Jonathan Dichter

Born in Brooklyn, NY, I moved with my family to Ohio where I focused my studies on the American Judicial System. I graduated in December of 1999 with a political science degree from the University of Akron, in Akron, Ohio. While preparing for law school, I spent my evenings honing my speaking skills as a professional stand-up comedian. I was fortunate enough to work with such well known comics as Jeff Dunham, Lisa Lampinelli and Bobcat Goldthwaite. I moved to Seattle in May 2000, and began the summer session at Seattle University School of Law. I quickly found an aptitude for argument and a love of criminal law, so I focused my studies in that direction. I quickly became well-known throughout the law school by first becoming vice-president, then president, of the American Bar Association chapter on campus, and increasing membership to levels that consistently earned me regional awards for service to the Bar. I graduated in 2003 with honors.

In my spare time, I enjoy teaching at a local Sunday School, singing at local karaoke bars, running in half marathons, reading, playing poker with friends, spending time with my beautiful wife, Amber, our cat, Samwise, and our wonderful daughter, Elizabeth.
