This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Real Estate & Personal Attorney

Jonathan represented my wife and I in the sale of our home in Short Hills as well as the purchase of our current home. In both cases he was detail oriented, responsive, a calm and level-headed advisor and firmly represented our interests without alienating the other parties. We also used him for ou...r wills and were very satisfied.

Real Estate Attorney Review for Jonathan James

Jonathan successfully helped us close two real estate transactions in the last three years, once as a buyer's attorney for our house in Short Hills, and once as a seller's attorney for our condo in West New York. Jonathan is professional, knowledgeable, kept us informed of all developments, and prov...ided advice as needed. We gave him full power of attorney for the closing, and did not attend in person. All transactions went smoothly and closed on schedule.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
