This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

As a first time home buyer and terrified of the home buying process, I asked my realtor to put me in contact with his best attorney - he referred me to Jonathan. After getting an offer accepted, I sensed the weight of Jonathan's expertise during our first phone call and I knew he had my best inter...est in mind. Time was of the essence and Jonathan took time out of his Sunday evening to break down the sales contract paragraph by paragraph; he communicated legal language in an easy to understand format. I had to back out of my first contract due to failure to secure financing, but Jonathan ensured we were within reason to recover my earnest money. Second contract and 5 months later, Jonathan did an outstanding job at the closing table to ensure I understood every document I signed, and his expertise stood out when he communicated my best interest to the seller's attorney. All in all, I worked with Jonathan for approximately 6 months. Jonathan was extremely responsive and straightforward with everything we discussed. I knew he had my best interest in mind from day one - thank you, Jonathan!

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.
