Hands down, the best lawyer EVER!!!!!

"Although I only charge $1500, I treat all my cases like a $10,000 case." Mr. Jonathan Kaye said these words to me the day we met at the courthouse in 2017. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical as all other DWI attorneys in my area charged a minimum of $5,000 retainer fee. As a first time o...ffender, one could only imagine the fear I was experiencing. During my arrest, I blew high enough to be convicted of a felony. However, that was not the case thanks to Mr. Kaye. As a former ADA, he knew exactly what to do and what to say to get my charges reduced to almost nothing. I mean, I was facing up to a year in prison. Working his magic, he was able to get the DA to reduce my charges to a misdemeanor. "Every call is answered by a lawyer." This is also so true of Jonathan Kaye (he will actually give you his cell phone number). I've called Mr. Kaye during the past one and a half years for different reasons. Each time I called, he picked up. And if he didn't pick up, he'd return my call before the end of the day. He responds to texts as well. I mean, who does that?! I will tell you who: Jonathan Kaye. I had an Interlock Device installed in my vehicle as part of my reduced charges. There were malfunctions with the device (it was eventually replaced by a functional device). I remember calling him crying because I kept getting violations. Mr. Kaye calmed me down and assured me that everything was going to be okay. Even after my case was over, Mr. Kaye still made himself available to me (at no extra charge) as I still had questions about the Interlock Device. He was able to speak with the DA and remarkably somehow convinced the DA not to proceed with additional charges. Thanks to Mr. Kaye, I am now eligible to have my IDD removed at the anniversary date of installation. I don't have to face the judge for a new charge and I do not have to have the device removed at a later date due to the violations reported to the Monitoring Agency. I will be forever grateful for everything Mr. Kaye has done for me. If you want someone that will be with you every step of the way (and I mean EVERY step of the way) that will not treat you like a criminal, that listens, and that will ALWAYS make himself available to you, look no further. I promise you he will not disappoint.

Excellent lawyer

Jonathan Kaye is an excellent lawyer. I retained him for a DWI matter. He was able to get the case dismissed. This occurred in the early 1990's. But I am grateful not to have a criminal conviction on my record. When it comes to DWI or DUI arrest, he is truly the best.

Very smart lawyer

Best lawyer, does more than he says he will. Gets the job done without worrying you and knows what he's doing. Former prosecutor for very long time.. I've hired him twice and each time he got me off the hook from some serious charges. He's Great.. Funny guy too!

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.
