A great elder law attorney!

Jonathan Green has been my attorney for the last 12 years and I highly recommend him. He has helped me navigate a very difficult situation with my elderly parents which included guardianship and conservatorship appointment not once, but twice. He has always been professional but also kind and compass...ionate. If you need an elder law attorney I can’t recommend him enough!

review for JonathanD. Green LLC.

I'm not in the habit of endorsing lawyers, however Mr. Green is the most ethical, client focused, outcome oriented individuals I have ever met. He gave good sound advise an directions and made sure that we understood our options, which assisted us in making good decisions in dealing with Medicaid iss...ues. The quality of service was the highest level of competency, and responsive to our needs. I would overwhelmingly recommend his services, especially if you want things done right!

Legal services for estate executor

I have been the executor (personal representative) for an estate, and Jonathan handled the issues related to obtaining letters testamentary, probating the will, contacting the heirs and distributing assets. He advised me in regard to managing the property and assets until disbursement was made. I w...as very satisfied with how Jonathan handled all the details of the will. He was very thorough in reviewing the will and other documents. He gave me much confidence that all matters were handled properly and that the heirs were properly cared for.

  • 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.
