BIO
Jonathan Goldman, having joined the firm in September 2021 after passing the Massachusetts Bar, is the newest associate and works primarily between the partners, assisting them in their cases and doing the work expected from a “newly-minted” practicing attorney.
Despite the Covid-19 Pandemic, Jonathan continued his law school career online (via Zoom) and graduated from the University of Massachusetts School of Law in June 2021. After two internships at the District Attorney’s Office in Fall River, MA, Jonathan completed an independent study project on the Supreme Court’s infamous case, Wilburn Boat, under the direct supervision of one of the school’s top deans.
Jonathan received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, graduating in the Spring of 2010. Like his older brother Michael, he also served in the United States Marine Corps and was deployed to Fallujah, Iraq, in 2006 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, achieving the rank of Sergeant before being honorably discharged in 2010.
Unlike his two siblings, Jonathan’s journey to law school wasn’t as smooth. Jonathan spent time abroad working and traveling before committing to the legal profession. He still enjoys trips to far-off lands, trying to see as much of the world as possible.
