About Jonathan
Biography
I went to law school at one of our nation's finest schools at the University of California at Irvine, where I took advanced courses in criminal law and procedure. I believe everyone deserves a complete defense. I believe in helping my clients address not only their legal problems, but all the complications they can cause. Since 2011 I have worked on cases ranging from petty theft to murder. I interned with the Orange County Public Defender's office, assisting with a range of matters at various stages of a case. This included helping indigent clients file for expungements at no cost as part of their "New Leaf" program. In 2016 I began working for one of California's top DUI defense firms. For two years I worked tirelessly on the most serious DUI cases, ranging from first offense DUI's to vehicular manslaughter and DUI murder. Since January of 2018 I have opened my own practice so that I can better cater to my clients on their terms. I am trial tested across a range of cases. As parft of my commitment to clients I don't believe in screening calls, or making clients speak to assistants and receptionists. I believe every client deserves to have an attentive and aggressive attorney. I understand being charged with a crime is scary. I personally handle each and every case that comes across my desk. I never have another attorney handle my cases.
I do not charge for a consultation. Call me and let's start planning your defense.

2nd DUI and Probation Violation in OC
I got my 2nd DUI within a year while I was still on probation - and like anyone looking at these reviews for a lawyer I was freaking out! I contacted Aspen Law Group, they got me in touch with Jonathan, and within 5 minutes of talking to him I was completely at ease with the whole situation. He w...

3rd D.U.I. - No Jail Time
I got my third DUI with a high B.A.C I thought for sure that I was going to do a year in jail as a result. However, Jonathon prompted me on the necessary steps to take leading to my court date which resulted in NO jail time. I have classes, etc . . . but they are far better than jail. Jonathon not...

Great Lawyer
I was terrified and desperate. Facing a probation violation and a 2nd DUI is something that I wouldn't wish on anyone, but that was the situation I found myself in. When I got in contact with Mr Reza he was on point with his knowledge, my concerns (which like most people is just staying out of jail),...
