Jonas K. Seigel was awarded a Master of Laws in Trial Advocacy from Temple University’s James E. Beasley School of Law, following degrees from Goucher College and Thomas M. Cooley Law School. He has litigated cases in both Superior Court and arbitration forums. At present, he manages all pre-litigation files for the firm.

He is a recipient of the New Jersey State Bar Association’s prestigious Young Lawyer Awards for ‘Professional Achievement’ in 2013, and ‘Service to the Community’ in 2009. Mr. Seigel has repeatedly been named as a New Jersey Super Lawyers, “Rising Star,” and as a ‘Top 40 Under 40’ by the National Trial Lawyers. Already a life member of both the Million and Multi-million Dollar Advocates Forum, the Top Trial Lawyers in America and an Editor’s Choice Award recipient for a book that he co-authored entitled, Consumer Advocate, Jonas manages to find the time to volunteer for several charities and lecture to both attorneys and the public on issues of public safety and insurance law.

Additionally, Jonas serves as a Trustee of the Bergen County Bar Association and Foundation, the Passaic County Bar Association and Foundation, and on several committees of the New Jersey State Bar Association. He is a member of the Board of Governors of the New Jersey Association for Justice and a member of the Advisory Board of Paterson Habitat for Humanity.

When Jonas is not fighting on behalf of his clients or engaged in charity work, there is no place he would rather be than with his wife Eliana and their two boys, Max and Luca.
