Jonathan Daniel Wald

My experience with this firm was so unprofessional it makes my skin crawl. Minimum yours of work, falsely charged me for hours he never logged. Rarely returned calls. I read his "good" reviews and they are so cookie cutter they can't be real. One was even left by someone with his same exact nam...e. Another left by someone with his same exact last name... Hmmm. Fraudulent?? I was tricked... Don't be fooled like me. Stay away.

I just read the review of someone saying Jonathon and his staff did not answer calls. I can tell you that was absolutely NOT my case. Jonathon and his staff were very professional and always seemed to go the extra mile. All my calls/emails were answered ASAP, usually the very same day or by the next ...day at the very least. I always knew what was going on with my case. And NEVER did I feel Jonathon was just trying to get money, just the opposite I always felt he was doing his very best for me and my family. I can not say enough wonderful things about Jonathon. I was very guarded, I had been thru the court process previously, but this time I quickly saw Jon was not going to take the "crap" administered by the other side. I always felt Jonathon had both my best interest and my children's best interest at heart. At the same time he was honest with me, when telling me what to expect and what I could not expect. He thought of ways to negotiate and settle matters that I (or previous attorney) never thought of. Most of all, Jonathon always stood firm for me. With my previous attorney things had been left hanging, which allowed the other side to do whatever he wanted. Jonathon made sure the process was finished, with no room for speculation. My advice is to absolutely trust Jonathon. You will never regret it!

My sister and I recently hired Attorney Jonathan Wald, and we had a terrible experience related to how he handled our case. For example, he will hardly return our calls and when he did he didn't provide us with updates as he wasn't aware what his secretary filed or not on his behalf. We also didn...'t like the idea that even though he swore it would only be a flat fee, he kept asking for additional funds every other week. We are giving Jonathan Wald one star due to the lack of organization, lack of honesty, and the overall experience with him and his office.

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.
