The Host
Jonathan Forstall
Jonathan Forstall is a New Orleans attorney carrying on the legacy of his father, Chip Forstall, a name long synonymous with helping families across Louisiana. Together, they’ve built more than a law firm; they’ve built a family tradition of fighting for people and giving back to the community they love. That same spirit inspired Jonathan to launch From NOLA with the Forstalls, a podcast that blends law, laughter, and local stories from the heart of New Orleans. Whether he’s simplifying and explaining legal issues or shining a spotlight on local artists, entrepreneurs, and everyday heroes, Jonathan brings the same warmth, humor, and authenticity that define the Forstall name. For him, the mission is simple — help people, share stories, and keep the New Orleans spirit and culture alive.
