Brandon worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for 16 years, first at the Board of Veterans’ Appeals, and then in the Office of General Counsel. He defended the government’s decisions before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and also at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit as co-counsel with the Department of Justice.
Brandon grew up in Southern California with no lawyers in his family (at the time—now both his wife and brother are practicing attorneys). After catching the law bug by way of his high school debate and mock trial teams, Brandon learned more about government and public policy as a political science major at UCLA. He went east for law school, graduating from Cornell in 2007. Then Mr. Jonas went to Washington—to work for VA, meet his wife, and start a family. Brandon and his wife are now raising their son and daughter in beautiful central New Jersey.
Brandon is proud of the work he has done for veterans and their families at Gang and Associates. A recent highlight has been starting a partnership with the Cornell Law School Veterans Law Practicum, which allows eager law students to gain experience in the unique practice of veterans law while giving clients extra enthusiastic advocacy at the Court of Appeals for Veterans claims at no cost to them.
