About Jonathan
Jonathan Goldhirsch built his legal path through city classrooms and suburban courtrooms. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Hunter College, part of the City University of New York system. He then completed a Juris Doctor at Hofstra University in 2021, entering the bar shortly afterward to begin practice.
After law school, Goldhirsch joined Phillips & Associates, Lawyers at Law, PLLC. He has served at that firm since starting his professional career. The firm affiliation forms the backbone of his day-to-day work. There he handles a range of matters that reflect his training and the needs of clients in the tri-state area.
Goldhirsch holds active memberships in the bars of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He is also a member of the State Bar of New York and has held that membership since 2022. Those memberships allow him to represent clients across all three jurisdictions. He maintains the licensing and professional affiliations that permit multi-jurisdictional practice in the Northeast.
Colleagues describe Goldhirsch as steady and detail-oriented. He leans on his political science background when addressing issues that touch on public policy and administrative concerns. The Hofstra law curriculum provided him with training in litigation fundamentals and transactional work, and he applies those fundamentals in client matters at the firm.
On any given day at Phillips & Associates, Goldhirsch moves between research, drafting, and client consultations. He writes motions and briefs, prepares pleadings, and advises clients on procedural steps. He also participates in strategy sessions with more senior attorneys at the firm. Those sessions often shape the practical tactics the firm uses in court and at the negotiation table.
Goldhirsch has built a practice that reflects regional needs. He is familiar with state and local court procedures across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. That practical familiarity helps clients who face cross-border issues or who require filings in multiple jurisdictions. He combines careful preparation with attention to deadlines and court rules.
He continues to practice at Phillips & Associates, Lawyers at Law, PLLC, representing clients under his current bar memberships and handling matters that arise across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. His current practice focuses on serving clients in those jurisdictions.
