As an ex-insurance guy, Jon certainly knows the ropes. Jon also tries cases, which is immensely important for any attorney handling disputed matters. If that weren't enough, Jon is extremely well-connected to other lawyers and people in his community. On those rare occasions where I need to refer a matter in the greater Sacramento area, Jon's the guy.

I initially met Jonathan through a list serve that he created, wherein lawyers across the country share ideas and experiences. Since that time, I've gotten to know Jonathan on a more personal level. Hence, I often seek his opinions and counsel on areas of the law in which I do not specialize. Jonathan is very giving of himself to his colleagues, and is well respected in the legal community, and throughout California. I would hire him if I needed a lawyer who practices in his area of expertise. I recommend his without reservation. Randi Susan Klein, Esq.
