Our corporate attorney

Jonathan has represented my firm for about 10 years. During that period he has handled all of our legal matters from potential litigation, acquisitions, legal advise, and ultimately the sale of our company. He is by far the most ethical, honest attorney I have ever been associated with. He worked ...efficiently with our accounting firm and was a mentor to the ownership of our company.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
