I met Jordon as an adversary where he quickly earned my respect as an intelligent attorney committed to his client and fundamental fairness. Since then, I have routinely seen him in court; skillfully advocating well reasoned, well written and ultimately deservedly achieved excellent results for his clients. I strongly endorse Jordon accordingly.

I endorse this lawyer because Jordan is a very intelligent attorney. I've known him for a decade since he worked in the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office handling their juvenile delinquencies division. Since Jordan went out on his own in about 2008 or so, many attorneys I know have gone to him for help with their legal research and writing work including myself. He is knowledgeable and experienced and his clients do well in retaining his services.
Donald Katz, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 7, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse Jordan. He has considerable experience in the criminal law area, both in his current practice and in connection with his prior position.
