Introduction

One Professional. Two Areas of Expertise.

Most homeowners are forced to choose between a builder who understands construction and an attorney who understands the paperwork. Jonathan bridges both — bringing licensed contractor judgment and trained legal insight to every project, contract, and decision you make about your home.

Construction Knowledge

Decades-deep understanding of California residential building, code, and contractor practice.

Legal Insight

Trained legal perspective on contracts, compliance, and homeowner rights.

Real-World Experience

Boots-on-site judgment from permits and plans to disputes and documentation.

Homeowner Protection

An independent advocate working for your interest — never the other side of the table.

What Jonathan Does

Two practice areas. One trusted advisor.

Whether you're breaking ground on a remodel or reviewing a complicated contract, you get a single calm voice on your side — fluent in both worlds.
