Jonathan W. Charnitski represents individuals and businesses with a focus on commercial litigation, business general counsel, and real estate and practices in state and federal courts.

While Jonathan boasts a broad range of legal experience, from structuring multi-million-dollar business acquisitions to representing a Texas county in litigation against the Texas Railroad Commission, he is by nature a litigator. An erstwhile associate of the Walters Firm from 2013-2015, Jonathan rejoined the firm as a partner in 2022 after spending seven years honing his civil litigation skills, primarily in real estate and construction defect litigation. Prior to entering private legal practice in Texas, Jonathan covered telecommunications and intellectual property as a journalist on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., worked to right the housing market in governance and compliance at Fannie Mae during the housing market recovery, and was involved as an attorney in large-scale litigation and government investigations. He has been practicing law in Austin since 2013.

Mr. Charnitski earned his J.D. in 2008 from Villanova School of Law outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he was President of the Intellectual Property Law Society and research assistant for Professor Penelope Pether. He holds a B.A. in Journalism from the University of Washington in Seattle, where he earned national recognition from the Society of Professional Journalists as an opinion writer and from the Associated College Press as Editor-in-Chief of The Daily.

In his spare time, Mr. Charnitski enjoys playing guitar, running, rooting for the Washington Huskies, and attempting to tame his back yard with his wife.
