He has written more than 275 appellate briefs and presented more than 125 appellate oral arguments, including 14 before the Supreme Court of Missouri. He is admitted to practice before all state and federal courts in Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois, every U.S. Court of Appeals circuit nationwide, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
Jonathan has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America© for appellate practice every year since 2015 and in Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers every year since 2014 (including in 2016 and 2019 on its "Top 100" list for both states and its "Top 50" list for the Kansas City metropolitan area, the youngest person on either list either year, and previously on its "Rising Stars" list from 2010-2013), and has received Martindale-Hubbell®'s highest peer review rating, AV® Preeminent™, every year since 2012.
