“I have had the benefit of working alongside Jonathan for the entirety of my legal career. Not only is he one of the best attorneys in the business, but he is a great mentor and leader. He fights tirelessly for his clients; he is always ready to get aggressive to achieve each client's goals. He never shies away from a fight. I have been very privileged to learn from Jonathan and can't recommend him enough to any family law client looking for a top-notch advocate.”
