Great defense attorney

I hired Jon Majeske to represent me in a civil matter in Cherokee county and found that his knowledge and services were exceptional. His representation far exceeded my expectation, and and his tenacious attitude kept the court system in check. He stayed on top of the D/A's office, and made this a ver...y easy win. He was very comfortable in front of the judge, and was very articulate in his argument before the court. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of good solid representation.

Brilliant & Expectional Trial Attorney and Extremely Professional.

Mr. Majeske is exceptional lawyer. He has reputation as an Great Trial attorney, but seeing it first hand, and his knowledge and expertise does not do him justice. He is the Best Trial attorney I have ever witnessed. He showed how a police officer was aggressive and intimidating to me because I kn...ew my rights. Mr. Majeske got me acquitted on all charges from DUI, and other false charges. I am so grateful for him and the Yeargan, Barber, & Kert Firm for all their help. I will ALWAYS recommend their services to anyone. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again for everything. Trust me, there are the lawyers you need/want to hire.

Brilliant, Creative, Caring

Jonathon took a case for me at the last minute to plea a deal for a friend of mine. He dove into the details, worked with the probation officer and negotiated a deal, presented it successfully before the judge, and got the remaining time reduced from 5 years down to 3 months. Did he pull any strings?... No. He logically laid out his argument, showed that the person that was incarcerated had been a model inmate, and proved his point. Without Jonathon, an inmate would have been incarcerated needlessly for an additional nearly 5 years. Jonathon gives people back their freedom, and Jonathon gives people their life back in order to become productive citizens again. Thanks Jonathon for CARING, something that is missing in your profession.

"Very few lawyers have the record of accomplishments Jon will almost certainly never mention to you. He is just that kind of guy. Not everyone likes Jon, as he wins too much not to have upset a few folks over time. That is why I PERSONALLY CO-COUNSEL CASES WITH HIM on a regular basis. I am a real jerk with who I choose to work with, in my office, with my clients, and Jon is the best of the best. He earnes my highest endorsement"

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I met Jonathon when I was a prosecuting attorney. He and I represented opposing interests on numerous occasions. As someone who has faced Jonathon in court, I can tell you he's an excellent attorney. I say this for several reasons. He has an extraordinary knowledge of the law, the well earned respect of his colleagues, a commanding presence in court, and excellent writing skills, just to name a few. But, above all else, Jonathon has compassion. You will never meet a defense attorney who cares more for his clients. His unmitigated compassion drives him to work harder, smarter, and longer than other attorneys ever would. For those reasons, he achieves excellent results every day. I wholeheartedly endorse Jonathon Majeske."

"John is a go to guy, he's always one of the first attorneys you call if you have a question. He's brilliant, hard working, has attention to detail, and truly loves his work. We argued a case before the Supreme Court together and cannot imagine working with anyone else on this matter. I highly endorse Jon, he's a top notch attorney, you will be well represented with Jon in your corner!"

"In addition to having an encyclopedic knowledge of criminal law, Jon Majeske is a top-notch trial lawyer -- a combination that is not often seen. He is on an impressive win streak, with 8 consecutive acquittals in his recent DUI trials. Those kind of results end up paying off for all of his clients, as they result in great plea offers from prosecutors who don't want to face him in court. I endorse this attorney."
