Highly recommend

I am compelled to share my experience as a client, which has led to my highest recommendation for Attorney Johnathan Meltz. Mr. Meltz stands out uniquely in his field. After witnessing the significant impact an attorney can have on a case, I hope my account will assist potential clients in deciding t...o hire Mr. Meltz. Mr. Meltz is highly respected across the legal community. Before I retained his services, I faced persistent harassment and direct contact, despite having other legal representation. It was evident that the opposing party aimed to manipulate me into accepting an entirely false narrative. Witnessing how easily this could happen was terrifying, especially as my former attorney seemed either inexperienced or too intimidated to defend my interests, despite being paid to do so. Realizing the potential for negative outcomes, I sought new counsel. After Mr. Meltz came highly recommended, I reached out to him. From our very first conversation, it was clear that I was in the hands of a true professional. Mr. Meltz provided undivided attention, exuded confidence in his ability to represent me, and his honesty and transparency were reassuring. He listened intently to my concerns, answered my questions, and provided insights that had not been previously considered. By the end of our initial call, I felt an immense weight lifted from my shoulders and I knew without a doubt that I had made the right choice in the best interest of myself and my future. Notably, Mr. Meltz's impact on my situation was profound. As I mentioned, he is held in high regard by all. Upon notifying the opposing parties that he was my new attorney, there was an immediate and dramatic shift in how I was treated and perceived. All attempts to coerce me into their narrative ceased, and subsequent communication from the other side stopped entirely, from that day forward I never heard from them again. Mr. Meltz is unlike your average attorney; he genuinely cares for his clients and maintains an open line of communication, which is crucial and comforting during such stressful and intimidating times. His integrity is unmatched. If you find yourself in need of legal representation that will be throughly devoted to advocate for you, I cannot recommend Mr. Meltz highly enough. I firmly believe that he is the reason my situation concluded in the best possible outcome.

Jonathan Meltz SAVED our family

Jonathan Meltz is the best attorney I've ever known. In the few instances where myself or my family have been in a stressful/frightening situation involving anything to do with the police, a criminal allegation or in need of expert, confidential, immediate, non-judgmental and excellent legal represen...tation for any matter - he always answered my call or immediately called me back ready to assist. Recently, my elderly parents were the near victims of a terrible scam. Someone called them pretending to be my brother. The person was crying and in tears. He claimed to have been in an accident and in trouble with the police. He said he would need to be bailed out. They were about to pay this person...then I called Jonathan Meltz. Jonathan immediately surmised the situation and was able to advise us in a way that revealed it was a scam, saving my parents $8000. A few years ago I was pulled over by the police on Valentines Day for a failed tail light. The police then proceeded to engage in behavior towards me that was offensive and illegal (due to my sexual orientation). It was late at night, I was with my boyfriend, i was scared, and I had never been in trouble with the law. They then attempted to cite me for numerous other infractions because I complained. I immediately called Jonathan. His incredible experience, legal knowledge, caring demeanor quickly led to the case being dropped and an admonition of the officers involved by the judge. I am a college professor, and I sometimes hear from students that are in need of emergency legal representation. Jonathan has helped dozens of these young people, and almost always their cases have been resolved successfully. I'm not getting paid to write this, he is seriously just the most down to earth, caring, effective, attorney you will ever find. He is also not one of those attorneys that only cares about money and charging people a fortune. I promise you, if you need the BEST legal assistance, take a deep breath and call Jonathan Meltz. He can relate to your problem and he will do everything to get you out of your jam. He is amazing.

Helping in Healthcare

I reached out to Johnathan Meltz regarding a domestic case that could have potentially caused me to lose my license as a health provider which involved a conflict between myself and another family member. John was very compassionate and understanding of my case. Also, he was very efficient and profe...ssional. Fortunately, we were able to resolve this issue with the courts via Zoom and the case was dismissed. I also utilized his service to expunge this charge on my record. It took some time as he explained but I am a very satisfied client. Thank you so much Mr. Johnathan Meltz. I will recommend you to all.

Stay away!

I hired Jonathan for a felony battery I was charged for. I paid him $5000 initially and he never filed anything on my behalf. He would barely returned the calls. He kept telling me I had no chance. I decided to hire another COMPETENT AND KNOWLEDGEABLE attorney (Michael Haber) and my case was finally ...dismissed. If you want to throw your window out the window and be ripped off call Jonathan, otherwise my sincere advice: Stay away!

An Attorney I can rely on

I have dealt with a few attorneys in the past and in comparison, Attorney Jonathan Meltz stands out as providing the best service. There was constant communication, providing status updates including responses from immediate actions that were taken. My urgency for representation was met with his kind...ness and ability to respond quickly. Thank you
