to understand their plight, and the talent to explain that convincingly to adversaries."
