About Jonathan
Jonathan Cerrito took a nontraditional route into law. He studied English at Fordham University, earning a B.A. that sharpened his writing and critical-reading skills. He later completed an LL.M. in Taxation at Quinnipiac College. That advanced tax study sits at the center of his professional identity.
After completing his graduate work in taxation, Cerrito entered practice in New York. He is admitted to the New York bar and has spent his career working on matters that require close attention to statutes, regulations and technical analysis. Colleagues describe him as concise in writing and careful in review. His English background informs how he organizes complex arguments and presents dense material in clear prose.
Cerrito’s training places tax law at the core of his work. He handles federal and state tax matters, drawing on the LL.M. coursework that covers tax procedure, statutory interpretation and transactional tax issues. He regularly prepares written analyses for decision-makers and negotiates with opposing counsel and tax authorities. He also advises on compliance issues and planning opportunities when clients seek to reduce exposure to penalties or clarify reporting obligations.
Throughout his career he has balanced advisory work with contested matters. He prepares administrative submissions and represents clients in informal dispute resolution. His practice tends to involve close collaboration with accountants and other advisors. He is known for methodical case preparation and for building factual records that support legal positions.
Cerrito combines technical tax training and a strong background in written analysis in his day-to-day practice. He maintains an active practice in New York, where he continues to work on tax planning, compliance and dispute resolution matters.
