Originally from Long Island, NY, Jonathan lived in various East coast cities as his family relocated based on his father’s military assignments. He began to call North Carolina home in 1992 and stayed in the triangle area while earning his Juris Doctor from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he also completed his undergraduate studies in Journalism and Mass Communication. During law school, Jonathan excelled as a Staff Writer for the First Amendment Law Review and demonstrated his natural leadership as the Dean’s Fellow Coordinator, overseeing the student mentoring program.

Before embarking on his legal career, Jonathan gained valuable experience interning with the Durham City Attorney’s office and working as a summer associate in Hillsborough, NC. His diverse background prepared him well for a multifaceted practice that includes workers’ compensation, employment law and general liability.  Jonathan developed an interest in the law during his time as an undergraduate at UNC-Chapel Hill.

He values the journey each case presents, appreciating the unique path to resolution that each client’s situation requires. His colleagues describe him as reliable, thoughtful, pragmatic, empathetic, and good-humored, qualities that resonate in his professional and personal interactions.

Jonathan is admitted to practice law in North Carolina, as well as before the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of North Carolina, and the Mecklenburg County Bar. He is actively involved in professional organizations such as the NC Bar Association’s Workers’ Compensation Section, the NC Bar Association’s Labor and Employment Law Section, and the North Carolina Association of Defense Attorneys.

Outside his legal practice, Jonathan is committed to giving back to his community, having previously fundraised for the NC Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. His dedication to service extends to his personal life, where he enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, exploring board games, visiting parks, and following his beloved New York Jets (no fair-weather fan, here).

In his leisure time, Jonathan indulges enjoys about history, sports, and politics, as well as enjoying live music and occasionally performing as a stand-up comedian. Jonathan also enjoys travel, internationally and abroad.
