"Jon is the most compassionate and passionate lawyer I've ever known in my 22 years of practice. The one word that comes to my mind is "relentless." If he wants to get something done, it gets done. He brings that mindset to all of his clients' cases. His passion is infectious. So many lawyers say they "work hard for you." It is a tired old cliche that now means nothing. Jon works for you like you are related to him by blood or marriage. That's the difference-- compassion and passion. When he says just worry about getting better, he means it. He really will take the shot that other lawyers won't, whether it is the punitive damages count in the Complaint that will draw POs or the appeal on a novel issue. Jon is the fighter that thousands of others claim to be."
