He has led the representation of clients in multiple high-profile matters, including numerous clients involved in the Mueller investigation, a former high-ranking federal official facing charges of sexual harassment, and a high-profile political figure formerly under investigation – but ultimately cleared – in connection with the investigation into Maria Butina’s alleged espionage. Jon recently secured a mistrial in a high-profile federal trial based on a Brady violation for William Wilson, a former government contractor charged with fraud, bribery and false statements. Jon is co-counsel on the 2020 Legal 500 submission of a matter related to a former general counsel of a financial services company who was the subject of a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigation.

He lectures regularly on law enforcement sting operations to Federal Defender Offices across the country and members of the Criminal Justice Act Panels. He is a member of the Board of Directors for Rising for Justice (formerly Law Students in Court (LSIC), a non-profit corporation that assists over 6,000 litigants in the D.C. Courts every year. He also serves on the Judge Thomas Flannery Lecture Committee. Jon previously served as a Screening Committee Member on Clemency Project 2014, reviewing and making recommendations for executive clemency in the wake of significant changes in federal sentencing law.
