Civil Suit

Jon is the best lawyer I've ever worked with. He did everything he could to help me. From the start Jon was very responsive and always explained everything in terms I could easily understand. Jon's staff was also kind and responsive. I highly recommend Jon and would use him again in the future. ... Several months after being done with my case, another lawyer, handling a different part of the case, commented on how well Jon handled my civil suit.

Wrongful death

Jonathan Stoudt gave us excellent counsel during our time with him. He was very informative and always answered our questions honestly and with integrity. We would highly recommend him.

Outstanding Attorney, highly recommend!

I was referred to Rourke & Blumenthal when my son needed representation in a personal injury. Jonathan was the recommended attorney based on the details. The issue was a little complicated at the beginning, because my son had started a case with another law firm, but that attorney had a sudden death.... From the very first time we consulted with Jon, we immediately felt at ease. He was calm, compassionate and positive about our case potential. He really listened to my son and talked to him in a way he could understand. He made us feel confident about his competence, and we retained his services. Over the following several months, Jon kept in close contact with us, and gave us regular updates. In the middle of our case, the Covid-19 Pandemic hit. But did that stop Jon? Far from it! He kept in regular contact with us through email and phone calls. After the mandatory quarantine that was imposed on America, and the subsequent social restrictions here in Ohio, he seemed to redouble his efforts. His office made accommodations for socially-distant meetings using the CDC guidelines for safety where we all wore masks, kept 6 feet apart and had access to several hand sanitizer stations. Jon picked up where we left off and it seemed like a blur from there, it feels to me like he worked even harder to get my son’s case resolved. I cannot say one negative thing about Jon. However, I have plenty of good things, some of which I’ve already said. Jon, you’re a credit and a real asset to Rourke & Blumenthal and I’m so happy to have met such a good person and outstanding attorney. Keep up the great work!

The very best

Jon was absolutely outstanding to work with! Our case was a lengthy process with many moving parts and he worked through it with ease! He worked around my husbands very busy schedule as well as our relocation about 2 hours away from Columbus. They helped us stay organized and they were constantly fol...lowing up with us to give us updates and put our minds at ease. He treated us like family and we are forever grateful for everything he did for us. I would recommend Jon hands down to anyone in the Ohio area!

Personal Injury

Mr. Stoudt was hired to represent my daughter who was injured in an automobile accident. He alleviated all stress from us regarding bills, paperwork, insurance, etc. Whenever we received any documents regarding the matter, we simply forwarded everything to him and he took care of it so we could focus... simply on my daughter's health. I can not say enough about how helpful, effective, and quick to respond to us he was whenever we had any questions. I would not hesitate to use him again.
