About Jonathan

Mr. Klurfeld began his undergraduate studies at Michigan State University and received his Bachelors of Arts degree from Oakland University and his Juris Doctorate degree from Saint Thomas University School of Law, where he was a member of the Phi Delta Phi International Legal Honors Fraternity, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program, Business Law Society and Sports & Entertainment Law Society.

During law school, he clerked for the Honorable Ronald Dresnick in the 11th Circuit Court in downtown Miami, where he learned the foundation of civil law as well as foreclosure law during the real estate crash in 2009-2010.  After his 2nd year of law school, he began interning at a general practice law firm, intricately learning all areas of the law.  He eventually was admitted to the Florida Bar and became an attorney at the firm.  Mr. Klurfeld later worked at a premier foreclosure defense firm for 2 years focusing on foreclosure defense, condominium association law, landlord/tenant and business law matters.

As a private attorney, Mr. Klurfeld can devote time to each client and the personal attention that larger firms cannot give, with close attention to detail.

Review Jonathan Klurfeld

2 friends make a deal 2 sell mobile-home 4 15K & now buyer wants a break on the remaining 7K owed because he is spending too muc

Posted by

I've heard it said that any lawyer who hires himself to be an atty. has a fool for a client; apparently this works both ways for the client too. Lesson learned? Always hire somebody that does for a living the job you need done. Thank you Mr. Klurfeld, your answer 2 my Ques. was exactly what my gut was telling me, “Hire an attorney. Never let the buyer move in before payment in full.” Most of all don’t mix friendship and business. If exploiting a situation is in your nature, it seems, then that side will always take over. My friend wanted a good deal(and got it) yet he wants to remodel ASAP, at my expense. 2BR’s+2Bath, Gd Sized Rooms, Plenty Wnds,CtrlAir, Scrnd-inPorch &Coat of FreshPaint. He said as there was no “AS IS” in the contract, therefore since his ‘fixer-up jobs’ were adding up to $$$ he should be allow to deduct them from the total still owed while I wait 2 mnths 4 my next payment! Never saw that one coming but a 10 year friendshp ain’t enough to really know a guy, I guess. Why is it that we never think things like this happen to regular people? My desire was to help out a buddy and of course the cash deal was also attractive. I was shocked, felt taken advantage of, then angry; now I need a lawyer. I appreciate it, Jonathan that you are a professional and I would recommend to anyone to use your services. The fact that you speak your mind is just the frank assessment I needed to hear. More than likely, you’ve seen your share of bad decisions in real estate law and I seem to have blundered right into one of the top five. Thanks for your help for right now and in the future.

HE IS SO NICE

I messaged Jonathan for a few more questions that i had, he is so nice to answer them. If i need any attorney in the future, I'd definitely hire him.

Wow! An honest and not greedy lawyer.

Posted by

Mr Klurfeld answered my questions about a realty contract in great details being very generous of his time and knowledge. It is refreshing not to get the usual answer: "get a lawyer". If you are in the Boca Raton area in Florida and have real estate transactions to do (he is also in the real estate business) I highly recommend you retain his services. I know I would!

Answers questions with great detail.

He provided answers my own lawyer did not provide me. I would probably use him if I haven't already put my lawyer on retainer.

Jonathan Klurfeld's response: Thank you very much If we can assist in the future with any issues you have, please do keep us in mind.

Very good lawyer, can't say enough good things

Posted by

I greatly appreciate Jonathan's help with my foreclosure situation. He got me a great modification with Ocwen at a much lower monthly payment that I had before; about 1/3rd off of what my old payment was.

Great Experience!

Posted by

Mr. Klurfeld did an excellent job defending my foreclosure case for many years and ultimately saving my house getting my loan modified. I greatly appreciate his efforts and the very reasonable price he charged me throughout the case; never exceeding what I thought was more than fair to have to pay for the amount of time

Fantastic Job Done By This Firm

Posted by

Mr. Klurfeld's office did a fantastic job on my foreclosure case. After being approved for a trial loan modification once, and not liking the offer, his office got me approved yet again somehow and at a much better rate and terms. I cannot thank his office enough for the work done and reasonable fees I was charged compared to other attorneys I've worked with in the past.

Helped save my house and $100k off my principal

Jonathan did excellent work with my house for 2.5 years. Finally we got a modification offer from Ocwen for $100k off of my principal and an affordable payment in a permanent modification. Will reccomend him to everyone that I know.
