About Jonathan A.
Jonathan A. Knoll took a conventional path into the law. He earned a B.A. from Valparaiso University in 2007 and completed his J.D. at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 2010. Those years gave him a grounding in legal doctrine and the procedural rules that govern state and federal courts in Indiana.
After law school, Knoll entered private practice. He is listed with Cohen & Malad, LLP. Over time he has expanded the jurisdictions in which he is authorized to appear. He is admitted to practice in Indiana and in the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana. That combination allows him to take cases at the trial level in state courts and in federal court where federal questions or diversity jurisdiction applies.
Colleagues describe him as steady and practical. He approaches matters with a straightforward style. He tends to break complex issues into their component parts. That habit helps when drafting briefs or preparing witnesses for court. He is also involved in matters that require familiarity with federal procedures because of his district court admissions.
Outside the office, Knoll is active in professional and community groups. He serves on the board of St. John Lutheran Church in Indianapolis. He holds memberships in the Indiana State Bar Association and the Indianapolis Bar Association. Those connections keep him engaged with changes in state practice and procedures and offer regular opportunities for continuing legal education and local professional dialogue.
His work at the firm involves representing clients in matters that arise in state and federal forums. He combines trial-court experience in Indiana with the procedural demands of federal litigation. He is comfortable in courtrooms and in client meetings, and he spends substantial time preparing filings and developing legal strategy.
Knoll maintains a steady presence in Indiana’s legal community. He continues to handle litigation and court matters in state courts and in the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana and remains active in bar and civic organizations in Indianapolis.
