Jonathan Hembree

Prior to joining Cunningham Swaim, Jonathan worked with the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, where he tried numerous cases to verdict. His experience in the City Attorney’s office taught him not only how to be quick on his feet, but also how to artfully navigate jury trials.

And Jonathan’s unique experience extends well beyond the courtroom. Not many lawyers can say that they drive a food bank truck in their spare time, but Jonathan’s desire to serve his community has literally put him behind the wheel for M.E.N.D., a charity organization based in Pacoima, California, that distributes food to thousands of needy families and homeless persons each month.
