    Professional misconduct

    This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority.

    1. Admonition
      issued in DC, 2001

      updated

      An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

      Jonathan’s comment: “16 years ago my office made an administrative mistake in not paying a single medical bill of approximately $5,000 where the provider had a lien. We accepted full responsibility for the mistake and paid the provider. The facts are available online. The client suffered no harm, and in fact had the benefit of my law firm's payment of his bill from our fees.”

    Lawyer Stuart L Plotnick

    Stuart Plotnick, Personal injury Attorney on Oct 17, 2013
    Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

    I first had cases against, and have now worked with Jonathan on cases over the passed 20 years . He is one of the most gifted injury attorneys I know, and is always one step ahead of the curve in terms of strategizing his cases and advising his clients. He is not just a practitioner of the law, but a highly-skilled and creative advocate for his clients. His track record of results speaks for itself, and that in great part is due to his tireless preparation of the details of the case, and his knowledge of the law.

    Lawyer Paul H Zukerberg

    Paul Zukerberg, Personal injury Attorney on Oct 3, 2013

    Jonathan is the go-to lawyer for serious personal injury in Virginia. He doesn't take many cases, but if he takes yours, you have already won. He puts enormous effort into each of his cases, and the results show it.
