Shark Attack!!! Incredible Trial Layer

Jonathan represents me in a lawsuit and he is hard working and ruthless, especially in taking depositions. He is smart and strategic and I recommend him in any case where you want to win and have a lot on the line. He is very knowledgeable with contracts.

I can’t recommend Jonathan McKloskey highly enough. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and thorough in everything he does. Jonathan takes the time to explain complex matters in a way that’s clear and easy to understand, and he always makes you feel confident that you’re in good hands. His ...attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly set him apart. Working with him has been a seamless and positive experience, and I would not hesitate to turn to him again in the future.

"Jonathan brings an added layer of skill set to the firm, with business formation and organization. Many businesses don't take the time at their inception to cover all of their legal bases, because, after all, that's not what most entrepreneurs are passionate about.
