Jonah M. Wolfson Esq.

Jonah Wolfson, Esq., is a Miami native whose roots in the city run deep. Growing up and attending high school locally, Jonah developed a strong connection to his hometown. He then set out to pursue his academic aspirations at Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, majoring in English. To support himself financially during college, Jonah took on a unique challenge and worked on a commercial fishing boat in the picturesque town of Gloucester, Massachusetts. After successfully completing his undergraduate studies, Jonah embarked on a soul-searching journey, spending nearly five months hiking the Appalachian Trail, gaining insights that would shape his approach to life and law. This transformative experience inspired him to pursue a legal education at Chicago-Kent College of Law. While in law school, Jonah immersed himself in the world of criminal defense as an intern at the Cook County Office of the Public Defender, gaining invaluable courtroom experience by trying numerous cases to verdict. It was in Chicago where he also met his future wife, Andrea, who became his partner in both life and law. Following the completion of his legal studies, Jonah returned to Miami, passed the bar exam on his first attempt, and has since been devoted to practicing personal injury law. His legal expertise extends to representing both Plaintiffs and Defendants in complex tort cases, covering wrongful death, car accidents, motorcycles, slip and fall, negligent security, medical malpractice, legal malpractice, and other intricate scenarios. Nonetheless, Jonah found his true calling in representing Plaintiffs exclusively, advocating for victims of negligence since 2005. Before focusing solely on Plaintiff representation, he spent over three years practicing insurance defense litigation at Valle, Craig, Sioli, and Lynott, PA. Beyond his legal endeavors, Jonah is committed to public service, which led to his election to the Miami Beach City Commission in 2007. During his time as a commissioner, Jonah chaired various significant committees, including Land Use, Finance, Flooding, and Sustainability. His dedication to serving the community was evident in his leadership role in the successful "Let Miami Beach Decide" campaign, which fought against a mega development on public land through strategic petition gathering and litigation. Jonah also takes on special cases involving victims of overdevelopment, such as condo associations or residents, as a testament to his unwavering commitment to public service.
