Co-counsel and others’ comments

“Jonathan and I represented first and second-to-file relators with potentially significant conflicts. We resolved our clients’ conflicts and now we are co-counsel benefiting both clients. Since 2015 we have cooperated and collaborated through a complex settlement, and defendants’ bankruptcies. Jonathan is persistent and works hard. He stays on top of legal and financial issues and I have every confidence when I rely on him.” Sam S. Sheldon, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd (San Diego). Sam wrote this in 2018, when he was a partner at Quinn Emanuel, Washington DC (which was after he served as Deputy Chief, Criminal Fraud Division, and Chief, Health Care Fraud Unit, United States Department of Justice).

“Jonathan came to my aid recently to counsel me in a group of six state Qui Tam/False Claims Act cases. I had no experience in the field. In an hour and a half, he pointed out more pitfalls in my prosecution of the cases than I could have imagined. I expect another dozen or more of these cases to come my way and for there to be substantial press coverage in the near future. I immediately recommended to my client that we associate Jonathan in the cases. He is easy to work with and his knowledge of the field is impressive.” Judge Frank A. Shepard (ret.), Miami.

“I hired Jonathan for expert consultation in a Qui Tam/False Claim Act case. He provided outstanding expertise and assistance. His engagement as an expert in a fee dispute between two prominent South Florida trial lawyers required a mastery of the many and varied aspects of False Claims Act litigation. His involvement was of definite assistance in bringing about a fair resolution.” Benedict P. Kuehne, Kuehne Davis Law, P.A., Miami.

“Jonathan is a smart, legally-creative thinker. He works hard for his clients, constantly trying to stay one step ahead for their benefit.

He does what he says and is a true partner. “ Mitch Kreindler, Kreindler & Associates, Houston.

Personally and professionally, I enjoyed working with him.” Phil Benson, Warren | Benson Law Group, Los Angeles, San Diego, Minneapolis.
