Jonah M. Wolfson

Jonah Wolfson is the managing partner of Wolfson & Leon, and he still works cases with his own hands. His week is spent with clients going over their medical care, with crash reports and treatment records, and with insurance adjusters, to whom he sends written demands. He questions drivers and store managers under oath in depositions, and when an insurer refuses a fair number, he files the lawsuit and takes the case to a jury.

He knows how the other side thinks because he worked there first. After joining the Florida Bar in 2001, he spent three years at a Miami litigation firm defending insurance companies. Since 2005 he has represented injured people and no one else. He also interned at the Cook County Public Defender in Chicago, trying cases to verdict while still a law student. Jonah was born and raised in Miami.

From 2007 to 2015 he held office for two terms on the Miami Beach City Commission, chairing its committees on Land Use, Finance, Flooding, and Sustainability. The Florida Justice Association counts him as an Eagle Member.

If Jonah is listed as the reviewer of an article here, he has handled cases like the one it describes, and he checked that it says what he would tell a client sitting across from him.
