Jonathan C. Beech joined the firm as an associate in 2008. A native of Monroeville, Pennsylvania, he is a 1994 graduate of John Carroll University in Cleveland and a 1998 graduate of Cleveland Marshall College of Law at Cleveland State University.  Jon is a member of the bar in all Pennsylvania state courts and the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

Before joining the firm, Jon was a Senior Claims Specialist with Cincinnati Insurance Company, where he was employed since 1998. He was a multi-line claims professional handling personal and commercial property, casualty, auto, and workers’ compensation claims. He is proficient in analyzing, interpreting, and applying coverage under both personal and commercial policies. Jon’s work with Cincinnati enabled him to achieve a high level of proficiency in complex coverage issues. He has extensive experience managing significant bodily injury and property claims, many of which had multi-million dollar exposures.

Since joining the firm, Jon has successfully defended workers' compensation claim petitions and prevailed on termination, suspension, and modification petitions in some of the Commonwealth's toughest jurisdictions.  These efforts have saved clients hundreds of thousands of dollars in claims payments and also returned hundreds of thousands of dollars to clients through Supersedeas Fund reimbursement.  Jon has also defended clients in civil courts throughout the Commonwealth for auto tort and general liability litigation.

Jon's decade of experience as a multi-line claims professional makes him uniquely adept at pursuing subrogation and recovery claims for clients.  He is able to quickly and efficiently identify the strengths of the claim and maximize the client's recovery.
