Notable Decisions/Results

Jonathan succeeded on a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed in connection with a work-related accident by showing through affidavits and work records that the plaintiff was laid off several days before the claimed date of loss. The motion, was granted unopposed as plaintiff’s counsel withdrew upon learning that the accident was fabricated. Jonathan’s diligent investigation led to a great result for his client.

Jonathan has secured multiple favorable settlements in cases with significant exposure shortly before trial.
