Hiring Jonathan Root- The Best Decision!!!

I could not have made it through my divorce without Jonathan Root. His professionalism and tenacity helped me accomplish the impossible. He is able to drill down the most complicated situation and drive it forward to a resolution. He is a force to be reckoned with despite also being kind and empathic.... I highly recommend Jonathan Root and am forever grateful to this gentleman!

Failed to Respond Once Taking On Case

I called in to get help with a child custody case and was unable to make progress with the Root law firm. They really dropped the ball on my case and I had to hire a different lawyer to get this sussed out.

I respect that every person has the right to the freedom of speech as provided for under the United States Constitution, so that they can speak freely. However when free speech becomes defamatory, a response is necessary. I never represented this person and I believe that this is a gross abuse of the first amendment right to free speech, I vehemently dispute the allegations set forth herein as they are defamatory, inaccurate and unwarranted.

THE BEST!

I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Root! He is focused on WINNING your case! If you are looking for an attorney who will zealously represent you and protect your interests, Mr. Root is the one! Mr. Root handled a custody dispute for me - he was excellent and got me the results that he told me at the onset he wo...uld. I only wish I knew of him and hired him at the time of my divorce. Besides Mr. Root fighting aggressively and smartly in the court, he was always available to me for calls, conferences, and even reviewing my planned emails to my ex, which I found very helpful. His guidance throughout the entire process was invaluable. Mr. Root is very experienced and knowledgeable in the family law matters, and the results of my case reflect that. He was my true advocate. In addition, Mr. Root is very professional and so is every single member of his staff. It was truly a pleasure to deal with the entire office.

Disappointing Result Lost My Business

Was assured that everything was going to be okay and we had a slam dunk case but in the end we lost and not only did we lose the case but we lost my business and dignity which was very upsetting as it was not expected especially with a hot shot and highly reviewed lawyer like jonathan. Now im trying ...to rebuild.

Worst Mistake Hiring Him

Worst mistake hiring Jonathan Root. He was rude and obnoxious and never gave me the time of day during my case. Was impossible to get calls returned and am no longer using him.
