Firm Snapshot

Telecom Law Firm, the Cell Site Lawyer, is one of only a few law firms in the U.S. with both legal and radio frequency engineering expertise.  That differentiation is a huge benefit to our wireless site landlord clients.

Knowing the law and knowing the technology is what sets us apart from most law firms.

TLFPC was founded in 2006 by Jonathan Kramer, Esq., J.D., LL.M, FSCTE, CBT, Attorney and Counselor at Law. Back then the firm was called Kramer Telecom Law Firm, but we dropped the “Kramer” part as we grew.

Jonathan is admitted to practice law in California and New Mexico. His wireless siting experience dates back over 18 years and thousands of wireless siting issues, matters, and cases.   As a radio frequency engineer, tower siting expert, and later as an attorney, Jonathan has advised hundreds of governments about wireless siting matters, lease terms, radio frequency emissions safety, wireless regulations and ordinances, and more.
