Expertise

Trial experience across civil matters.

Twenty years of practice in the State and Federal courts of Virginia — including general litigation, intellectual property litigation, contract disputes, collection matters, domain name ownership disputes, administration of estates and trusts, adult guardianships and conservatorships, and representation of children as Guardian ad litem.

Civil Litigation

Jonathan's litigation experience — both as a paralegal with a large firm and as a sole practitioner — has provided him with the skills to handle almost any litigation matter. Resolution of disputes, whether on behalf of plaintiffs or defendants, is a key element of the practice. Sometimes disputes can be resolved without resorting to litigation; sometimes, litigation is the only way to adequately protect your rights. Either way, twenty years of continual trial work inform every step.

Intellectual Property & Domain Name Disputes

In association with Greenberg & Lieberman LLC, Westreich Law provides legal services related to domain name ownership disputes as well as other intellectual property disputes. The combination of the two offices provides a depth of knowledge regarding the law of intellectual property and trial experience that is simply unmatched elsewhere.

Contract Disputes

Jonathan has experience handling a wide range of contractual disputes — from disputes over payment to problems with construction contracts, termite contracts, and other service contracts. His direct approach — what does the contract say, and was it done? — is an effective way to achieve results, whether by agreement or after trial.

Estates & Trusts

When a family member passes away, the last thing you want to be thinking about is handling their affairs. Jonathan helps ensure that the estate is properly administered so the decedent's wishes are carried out as quickly, and as inexpensively, as possible. He has handled many such matters — from the simple to the complex — including fixing problems created by other administrators.

He has also created and operated adult guardianships and conservatorships, ensuring the matter is properly established and that the required periodic filings are made to the Commissioner of Accounts. He can also serve as Trustee to ensure your wishes are carried out.

Collection Matters

There is little more frustrating than not being paid for your work. Jonathan has experience handling collection matters before the General District Court, the Circuit Court, and the U.S. District Court. In addition to getting the judgment, he is experienced in turning your judgment into cash by finding and attaching assets — whether bank accounts, physical assets, or intellectual property such as patents.

Federal Litigation & Guardian ad litem

The practice includes substantial experience before U.S. District Courts and representation of children as Guardian ad litem — ensuring that minor interests are protected, represented, and advanced independently of their guardians or parents when appropriate.
