A PROFESSIONAL GEM GENUINELY CONCERNED WITH HELPING PEOPLE

I initially submitted an inquiry through Avvo's Attorney Open Response Messaging Platform" regarding my Township Construction Officer's attempts to prevent my husband and I from acquiring our properties Construction Documents/Blueprints and Mr. Jurista expeditiously responded with solid recommendati...ons in the form of very specific instructions. When my husband and I had additional questions, not previously noted and to further vet Jay in the event we wished to hire him, we contacted Jay. Jay took my call while enroute to a court case and promised to call me back the same day within a specific time frame. Not only was Jay a man of his word, but he was more than generous with his time, had a commanding knowledge on the subject matter, and provided us with decisive advise and actions to take - which in the end served us well. Jay with your assistance my husband and I received our Construction Documents within 5 days upon our township receiving the OPRA Request under "Common Law" as you advised. Jay thank you so much!!!!!! Should the need ever arise in the near future to professionally hire you, consider us new clients. We were quite impressed with how you handled what we thought would be a long drawn out ordeal with our township's Construction Officer, given the strained history with him. Thank you again and be well!

  • 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.
