Attorney Profiles

Jonathan L. Warshaw is the sole attorney at the practice. His background spans law enforcement, prosecution, and criminal defense, giving him firsthand experience with how cases are built by police and argued by prosecutors before he began defending clients against those same types of charges.

As a former police officer, Warshaw understands the procedural rules governing arrests, searches, and sobriety testing. When those procedures are not followed correctly, he knows how to identify and argue the deviation. As a former prosecutor, he understands how the opposing side evaluates cases, selects charges, and prepares for trial, allowing him to anticipate and respond to prosecutorial strategy from the defense table.

This combination of backgrounds is particularly relevant in DUI cases, where both police procedure during the traffic stop and sobriety testing, and prosecutorial strategy around chemical test evidence, are central to the outcome.
