A gem

Jonathan is an absolute gem and everything you require in an attorney. Not only is he an astute and empathetic listener, but also an assertive advocate of your best interests. His wise counsel has helped guide me through several challenging occasions. He's fair, deeply just and honest, and will go ab...ove and beyond to remedy your situation. I wholeheartedly recommend him- just call.

Compassion, Empathy, and action

Jonathan came through on an emergency basis with generosity and kindness, helping women who were in danger and distress. On his own volition, he took care of them and made certain they were safe. If you’re looking for an attorney with a heart and soul, someone who connects and cares, and goes to grea...t lengths for his clients, I cannot recommend anyone better than Jonathan Stanwood.

Business Owner

Jonathan Stanwood is an excellent attorney who has helped me with legal matters on a number of occasions this last decade. He has been practicing law for over two decades and his experience shows when talking to him about legal matters. Not only is he well versed in the law, but he also has a strong ...backbone made of integrity and honesty. I can always count on him to make sound recommendations or steer me in the right direction while always exercising good judgement. Stanwood is definitely worth reaching out to when legal advice or services are needed.

Exceptional

I received prompt attention and excellent quality service. Communication and quality of actions taken were timely and promptly in which, I was a definite relief to have them help me with my personal legal matter.

Above and Beyond

The matter discussed with Jonathan was within the jurisdiction of another State. He was aware of this before hand and informed me of that discrepancy. Yet in still, he took time out of his busy schedule (this is at 8PM I must add) to cover a plethora of options that I could consider for addressing my... issue. Felt comfortable discussing my case with him as he presented a wealth of information and pointed me in right direction. Class act!
