Jonah M. Wolfson

As managing partner, Jonah Wolfson sets the direction of Wolfson & Leon and still carries his own caseload. His work runs from the first phone call with a client to the courtroom: going through hospital records and crash reports, preparing demands to insurers, deposing drivers, property managers, and corporate witnesses, and filing suit when an insurance company will not pay fair value.

He knows how the other side thinks because he worked there. After his admission to The Florida Bar in 2001, Jonah spent three years defending insurance carriers at a Miami litigation firm. Since 2005 he has represented injured people and nobody else. As a law student at Chicago-Kent, he interned with the Cook County Public Defender and tried cases through to verdict.

A Miami native, Jonah served two terms on the Miami Beach City Commission from 2007 to 2015, chairing committees on land use, finance, flooding, and sustainability. He is an Eagle Member of the Florida Justice Association and is admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the federal court that sits in West Palm Beach for Palm Beach County cases.

He reviews articles on this site the same way he reviews a case: the answer has to be the one he would give a client sitting across from him.
