Since passing the Bar in 1998, he has taken many cases to jury trial and bench trial, although most have resolved short of trial. He has been lucky enough to learn from some great lawyers and thereby develop my skills. He learns omething new every single day in practicing law.  Often it is just a better way to argue a point.  Other times, it is a case that says exactly what he needs for a client with a similar problem.  He thoroughly enjoys helping people resolve problems, whether it be a civil or criminal matter.. Outside of his practice, he has three children and a family to support.  His son graduated from the University of Michigan (Ross School of Business) and his two daughters are finishing up college now - one is a senior at Syracuse (Newhouse School of Communications) and one is a junior at SMU in Dallas.  Greg's wife is a law school graduate as well.

Glen Jonas

Firm: Jonas & Driscoll LLP
1108 Sartori Avenue, Suite 320 , Torrance , California 90501
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense , Criminal Defense, Criminal Defense, Criminal Defense
My approach to criminal defense: I defend every client the way I would want to be defended if I found myself charged with crime. I fight with everything I have and put myself at risk if necessary to protect my client. Often times at trial...a judge will try and screw over the defendant with unfair rulings.  I don't stand for it. If a judge is acting with bias I call it out loud and clear. The only way our justice syste works  is when a defendant is given a fair trial with due process. When that happens the truth will find its way and the jury will reach the right decision.. I wake up early every morning and surf to start my day. It keeps me in shape and puts me in a good mood.  I am an avid outdoorsman. I love fishing and hunting.  I work hard and play hard and approach every day as though it might be my last.
