Terrible lawyer

Please avoid this attorney! If I could give no stars, I would. Jon does not return calls, does not do what he says he will do, makes mistakes that are, frankly, unbelievable. I have been trying to get a qualified domestic relations order completed for three years, and it should never have taken more ...than 6 months per my new attorney. I paid Jon a handsome some of money upfront, only for him to disappear and not get the QDRO completed. Do your research -- reviews of Jon are terrible. I am sorry I did not, but came here to be sure you do! Stay away -- he's about as bad as they get.

Incredible

My fiances ex husband recently filed for a divorce. Jon is very compassionate. He listened, review our case. He didnt make my fiance feel like she was just another case. He made her feel welcome. There noone else i would go to for legal assistance.

He is absolutely amazing

My ex husband filed for divorce and in doing so is trying to get full custody of my developmentally delayed daughter. Jon olinger listened to me and he gave me the legal advice I needed. He worked out payment arrangements with me and made me feel like i was not jus another case or just another dollar... sign. He is amazing i would definitely recommend him for any and all your legal problems.

Helped me at my lowest

I found myself in legal trouble and unable to secure counsel. Jon worked with me to gain his representation. I was pessimistic about life at the time; I thought I would definitely get the worst outcome and lose my job among many other negative consequences. Mr. Olinger not only got counts dropped but... also struck a plea deal which helped me tremendously. He is a relentless worker and a good person to have in your corner when you need it most.

  • 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.
