Fair, strong lawyer

Jonathan instantly understood the complexities and the urgency in assuring not only that my case was handled swiftly but also that my son and I were protected from my ex. He allowed me to be a part of the process from the beginning and was able to walk me through each step in order for me to make an ...informed decision. He maintained his calm and confident demeanor and this allowed me to keep as much emotion out of the decisions as I was able in order to see why the process went the way it did.

Waste of money

I hired the Trotto law firm for my divorce. Jonathans word was "We will hit him hard, hit him fast. He wont know what hit him". Well that "fast took almost 2 years and over $15,000.00. Jonathan said I have a simple divorce and it will be no more than $5000.00. I was not part of my divorce. Johnath...an did not ask me how I felt about certian issues. Just keep delaying for more money. I finally had to contact the supreme court myself!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I've worked with Jonathan on both litigated and collaborative matters. He is attentive to the goals of his clients and advocates for them upon the facts and law. We do not always see eye-to-eye (not surprising as we're both attorneys working for our clients), but Jonathan can work through those differences as professionals without abandoning his client's interests."

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.
