About Jon Andrew Jacobson
Jon is a native Floridian. He was born in Miami, raised in Hollywood, and went to high school in Ft. Lauderdale. After leaving the state for school and then to work, Jon returned to Florida in 1998. He currently lives and works in West Palm Beach. When he is not vigorously representing clients, Jon can be found in the kitchen trying out a new recipe (most recently it was Bo Ssam, which is basically a Korean version of carnitas); heading to the gym (unfortunately, the price of the Bo Ssam is many hours on the elliptical machine); working to improve his poker game (he recently attended a two-day advanced poker academy); or playing with his dog, Lexi (a very opinionated Chihuahua). Jon is also an experienced litigator, having worked on over one thousand securities cases and regulatory investigations. He has spent his entire legal career practicing securities litigation and has successfully represented some of the most demanding clients in multi-million-dollar disputes throughout Florida and United States. Prior to founding Jacobson Law P.A., Jon was a shareholder at Greenberg Traurig, P.A., a 1,700+ attorney, 35+ office, international law firm, where he focused his practice on securities litigation.
