About Jon W.
Jon W. Brassel has spent decades practicing law after completing formal legal training in the mid-1970s. He studied business as an undergraduate and then turned to law, earning his J.D. from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 1975 after receiving a B.B.A. from Wake Forest University in 1971. Those credentials set the foundation for a career that has crossed trial and appellate work.
His early years in the profession followed law school and entry into private practice. Over time he amassed courtroom experience in both state and federal settings. He is admitted in Maryland and is authorized to appear in several federal forums, including the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland and the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, as well as the 4th and 6th U.S. Courts of Appeals.
Brassel’s work has involved litigation at multiple levels. He has handled matters in trial courts and argued cases on appeal. The mix of trial and appellate practice means he has navigated fact development, pretrial motion practice, and appellate briefing and argument. That combination has dictated a steady pace of courtroom work and written advocacy.
He is associated with Brassel Alexander, LLC. The firm affiliation reflects his continued engagement in private practice and in litigation matters brought in Maryland and federal courts. He has represented clients in cases that required appearances before district judges and, at times, panels of appellate judges.
Outside the courtroom, his academic background in business continues to inform how he approaches client matters. The business degree came before law school, and it shapes the way he evaluates claims, quantifies damages, and prepares economic evidence when needed. That practical orientation often appears in litigation strategy and in preparing cases for trial or settlement discussions.
Now in practice at Brassel Alexander, LLC, he continues to represent clients in Maryland and in federal courts. His current work involves litigation and appellate advocacy in state and federal forums, including appearances in the 4th and 6th Circuits.
