About Jonathan David
Jonathan David Leventhal is a California-licensed attorney who earned his J.D. from the University of West Los Angeles. He returned to the campus that trained him in a different role years later, joining the law school's faculty as an adjunct professor of law. The combination of classroom and courtroom has shaped the arc of his professional life.
Leventhal built his practice through The Leventhal Law Group, P.C., where he serves as a lawyer. He has handled matters at the firm level and managed the day-to-day legal work that a boutique practice requires. His practice is based in California, and he is admitted to practice law in that state.
Parallel to his work at the firm, Leventhal has maintained an academic presence. As an adjunct professor at the University of West Los Angeles he has taught law students and supervised practical legal instruction. Students say the practical orientation of his classes reflects the realities of client work. He has drawn on that experience in explaining courtroom procedure, ethics and case preparation to emerging lawyers.
Outside the classroom and the office, Leventhal participates in professional associations that connect lawyers across the region. He holds membership in the American Bar Association, the Los Angeles County Bar Association and the San Fernando Valley Bar Association. Those memberships have kept him engaged with continuing legal education and local bar activities.
Colleagues describe Leventhal as steady in the management of client matters and thorough in preparation. He has overseen case intake, crafted pleadings and advised clients on procedural steps. His work at a small firm has required attention to both legal detail and the administrative side of running a practice. That breadth of responsibility informs how he divides his time between client work and teaching.
As an educator and practitioner, Leventhal bridges two worlds: the academic study of law and its application in real disputes. He balances classroom schedules with firm responsibilities and regularly mentors younger attorneys and law students who clerk or intern with his office. He also engages in professional programming through bar association activities that support continuing education.
He currently practices at The Leventhal Law Group, P.C., representing clients in matters brought in California courts and providing legal counsel from his firm base.
