About

Jonathan has over 35 years of experience in complex civil litigation throughout California. His practice has focused on construction defect, personal injury, and toxic torts including mold exposure and Legionnaires Disease.

In the construction arena, he has represented subcontractors, general contractors and materials suppliers in a broad range of multi-family, single family and high-end custom home construction cases as well as subcontractors and general contractors involved with commercial construction projects. He has extensive experience in cases involving various types of siding products, building cladding systems, windows and doors, roofing systems, sheet metal, concrete, ceramic tile and paving systems, swimming pools and cases involving geotechnical issues such as land subsidence, soil-driven building foundation distress or failure, landslides and issues of expansive soils.

In all litigation matters, Jonathan believes that a collaborative effort with clients and a focus on gathering essential information from both clients and opposing counsel as soon as possible, exploring the potential for early, creative solutions, and resisting formulaic and reactive strategies are essential to favorable results in all of his cases.
