Amazing, Confident, Knowledgeable, Tactful, Compassionate

Jonathan helped me with a child support modification and custody case. For the last 10 years I have struggled to raise my children due to the minimal child support awarded at my divorce ( since my former husband concealed his income). I wish I would have met Jonathan and Cris 10 years ago. I know... they would have done everything possible to reveal my ex's true income and my children would have had everything they needed growing up. I am happy that our paths crossed last year because for the next 5 years I will have the financial freedom and peace of mind needed to place my boys on a path towards success. For this, I will be forever grateful.

Positive Results & Guidance in Time of Chaos, No Non-Sense Attorney

I have hired Jonathan for my divorce and again after 11 years for a supplemental of the divorce agreement child/ time sharing related issues between myself and my very unreasonable ex-wife. He was/has always been very responsive to my questions, assertive and with good genuine advices with my best i...nterest and the wellbeing of my daughter in mind. Jonathan represented me and helped me through some of the most painful time of my life. I couldn't be more grateful to have had him as my counsel (several times) and helping me get stable equal custody of my daughter, who is now be my side more than expected and no longer disrupted by capricious and selfish actions from the dark side. Priceless...

A lawyer willing to go the distance

After retaining Mr. Jonasz in mid 2015 he has been instrumental in navigating what became a 2 1/2 year ordeal. He was able to simultaneously scrutinize guardian ad litem as well as family therapist reports for inconsistencies while coordinating experts to argue said discrepancies. I'm the midst of a...ll of this he never lost sight of the goal and vigorously protected my rights as a male parent. As a result of his attention to detail and mastery in the courtroom i a single dad was awarded custody of both my children. I know not everyone gets the outcome they hope for but I can honestly say if you don't it won't be because of a lack of effort or talent on Mr Jonasz behalf.

A divorcee attorney who cares !

Jonathan was an amazing help with the process of my divorce from start to finish. Detailed orientated, dedicated and compassionate. He was available to answer any questions or concerns I had thoughout the process. Jonathan is hard working, and gets the job done. I recommend Jonathan to handle your c...ase, as he will listen, as well as fight for your rights and your children's best interest.

Jonasz saved me thousands and won back my life!

Jonathan Jonasz and his team (Cristiana Esteves) represented me in a case regarding the modification of a timeshare and care agreement of a minor child. After struggling to defend myself from countless petitions for modification, which left me emotionally taxed and physically drained, a friend led m...e to Jonathan. Looking back to last year, I can say without a doubt that the day I met Jonathan was the first day of my liberation from a long-lived nightmare of excessive and unnecessary litigation, outrageous legal fees, missed workdays and the fear from being repeatedly served by my “seek and destroy” minded ex-spouse. From day one, Jonathan was straight-up with me; pointing out advantages/disadvantages of different legal strategies and the relationship and monetary cost of each. I was impressed with his knowledge of family law and his ability to recite case law specific to my situation on command. The most impressive quality that Jonathan has is his uncanny ability to display an unrivalled Pitbull-like mindset when he needs to be in “attack” mode for his client; nothing dirty, just good old-fashioned legal research put forth as technical acumen with a “kick.” After reading his initial email messages and hearing his telephonic communication to opposing counsel, I was sure that I was on the right side of the bar fight. As tough as Jonathan will fight for you, he’ll also work just as hard keep you from joining the fight. Rather than allowing me to self-implode many times during the case or have him employ retaliatory tactics towards my ex-spouse and her lawyer, Jonathan showed empathy for me and our minor child, he listened to and allowed me to vent, but kept me focused on doing what was best for our minor child. I recall one defining moment when I knew for certain that I had the right lawyer; Jonathan sat me down after he noticed that opposing counsel was getting under my skin…He said ”I have one question for you. Is your child important to you?” My answer was a resounding, “Yes!” To which he replied, “Well let’s do this the right way and leave the dirty stuff to them; the law is what we’ll fight with.” Jonathan successfully thwarted attempts by opposing counsel to serve me at my workplace, protected me from multiple baseless discovery requests, shielded me from my own natural desire to react while under attack, and was available via email, phone, in person no matter when I needed him. If my case were in the news, they’d be reporting on how Jonathan took my ex-spouse’s well-heeled lawyer behind the woodshed on my behalf and came back with my case being settled out of court in my favor! I knew a few months in that I had hired a solid lawyer last year, but when the process was over 7-months later, I was certain that I had gained a friend. I give an enthusiastic recommendation for Jonathan Jonasz and his team for anyone with family law needs.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Jonathan and I were opposing counsel on a paternity case that involved very complicated issues. Even though we were on opposite sides, Jonathan and I worked very well with one another and actually came up with a solution that saved our clients tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. I definitely would not mind having cases against him in the future. Family law is quite contentious, but he is very professional in his dealings with other attorneys."
