Great job Jonathan!!

Consummate attorney. Really cares. Zealously protected my interests when I needed guidance through a very difficult time. Billing was fair. He was very obviously respected by judges and attorneys. I highly recommend Jonathan.

WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU

I met w Jonathan over a year ago in hope to overturn a horrendous devorce from 2007 from the result of a previous incompetent attorney. I was facing a huge financial obligation with my ex husband who continusiouly had me back in court for tedious reasons . After meeting with Jonathan I felt confiden...t he was knowledgeable and extremely competent to attack this situation..going through this emotional situation can be fustrating at times not to be able to reach him through a text or phone call (usually be cause is protecting someone else) he does absorb every text , email or emotional phone call and later processes in court when need be. His staff is extremely professional , competent, understanding and helpful. The one bad thing is that I was sad to say good bye when it was over. Jonathan helped me to start a new life both emotionally and financially... But I do still know I can call him even if I just need a friend.

Got me to the resolution I needed

My divorce seemed like it would never end. My prior attorney represented me for 2 years and nothing was accomplished. A friend of mine told me that Jonathan and his firm helped him settle his case quickly and get him a great deal so I hired him. I am very happy I did. I truly feel like my rights were... adequately protected. He took my case, broke it down to the bottom line and got me what I needed. I would recommend him to anyone who is going through divorce or through custody issues.

Extremely grateful and fortunate for their help

Jonathan and his partner Allison took me out of a very horrible situation. My prior attorney had done nothing for me. I am very grateful for their hard work, protection, and getting me out of an abusive relationship where my husband was also hiding my income. It was a very tenuous divorce. They helpe...d me. They supported me. They cared. I am very grateful. It was a very highly contested case in all respects including custody, but they gave me emotional protection and an amazing result. I am so thankful I found them.

He cared about my case and got me the results I needed

Jonathan handled a very complicated case of mine. While his approach at first may seem intimidating, he certainly got his way and owned the conversations with my husband's attorney. He was always looking out for my best interests and more importantly the interests of our children. I trust him with ev...erything and would recommend him in a heart beat.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have been an adversary to Jon on a number of cases. He cares strongly about his client's cause, fights hard for positive result and has my professional respect. He is a magnificent orator, exceptionally quick on his feet and exhibits an incisive legal mind. Rather work with him than against him."
