Real Estate Representation

Jonathan is professional, knowledgeable, and amazing in the courtroom. I recommend Jonathan without reservation to anyone looking for a fabulous attorney. He represented me in a real estate case, proving the seller did not abided by the contract, and he saved me more than ten thousand dollars!

EXPERIENCED, THOROUGH, and PREPARED

...And may I add ethical, hardworking, and easy to get a long with? When my family found ourselves needing a lawyer to represent us in an unpleasant real estate matter, Jonathan Guthrie was recommended to us by a fellow attorney. Jonathan’s easy, affable manner made a distasteful situation palatab...le, and his sharp mind and his attention to detail convinced us that we were in good, capable hands. At no point did Jonathan ever overstate his confidence or lead us to believe that lawsuits are easy. He was sober and careful in considering all sides of the case, and he went above and beyond in first unearthing – and then understanding – all the facts that related to our lawsuit. He made absolutely sure that he knew our case as well as we knew it. One of Jonathan’s underestimated skills is his ability to prepare his clients for the steps in a legal case. At no point did he allow us to go into a meeting or a deposition unprepared or not knowing what to expect. Jonathan scheduled time to prep us, explaining the process in terms that non-lawyers would understand, and he went so far as to prepare us for the individual personalities of the lawyers and judges with whom we would be interacting. There are not enough positive things to say about Jonathan Guthrie as a lawyer. We are grateful for the way he brought our case to a satisfactory close, and we recommend him highly and wholeheartedly.

I have been using Jonathan Guthrie as an attorney for personal and commercial matters for over 10 years. I've been incredibly pleased with the timeliness and quality of his work. He has handled personal matters such as disputes and wills, and commercial matters from contracts to client bankruptcies..., and across the board he has been excellent.

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.
