Lawyer Monthly - October 2021 Edition

More About Jonathan... What can you tell us about your journey into law? I knew at a very early age that I wanted to be a lawyer. My aunt was an attorney and I saw how people would come to her with questions and look to her for advice. I followed her journey and even went to the same law school as her, Loyola Law School. What motivates you to obtain the best possible results for your clients? It is extremely gratifying to right a wrong that an employer has inflicted on an employee. We have been blessed to help change clients’ lives for the better. That is what drives us to get great results. Do you have a career goal that youwould like to achieve in the coming 12months? As a firm, our goal is to go to trial at least 5 to 7 times per year. We believe it is essential to tell the story of our clients to as many juries as will listen and to help achieve justice. Only then will defendants and their insurers start to realize the value of these cases and pay accordingly.
