About Jonathan

As a founding partner of El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers, Jonathan Ritter brings both compassion and precision to his work representing injury victims across Southern California. His legal journey began at two prestigious law firms, where he honed his skills and developed a fierce commitment to advocating for victims of negligence. Jonathan’s passion for the law took root early. 'My father was an attorney. In reality, the law was in our blood. The seed was planted for me to be a lawyer very early in my life.' Driven and focused from a young age, Jonathan started law school at 20 and passed the California Bar Exam at just 23. He knew exactly what he wanted-to fight for people who’ve had their lives turned upside down by an accident. In 2011, he founded Ritter Law, which quickly gained recognition for its trial successes. By 2016, at the age of 35, he was admitted to the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA)-a distinction held by a small number of attorneys with substantial trial experience-and became an Associate by 2020. Jonathan focuses on complex litigation, particularly cases involving brain and spinal injuries, often against trucking companies and gig economy platforms. He’s known for his meticulous approach and ability to navigate even the most challenging cases.
