Great Lawyer, Good Guy

I was permenantly disabled during routine knee surgery at a VA hospital. With my sisters help we contacted a local law firm and met Jonathan. I was immediatly impressed with Jonathan's knowledge, drive. and empathy. Through his hard work we were able to obtain a monitary settlement which made my s...uddenly difficult and tenuous situation more stable. I consider Jonathan not only a great lawyer but a good friend and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

dedication

I was truelly blessed many years ago to have acquired Mr. Petty as my attorney. Jonathan defies in my book the general consensus of lawyers today. He takes on a case that I believe he first and for most believes in, and takes full charge in doing the most and best for his client! As a matter of ...fact, I remember questioning his use of top experts when not so bright people knew better...I will never forget his reply "because I think you deserve only the very best"... and only the best I received! I was always informed, updated, and in charge of what was going on. Its been my experience with lawyers that they take cases and do their own thing! Its been a few years since my case settled, but Jonathan and his staff stay in contact and that is an impossible find! Its my opinion that he will always be successful because he works with passion and belief of what he represents, its nott just a job but his dedication to human beings and morals. Anyone that is fortunate enough to attain Jonathan Petty has been smiled upon for life!

Excellent Lawyer

To everyone who is looking for the best lawyer out there, in my opinion, Mr. Jonathan M. Petty is one of the best lawyers that I have worked with. I was previously looking for an expert lawyer to help me with a medical malpractice case when I came across Mr. Petty. When dealing with the case he was a...lways very professional. Mr. Petty always conducted himself, was well spoken, very knowledgeable and knew the law, responsive, respectful and courteous. I never had to worry about not hearing from Mr. Petty about my case. He kept me very informed and called on a regular basis. I never once worried about losing my case as well. I not only had a good experience with him as lawyer, but also gained a lifelong friend. He wanted to resolve the case in a reasonable amount of time. I would recommend Mr. Petty to anyone.

Relieved

With numerous years in Law Enforcement, and continuous experience with attorneys, I have not met many with the dedication for his clients' best interests as Petty. He carries with him a genuine concern for a client that has been wronged and fights to make things right. He puts in exhausting hours... of research in order to represent a client with a valid case. Petty helped me and my family through a very difficult time after a simple surgery became multiple surgeries and a life altering event.

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.
