Posted by Denis | June 7, 2018 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Lawsuit settlement in NC

We selected Jonathan and his group after review of various alternatives and discussion with other attorneys in NC. Our choosing him to represent us was a simple decision to make. The services his staff and Jonathan (personally) provided us was second to none. As unpleasant as the entire legal proc...ess of filing a lawsuit is / can be; working with Jonathan was a smooth and structured process. He took the time to explain everything step by step, proved to always be accessible by phone or emails, proposed alternatives and options when required, and supported us with his professional expertise and guidance along the entire process. Jonathan is driven to succeed and his logical argumentation efficient, as demonstrated by the fact we won our case against a quite conflictive opponent. Without a doubt; highly recommendable and trustworthy.
