Immigration Client

In processing my green card,l was required to submit my arrival form at the port of entry.Mr.Jonathan came to my rescue in making the necessary communications to retrieve my lost entry through filing form.1-29.This helped me to proceed with the process and 6months later l got my greencard.Mr. Johnat...han is very prompt in communication, very informative, and very passionate about his work.You won't go wrong to have him take care of your business.

Thanks

"We tried to follow the rules and file an I-130, only for my husband to be picked up on a detainer at his interview. We were so devastated. Jonathan claimed he could reopen his prior deportation and we trusted him. He came through, we won the motion to reopen, and then he obtained bond at Ste...wart Immigration Court. Alex is now home with his family! He did a great job and we believe he will continue to do a great job. We will recommend him for professionalism, competency, and availability. He always responds to our concerns in a timely manner. 5 stars."

Removal of conditions on green card

Before hiring Jonathan I had no hope. My immigration case was denied and the possibility of being sent back to Kenya was real. I had applied to remove conditions on my green card alone which led to the application being denied. I had no choice but to get help. I am grateful and blessed to have met Jo...nathan, not only was he hardworking he was always available when I had questions. He worked tirelessly to get my appeal approved and i am currently waiting on my new green card. I am positive this wouldn’t be possible without his help. He is an amazing lawyer and will do what he can in his power to fight for you. Thanks again Mr.Stillo for everything.

Unemployment Compensation Denial Letter

Jonathan represented me during my appeal for unemployment compensation. My employer asked me to leave my other part time job to work full time at her salon. Long story short, she cut my hours to less than 20 per week after 2 months and refused to pay my actual earnings and tips. After 2 additional... months of this she fired me, and claimed I quit. Jonathan presented the case the reviewers who were very enlightened regarding the employer's fraudulent ways. The case is still pending, but this lady will no longer be able to do this to her employees! He provided a great message for a fair price and stood by his word that he would give it his best effort. I expected nothing to come of this, but I know he made awareness on the issue.

DUI (Driving Under the Influence)

Jon Stillo represented me for a 3rd DUI charge which carries very extreme penalties an mandatory jail time, Jon was very knowledgeable, professional, and he went above and beyond any expectation i had so much so the Judge told me i should thank him at my sentencing for how hard he fought for my case.... I highly recommend him if i could give him 10 stars i would. Great person and a great attorney!

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.
