About Jonathon
Jonathon Luff is a Pennsylvania lawyer whose career moves show a steady shift from public defense to private practice leadership. His path includes time at a public defender’s office, a stint in a private firm, and, most recently, a leadership role at a firm bearing his name. He has remained tied to Philadelphia throughout much of his career.
He earned a Bachelor of Science in Sport Management from California University of Pennsylvania in 2009. He then went on to Drexel University School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2013. Those years in school set the stage for work in courts and client rooms rather than behind a desk alone.
Luff began his legal career in 2011 at the Defender Association of Philadelphia. There he worked as a lawyer handling cases for clients who could not afford private counsel. The work demanded quick thinking and courtroom presence. It also provided early exposure to trial practice and case preparation under pressure.
By 2017 he moved into private practice as an attorney with Lee Ciccarelli. The role introduced him to the mechanics of law firm practice and client development outside the public defender context. One year later, in 2018, records show he became managing partner at Luff Strenfel LLP. The managing partner title indicates a leadership role in firm operations and case direction, and it marked a clear turn toward running a practice.
Luff has been involved in the local bar community. He has a current membership in an unspecified professional group and has been a member of The Barristers Association of Philadelphia since 2018. Those connections place him in networks of Philadelphia lawyers and reflect ongoing engagement with the city’s legal community.
His work has been based in Philadelphia, and he maintains a home office as well. That dual setup suggests a practice that operates in the city while also accommodating remote or flexible work. His experience spans public defense and private firm work, and his firm-level role points to responsibilities beyond individual casework.
He is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and practices out of his Philadelphia office and home office, handling legal matters for clients in the state.
