As managing attorney at Rosenstein Law Group, he handles everything from DUIs, drug offenses, assault charges, domestic violence charges, disorderly conduct charges, and misdemeanors to complex felonies, delivering exceptional results in courtrooms across the state.
Jonathan combines aggressive courtroom advocacy with genuine client compassion, bringing a comprehensive and individualized approach to each case. He leaves no stone unturned in fighting for the best possible outcome. Jonathan has won countless jury trials and earned many complete dismissals for his clients by successfully arguing numerous types of pretrial motions throughout Arizona courts.

This prestigious credential highlights his exceptional knowledge of DUI law and defense strategies. His insider knowledge as a former Maricopa County Deputy Attorney and Assistant Arizona Attorney General provides clients with a powerful strategic advantage.
