I reached out to the Law Offices of Jonathan Marshall to help me with a criminal charge I received.

I paid $2500 to this law firm for my defense. Friends helped me with the cost, but they took the money and did nothing. On the day of court, they switched lawyers, and ABRAHAM N. BASCH was unprepared. I never suggested anyone go to this law firm. They'll take your money but won't help. Please avoid t...

"Jon is an excellent, top rate defense attorney. He is smart, creative, hard working, and most importantly honest and empathetic to all of his clients. Any individual would be well served to be represented by Jon and his firm."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Jon since I opened my practice in 2005. He has always been one of the most knowledgeable and innovative lawyers I know. I have seen him zealously come to court time and time again on the same case until he received the result he knew was right for his client. He is a tireless advocate and very respected by the defense bar, prosecutors and judges."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jonathan is dedicated to his clients, committed to his profession, and has superior knowledge on the law."
"I endorse Jonathan. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"John Marshall is highly knowledgeable in the subject matter of municipal court and criminal defense throughout the State of New Jersey. I endorse this lawyer."
"As a longtime criminal defense lawyer, I have known John Marshall and his firm for many years. They are extremely knowledgeable in the areas of criminal law and DWI defense. I highly recommend them."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known John for four years. During that time, I have been impressed with the breadth of his knowledge regarding legal and procedural issues in courts ranging from local municipal courts to the Superior Court of New Jersey. I likewise am impressed with his understanding of the practical 'nuts and bolts' of representing a client against whom serious criminal charges are pending. I would recommend John for all criminal matters."
"I used to work for John at his firm. We literally handled thousands of cases together and he is extremely knowledgeable in the areas of criminal defense and drunk driving (DWI). I highly recommend him."
"Jonathan is a true professional, and I'm lucky to be able to learn the profession under his wing. He has many years of trial experience, and I've yet to ask him a question about criminal law that he didn't have an answer for. I have a great deal of respect for him, both in the way he runs his practice, as well as the way he handles and treats his clients. By any standard, I feel that he truly is a 'Superb' lawyer."
