Deceptive Charging Practices

He deliberately would not give me a straight answer until 2 minutes past the 30 minutes time period. Going over the 30 minute time period allowed him to charge $600 instead of $400. His evasiveness was so obvious I thought he was having the onset of dementia. He could have answered my questions much ...earlier. I don’t trust someone who engages in these practices. Surely, if hired he would have taken financial advantage for many more dollars.

Jon Alper - Florida's and America' best Asset Protection Attorney

I am a professional risk and opportunity management consultant. Our company in March 2015 completed probably the largest Predictive Analytic study of Asset Protection ever completed. We used a relatively new concept called ediscovery using the most advanced data mining techniques available to analy...sis 1948 medical malpractice lawsuit court case files in Florida's 21 largest population judicial court districts over a ten year period (2005-2014). at a cost of nearly $600,000. Expecting to find the best methods of protecting physicians in medical malpractice lawsuits. As we worked long complex decision trees, the results keep pointing not one or a few approaches , but each time a new decision tree was followed in any of the jurisdictions in or near Orlando was explored the best results for defendant (the physician being sued) was not any of the expected methods normally used, but pointed the work products of Jonathan Alper, the evidence was overwhelming it was the attorney that was the conditioning factor in the most possible positive outcomes for the client. We congratulate Jon not only for his superior representation of clients, but that he publishes his approach on the Internet to share with his fellow professionals

successful bankruptcy

Used Mr. Alper for a chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. The case was filed and closed with no problems and all debts discharged. Another attorney told me that Alper is one of the best bankruptcy attorneys in the Orlando area.
