| Bio |
Jonas K. Seigel grew up in his father’s personal injury law office – today he shares a partner’s desk with his father and hero. However, the road from learning the value of a dollar while working after school and weekends at his father’s law firm to managing the firm was a long one, and almost never happened.
It was the week before his last semester of law school when Jonas packed up his Jeep and drove from Michigan to New Orleans to volunteer his last vacation days with Habitat for Humanity to help rebuild the Lower 9th Ward after Hurricane Katrina destroyed most of the city. The week turned in to weeks and then into months. Jonas postponed his graduation from law school because, “New Orleans simply needed more laborers than New Jersey needed lawyers.” After some serious soul-searching, Jonas returned to Michigan the next year to complete his last semester and soon after rejoined his father’s firm, this time as a lawyer.
During his first year as a trial attorney, Jonas met a woman and her children in his waiting room grieving over the loss of her husband. Her husband was riding his motorcycle and collided with a car. She had met with all of the biggest personal injury firms in New Jersey, but none would take the case because the police and insurance company had attributed fault of the accident to her husband. Jonas took the case because he thought it was odd that her husband, a seasoned motorcyclist, would have rear-ended a car in a 25 mph speed zone. Jonas went door-to-door in the neighborhood where the accident took place. He was able to obtain video surveillance of the accident which showed that the motorist caused the accident by attempting an illegal U-turn. Jonas also obtained a receipt from an industrial supply store for a part connecting the negligent motorist to a task instructed by his employer and linking his actions to the employer’s insurance. Mr. Seigel settled the case during trial for a seven-figure amount. More importantly, Jonas was able to explain to the family that their loved one was not negligent and not responsible for his own death.
Determined to be the best trial attorney he could be, Jonas went back to law school to study the art and science of trials and graduated with a Masters in Trial Advocacy from Temple University’s James E. Beasley School of Law – ranked as having the best trial advocacy program in the nation at the time – where he was later asked to return as an Adjunct Professor. |
