Background:

As a child, Jonathan saw his life change when his father suffered a severe workplace injury. This caused financial hardship, which led to legal problems with his father’s employer. Unfortunately, things were too complicated for Jonathan’s parents to handle on their own; they needed legal help.

Later, Jonathan watched his mother trying to raise her kids by starting a flower nursery. However, without legal knowledge, things like forming a corporation or signing a lease agreement became extremely complicated and time-consuming; without legal assistance, opportunities vanished, but after receiving good legal services, the business was able to grow.
After finishing his Bachelor of Arts, Jonathan moved to South Korea to teach English. In South Korea, like in Canada, immigration applicants must complete many complicated forms, all of which must be done exactly according to the law. Having experienced this, Jonathan learned how important it is to have guidance from a competent legal professional who knows the rules.

Having experienced all this, Jonathan decided to become a lawyer, so he can use law to better the lives of immigrants, families, and entrepreneurs.

To do so, Jonathan attended the prestigious University of Exeter School of Law in United Kingdom – he first became a paralegal and later a licensed Lawyer in Canada. Throughout his legal career, Jonathan has represented countless clients with real estate matters, including many cases where home buyers tried backing out of the deal. With Jonathan’s assistance, he was able to secure the return of deposits for many would-be buyers or retain the deposits for would-be sellers.

Since joining Varity Law, Jonathan has helped many clients protect their new homes by performing extensive investigations on property deeds. This ensures that new homeowners are not harmed by the actions of dishonest sellers. Finally, Jonathan has helped many foreign entrepreneurs win their temporary and permanent status in Canada by skillfully completing their immigration applications and demonstrating for Canadian immigration officers how they will develop their businesses and contribute to the Canadian economy. By helping them get PR status, Jonathan ensured that business immigrants could remain in Canada to build their companies and stay with the family members, instead of having to return to their origin countries upon their status expiry.

Jon’s decade of experience in law ensured his competence when finding legal solutions for his clients. As well, his “going the extra mile” attitude makes client feel well cared for and deeply understood.
