Weaponizing the Judicial System in pursuit of revenge.

Attorney Schoenhorn was recommended to me due to his highly successful experience in civil law and trial law. From my first meeting with him to the successful ruling in my favor he answered all of my questions and gave straight forward explanations of the laws involved so I could understand them as ...they applied to the case. This allowed me to present the truth and defend myself against a fraudulent suit which had no merit to be heard by the Superior Court of New London, CT in the first place. This being the only time in my life that my integrity and character have been besmirched, I’m very grateful that Attorney Schoenhorn was representing me against a culture of cover up and retaliation in the workplace and I can say without hesitation that he is the only one who could have done so. I highly recommend him to anyone who has to defend themselves against a malicious suit brought on to silence the lawful reporting of abuses of power.

Best Criminal Attorney

I hired Jon for a DUI matter and when I appeared in Court he had all of the paperwork filled out and was ready to go. He had me signed up for a driver education course and out of the Courthouse within the hour. My case was dismissed a year later. His advice and counsel was sound, reliable and hopefu...l. He is smart and knows exactly what he is doing.

Repeat client

An absolutely quintessential attorney for me since April 2000, when I first hired him. With or without a team he can litigate any case, whether it is civil or criminal. It is 2023 and I still have not met any other Attorney as skilled as Attorney Schoenhorn.

The Best!!!!!

$600 an hour sounds like a lot but he is the cheapest lawyer I ever hired. For one month of work he billed me for 1 hour because he is that good. He doesn’t waste time. He is so smart and so fast other lawyers are quickly destroyed if they even have the balls to stick around.
