      Review Jonathan Voelker

      Expert knowledge, transparent, caring

      5.0 stars

      Posted by

      I consulted Jonathan regarding a matter pertaining to my child’s father. Mr. Voelker surpassed my expectations on many levels. In my personal experience most attorneys are just looking to collect a fee and keep clients coming back. In an attorney client relationship, I find myself, probably like most people out there in those sensitive situations, very vulnerable on many levels, but mostly to what I do not know. Attorney’s integrity, skills, honesty and transparency are very important to me and that’s how I came to know Jonathan. I found him very experienced and committed. He took the time to listen to me and he listened with his 3rd ear. He honored my opinion and the circumstances of my situation. He looked for the best solutions and opportunities to my problem. He struck me as someone who is there to help people who are hurting and resolve those conflicts in an authentic way. That was my experience with Jonathan. I would highly recommend Jonathan and would not hesitate to hire him if the need arises again.

      I hired Jay to do some work for me and i found his expertise and responsiveness to be second to none. I have had poor experiences in the past and found Jay to be a pleasure to work with and he provide me with sound legal counsel. I know that he was looking out for my best interest and that gave me a lot of confidence in his recommendations.

      Mr. Voelker has been an invaluable resource for me both personally and professionally. His knowledge of the law in and outside of his field of expertise are second to none. Along with that knowledge he has demonstrated a passion for helping and being available in times of need. I highly recommend his services to those seeking a fair and well respected attorney in PA.

      Business/Personal Prenup - made a tough thing bearable and very reasonable.

      Very satisfied with the whole experience and i will continue to use Jonathan in the future. We have a decent size family business and i had to do a prenup to isolate our business ownership from my personal assets. This is not a fun conversation to have and jonathan made it short and concise. Also - we had another referral to a family attorney in the office of our corporate attorney and they wouldn't discuss anything in the consultation and wanted 3 times what Jonathan charged us for just the retainer.
