Outstanding job with our estate planning!

Jonathan did a great job in revamping and updating all of our estate documents. He was thorough, professional and most courteous in all of our dealings; on the phone and in person! He is outstanding in his ability to present everything in very understandable lay terms! We look forward to continu...ing to work with him in the years ahead, and we have already secured his services for other family members.

Thorough and professional

Jonathan listened to our concerns about moving to Florida and suggested putting our new house in a revocable living trust to avoid probate. He also prepared our wills and various power of attorneys to our satisfaction in a timely fashion.

Highly recommend

My wife and I found Jonathan to be attentive to our specific needs and was careful to explain things in detail if needed. He is honest, courteous and trustworthy and understands the important details of trusts/wills etc. We both highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

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.
