Excellent Representation

I hired Jonathan Garver to represent me in a traffic case that had multiple charges and the potential for serious points. He was professional, responsive, and very clear about the process from start to finish. Through his efforts, the original charges were significantly reduced, multiple violation...s were dismissed, and I avoided fines and court costs. The outcome was far better than I expected. I’m a full-time student, and he made sure that was properly considered in resolving the case. I’m very grateful for his work and would strongly recommend him to anyone dealing with a traffic or municipal court matter.

Great and helpful lawyer

I had a great experience working with Garver Jonathan. As an out-of-state driver, I was unsure how to handle my traffic ticket, but they made the process smooth and stress-free. They communicated clearly, handled everything on my behalf, and got the outcome I was hoping for. Highly recommend for anyo...ne needing help with a traffic case from out of state.

All The Attributes You Need in a Family Law Attorney!

I reached out to Jonathan after a Google review to obtain some assistance with a child support matter. Not only did Jonathan immediately contact me to get more specific information, he continued to be communitive and provided excellent guidance through the process. Our family highly recommends Jona...than for your family law matters!

Professional, Affordable and Expert Lawyer

I was facing a 4th degree criminal misdemeanor with a potential 30 day jail sentence for repeated speeding tickets (three moving violations within one year under Ohio law). I contacted Jon who thoroughly described my options and possible scenarios in a professional and responsive manner. Jon took my ...case at an affordable rate. Jon was able to negotiate with the prosecutor (against seemingly impossible odds given previous violations) to plead the third speeding charge to a non-moving violation. The case was disposed at the first pre-trial with no points to my license, no additional court sanctions and I got away with just a fine. I highly recommend Jon, as he is a miracle worker you want in your corner if you're ever in trouble!

Custody

After years of trying to avoid family court, my family found ourselves in a place where it looked inevitable. We contacted Mr Garver personally (as he does not seem to employ a staff) and he immediately got to work on our case. He has worked tirelessly on our behalf. We have never had to wait on ...him or felt as if we were not a priority. He has listened to our every concern and has been patient with our ignorance with the system. He's has been an absolute blessing. It's such a comfort to know there are people like him working within our justice system. Intelligent, kind hearted people who truly make the world a better place.
