Meet Jonathan M. Genish, Founder of Blackstone Law.
Frustrated by the impersonal nature of traditional law firms, Jonathan Genish founded Blackstone Law with a vision of a different kind of legal practice. Built on a foundation of care, compassion, and results, Blackstone is a firm that genuinely cares about its clients.
Jonathan is an award-winning trial attorney who has represented the full gamut of clients from A-list celebrities to Fortune 500 companies to small businesses and individuals over his productive career. Mr. Genish has successfully tried numerous multimillion-dollar matters and has represented clients in cases totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. Mr. Genish has argued matters in various State and Federal Courts across the country, as well as the California Court of Appeals. Over his many years of experience, Mr. Genish has developed a reputation for aggressive, relentless and creative advocacy.
Prior to founding Blackstone Law, Mr. Genish worked at different high-end boutique litigation firms in Los Angeles. Mr. Genish received his Juris Doctorate from Cardozo School of Law in New York City, and a Bachelor of Science with honors in both Real Estate and Finance from California State University of Northridge.
A dedicated family man with three children, Jonathan's empathy and compassion for his clients are evident in his approach to legal representation. Blackstone Law offers contingency-based fees, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. We listen attentively, understand your situation, and fight tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome.
