Deep Industry Experience
Samish Hill Legal’s principal attorney, Jonathan W. Charnitski, has represented towing companies that perform heavy-duty towing and recovery on behalf of counties and municipalities in Washington and Texas since 2022. In addition to his track record in the courtroom, his work in the industry extends beyond litigation and collections. He has advised industry organizations on legislative and regulatory matters, presented at towing industry shows across the country, contributed to discussions on state-level transportation and towing laws, and worked closely with operators who perform some of the most demanding work on America's roadways, including heavy-duty recovery, HAZMAT response, environmental remediation, and emergency incident management.
This industry knowledge allows him to provide practical, informed counsel grounded in a clear understanding of how towing and recovery businesses actually operate.
