About Jonathan
Jonathan A. Weinman co-founded Broslavsky & Weinman, LLP in 2013 after building his career representing employees. He earned his Bachelor of Arts, with honors, from the University of Southern California, and his Juris Doctor from the Southwestern Law School.
He also holds a Master of Dispute Resolution from Pepperdine University’s Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution and a Certificate in Dispute Resolution from Erasmus University in Rotterdam, and he has more than two decades of domestic and international dispute-resolution experience, having served on mediation panels throughout Southern California, including through the Los Angeles Superior Court. Jonathan previously worked as an Attorney-Mediator for the California Civil Rights Department (CRD), the largest state civil rights agency in the United States, where he assisted parties in resolving employment disputes.
He is licensed to practice in all California courts and before the U.S. District Courts for the Central, Eastern, and Northern Districts of California.
Why He Represents Employees
Jonathan focuses exclusively on the side of employees because workplace disputes strike at a person’s livelihood and dignity, and employees usually face a significant power imbalance: employers control their jobs and pay and typically have HR staff and company lawyers behind them.
By representing individual employees rather than corporations, he is able to focus entirely on protecting workers’ rights, holding employers accountable, and pursuing meaningful results.
Jonathan brings that commitment to his litigation practice, including when employers attempt to withhold evidence. In one matter, for example, he represented an employee against a serial harasser whom the company had repeatedly failed to discipline and kept in a supervisory role. The company denied wrongdoing, initially refused to settle, and fought discovery. After persistent litigation and repeatedly prevailing in court to compel critical evidence, the firm forced a substantial settlement and the company was finally held accountable.
Practice Focus
Jonathan represents employees throughout California in:
- Sexual harassment and hostile work environment, including quid pro quo and third-party harassment and employer failure to prevent harassment
- Wrongful termination, including discriminatory, retaliatory, and constructive discharge
- Workplace discrimination, including age, disability, race, and gender and pregnancy discrimination
- Whistleblower and retaliation claims
- Wage-and-hour violations, including class actions and PAGA representative actions
- Family and medical leave (FMLA/CFRA), reasonable-accommodation failures, and breach of employment contract and fraud
The firm also handles consumer class actions and general civil litigation.
