Jonathan Daniel Wald

If you are reading this you are probably in a difficult situation that you are trying to gain control over and are hoping that you make the right decision in selecting the attorney who will work with you to protect your child, you, and life as you know it. Rest assured, Jon Wald is that attorney. I... am just a regular guy who was blindsided by a spouse of many years who, backed by her multi-millionaire relative, engaged in a course of behavior aimed to permanently remove me from my child's life. From the very beginning when I hired him he was very responsive to rapidly changing events and to a series of actions designed to deny me of my paternal rights, my right to work in my profession, and, my very freedom. Jon advised me early on to avoid seemingly (at the time) innocuous situations that turned out to be traps set by the opposing party--Advice which today I am very grateful that I took to heart. In a short amount of time I went from not knowing where my daughter was to obtaining an order granting me equal timesharing and protecting my daughter's interests. When a third party known to me harassed and threatened me about the case in the middle of the night, Mr. Wald responded (at midnight on a Sunday) and the phone harassment ended. In fact, Mr. Wald has responded to every communication from me nearly immediately, sometimes in emergency situations after business hours. His actions and advice early in the case were instrumental to the positive outcome achieved. In the courtroom Mr. Wald was masterful in the way he was able to expose and challenge falsehoods and misrepresentations. I would describe his courtroom style as that of a cross between Perry Mason and the Tom Cruise character from "A Few Good Men". Furthermore, throughout the entire case, Mr. Wald was careful to manage my costs, which I am convinced turned out to be a fraction of what any other lawyer would have billed. Jon doesn't simply show up to work every day and "phone it in". He really "lived my case." taking the time to fully understand the entire situation and working tirelessly to achieve a solution. (In my case, a settlement that seemed all but impossible beforehand). I cannot fully describe the feelings I had outside the courtroom when I was reunited with my daughter. Sheryl, his Legal Administrator was also amazing, and worked tirelessly, even attending some of the hearings with Jon and being there to keep me focused and relaxed. and the same goes for Elizabeth the assistant who was very accurate and diligent. To whoever reads this, I pray and hope that your divorce is amicable and without complication, but know that you cannot predict the relentless attacks that the other side may have in store for you, nor can you predict the effect such a prolonged battle will have on your ability to function in your daily life, You need Jon Wald on your side to respond to these situations so that you can continue to live your life because if you can't function, you have lost the war. Hiring Jon was the most important decision I made in my life, and I thank God every day that I did.
