Attorney Jonathan J. Lo
Jonathan and his brother, Kelvin, grew up as the children of a lawyer, Michael Lo, who was a reputable attorney serving Southern California since 1981. He has since passed in 2021 and left his legacy with Jonathan and Kelvin. Today, the Lo brothers remain committed to providing top-quality legal advice and exceptional client service.
Jonathan began working at his father’s law firm in 2006. After graduating from San Marino High School in 2004, Jonathan went to the University of California, San Diego, where he received his Bachelor of Arts in Economics in 2009. While working at his father’s law firm, Jonathan attended Southwestern Law School and passed the bar exam in 2015.
In 2017, Kelvin joined the firm, and the name of the firm changed to Lo & Lo LLP. Jonathan has been in the legal field for almost 20 years.
Jonathan is a well-rounded attorney who focuses on obtaining outstanding results and exceptional customer satisfaction. During the subprime mortgage crises in 2007-2010, Jonathan gained extensive experience in debtor and creditor legal issues arising in bankruptcy (personal and corporate bankruptcy in chapter 7, 11, and 13 cases).
Learning under the vast experience of his father, who started off as a general practitioner, Jonathan also learned in the areas of estate planning and probate, civil and business litigation, criminal law, corporate setup and disputes, and real estate transactions and disputes.
