Jonathan S. Arndt, Esq. is a dedicated personal injury attorney who has devoted his career to helping individuals and families rebuild their lives after tragedy. He understands that when someone is injured because of another’s negligence, the consequences go far beyond physical pain and that they affect every part of life. That is why Jonathan is committed to guiding his clients through some of their most difficult moments and fighting to secure the justice and compensation they deserve.
Born and raised in Martinsburg, West Virginia, Jonathan earned his bachelor’s degree in finance from West Virginia University before graduating in the top 10 of his class at the Charleston School of Law, where he served on the prestigious Charleston Law Review. After law school, he clerked for the Honorable J.C. Nicholson Jr. on the South Carolina Circuit Court, gaining invaluable insight into how judges approach complex legal issues.
Jonathan began his career defending large corporations, hospitals, and insurance companies at a nationally recognized defense firm — experience that now gives him a powerful edge in representing injury victims. He knows exactly how the other side thinks, the tactics they use to minimize claims, and how to counter them effectively. Today, he uses that insider knowledge to fight back on behalf of those who have been hurt through no fault of their own.
Jonathan handles a wide range of personal injury cases, including motor vehicle accidents, tractor trailer accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home malpractice/abuse and neglect, premises liability, and other catastrophic and serious injury claims. Known for his relentless advocacy, thorough case preparation, and aggressive negotiation style, he has successfully taken on major insurers, corporations, and healthcare providers — leveling the playing field for his clients and helping them achieve meaningful results.
Beyond the courtroom, Jonathan is passionate about treating every client with compassion, respect, and personal attention. He takes the time to understand their story, explain their legal options, and guide them every step of the way. His mission is simple: to hold negligent parties accountable and help his clients move forward with dignity and financial security.
When he is not advocating for his clients, Jonathan can be found enjoying the outdoors and spending time with his family.
