I would hire Jonah again

Jonah did a good job with my case. He was very responsive and made good strategy choices. I would hire him again.

Case dismissed, thank you!!!

I can’t thank Jonah Dickstein enough for his outstanding work on my case. I was facing false charges of misuse of the 911 or E911 system and resisting an officer without violence, brought against me by an angry officer when I was never arrested. From the beginning, Jonah demonstrated a deep understan...ding of the legal system and an impressive knowledge of the law. Rather than wasting time and money in court, he worked to secure a pretrial deferment, which ultimately led to my case being dismissed. Jonah is incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients’ well-being. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy and effective attorney. He turned a stressful situation into a manageable process and achieved the best possible outcome for me.

Highly recommended!

Was always extremely responsive and knowledgeable on the case I hired him for. Our case took a oddly long amount of time. However, Jonah was there for the entire process and gave the family and client alot of support that never wavered even as time went. I am glad I did my research and hired Jonah as... he was well worth the time spent on searching for a good lawyer.

Best decision we made

Hiring jonah was Was the best decision I could have made! My fiancé was facing a potential sentence of 5 years in prison and it was not looking good. by the time I hired Jonah He was the third lawyer on the case And the only lawyer that took the time to listen to the situation in full and understand... the complexities surrounding it. He was willing to take the case and do his best to turn this situation around all while maintaining a positive and very patient demeanor. He he was diligent in his research on the case, and it paid off because he was able to get my fiance the Best possible outcome for his situation. I could not be happier with his representation and would highly recommend him to anybody in need of a lawyer!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
