Jonathan Rhayader Oates

I can't say enough good things about Jonathan Oates! He is very knowledgeable and friendly. He did a great job. He was on top of everything and he was very informative about the process! He really worked hard on my criminal case and helped me win and he is helping me with my civil case as well. I hig...hly recommend Jonathan and his firm.

Jon Oats is our hero! We had a speeding ticket in Virginia (102 mph). Our neighbor recommended Jon and he returned our call the same day we contacted him. He met with us in person the next day. He walked us through our options and provided us with written guidance to prepare for our court appearance.... We had no idea that excessive speed in VA could end up with jail time. His knowledge of the judges was very helpful in deciding how to move forward. After several court appearances, he was masterful in working out an agreement with the prosecutor. This agreement lowered the speed, wiped out the restriction of driving in VA and cleared the charge. We consider ourselves fortunate to have been represented by Jon Oats.

Jon Oates was an amazing attorney to have. He was knowledgable and helpful through the whole process. He made great suggestions on how to improve the results of the case and answered all of my questions. I am so glad that he was able to represent me. I ended up with the best possible results and it i...s thanks to him.

i was wrongly accused of some very serious controlled dangerous substance offenses (which have very extensive prison sentences if convicted), first in district court and then again in circuit court. I hired Mr. Jonathan Oates to represent me as a criminal defense attorney. From day one he was very st...raight forward and honest with me and made sure i knew the ins and outs of my case as well as making me aware of exactly what i would be dealing with as far as court, preparation and execution of the facts that would ultimately clear my name. We reviewed my case over and over and over lol. Whenever i came to the office to go over the case, he was very hospitable and always ready to work as if his own life was on the line. Jonathan is a very diligent man, and wont take a minute off until bases have been covered and progress has been made with your case. He thoroughly investigated every angle, every detail, every word in my case. Nothing was left up to faith, or chance but rather sheer will, hardwork and preparation, and effectiveness. Jonathan was able to get my case dismissed in district court, one year later the charges were brought back up as i was indicted in circuit court . I then rehired him immediately and we went right back into the case. He never doubted me or made me feel like we weren't ready. The process was tiring and required a great deal of execution. Whenever i drug my feet he was there pushing me forward. My favorite quote of Jonathan is "WE CANT AFFORD TO LET THAT STOP US". Jonathan was able to get my case dismissed by the circuit court judge, due to lack evidence as well as a lead detective in the case not following the orders given to him by the judge. Him and i still talk and check on each other from time to time, he makes sure my family is good and that im in good spirits. I thank God for this man, and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a lawyer who will represent them as if they were closely related or great friends. Jonathan Oates is a fantastic lawyer, he brings to the table such characteristics as wit, endurance, intelligence, hope, execution, perseverance, experience, and the will to win the case for you and your family. I am very happy with my decision with him as a lawyer as well as the outcome of my case and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.
