Best of the best

Charles Jonas represented me in a criminal case and landed me an absolute ideal result that I was not expecting to receive with the charges I was facing. Everything was handled by him, leaving me with minimal stress during the whole thing. Unlike other lawyers I have worked with, he has a particular ...way of making the client feel at ease during the very worrying situation that going through the legal system tends to be. He is very knowledgeable and has a consistent positive attitude. His work is highly impressive. I strongly recommend hiring Chuck Jonas as representation!

Helped with Divorce/custody

Charles helped with some custody meetings. It helped having someone that was confident and knowledge in the field. He was polite towards the other lawyer but got what needed done in a professional manner.

Amazing lawyer

Charles is an amazing lawyer! He represented me in a traffic case and was professional, honest, well spoken, and personable. He knew the court system and personnel in the court which made everyone more comfortable. Charles was well respected by everyone we encountered and I could tell it was due to h...is authentic nature with everyone. I highly recommend Charles and am fully confident in making that recommendation.

Excellent

Charles represented me in a traffic case. He is knowledgable, professional and a tenacious advocate. Highly recommend.

Client

Charles represented me throughout a criminal case and the subsequent process of going through ARD and having my record expunged. Throughout the entire process he was always open and honest with me about what I should expect and how the case was going. I fully recommend.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
