About Jonathan C
Jonathan C Gonzales earned his law degree from the University of Notre Dame in 2001 and followed that with an MBA in Business — Finance and Investments from the same university in 2003. He completed his undergraduate studies in economics at Pomona College through the Claremont Consortium of Colleges in 1997. The combination of law and graduate business study frames much of his early legal work.
Gonzales began his post-law school practice in securities litigation. In 2005 he joined Holland & Knight LLP as an associate in that practice area. Two years later he moved to Sacher, Zelman, Hartman, Paul, Beiley, Hartman & Rolnick, continuing to handle securities litigation matters. Those years involved courtroom preparation, discovery, and regulatory pleadings on behalf of corporate and individual clients.
In 2009 he changed practice areas and became a partner at the Immigration Law Offices of Jeffrey C Gonzales. That move marked a clear professional turn from disputes centered on securities to advocacy and counseling in immigration law. His role as partner includes client interviews, case strategy, and filings in immigration proceedings. The record shows work both in litigation-style settings and in administrative representation before government agencies.
Gonzales is licensed to practice in Florida and Oregon. That dual jurisdiction standing has allowed him to represent clients across different state systems and to coordinate matters that touch multiple regions. His earlier securities experience and his MBA inform how he assesses cases that involve financial questions or complex documentation requirements.
Colleagues describe him as someone who bridges technical legal tasks and practical client needs. He has handled detailed motions and procedural work as well as client-facing responsibilities such as intake and planning. The arc of his career — from an economics degree to business graduate studies, then to securities litigation, and later to immigration partnership — gives him a breadth of professional perspective.
As of 2026 he practices at the Immigration Law Offices of Jeffrey C Gonzales, where his work centers on immigration representation and related legal services.
