He has obtained successful verdicts and awards before judges, juries and arbitration panels. He has handled matters before the courts in Bucks, Delaware, Carbon, Chester, Lancaster, Lehigh, Luzerne, Monroe, Montgomery, Northampton, and Philadelphia Counties in Pennsylvania, as well as in the Counties of Warren and Sussex in New Jersey. In addition to being licensed to practice law in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Jonathan is admitted to practice in Federal Court in the Eastern District and before the United States Supreme Court.

Above and beyond!
