The best Attorney I have ever worked with
I hired Jonathan Chance to defend me in an employment law case. There are several reasons why I highly recommend Jonathan: - Professional: Felt like he was knowledgeable, researched my issue thoroughly, and worked very hard to defend me. - Responsive: Always quick to return my calls, texts, emails, etc. - Results: Successfully defended me and I avoided a lawsuit (which was my ultimate goal, I did not want to go to court over the issue). I also appreciate that his rates were reasonable. When I called around and spoke to several other attorneys before deciding to hire Mr. Chance, many of them wanted to charge a several thousand dollar retainer fee before they would even consider working my case. You will not be disappointed with Jonathan. He is the simply the best at what he does, and performs at a very high level.

Mr Chance is a true professional and takes pride in his customer service as well as his being prepared. he made sure I understood all aspects of the case and was prepared for what the judge may ask or hand down. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney

Great attorney!
Jonathan Chance was given to me as a public defender for my federal case. Without Jonathan Chance as my lawyer I don’t know if I would’ve got as good of a deal as I did. He made me feel welcomed during the long period of time my case went on and helped me every step of the way for almost three full years. I really think if I had a different attorney, one who didn’t care to help as much as Mr. Chance did, then I would’ve been sentenced to prison instead of probation. While on pre trial release I messed up and quit contacting my probation officer which lead to me going back into custody and Jonathan helped me get back out, and then helped me settle a deal with the government for a lower end sentence of the sentencing guidelines and even got me three years probation instead of a 30 month sentence in prison which I am extremely grateful for. Overall a great attorney and I highly recommend him for the job, he has a great reputation in Indiana.

True fighter and highly competent. Should be your 1st choice!
I initially reached out to Mr. Chance to see if he would be interested in representing me on a non compete covenant as I was about to leave my employer to seek similar work in my field. This grew into me needing representation on a wage and hour dispute with additional protection against a countersuit involving an intellectual property claim over software design. Mr. Chance absolutely represented me in spectacular fashion! I have had to hire attorneys in the past and I can say, without a doubt, this was the first time an attorney really understood my needs. He was very responsive to my questions. In many cases his responses would lead to me further realizing evidence that would fortify our position. Needing an attorney is an emotional rollercoaster and it moves you to make rash decisions but he brought me to reality on many occasions with good reasoning and explanations on how it could actually derail the case. I have immense respect for an attorney that will tell you straight out that you shouldn't waste your time even though it could generate billable hours for them. I was satisfied with the outcome of our case because of the fantastic work of a very competent and thorough attorney, Mr. Jonathan Chance, Esq. !

So Far, So Good!
Though I have only had a few interactions with Jonathon through a case my family is involved in, I have been overall extremely happy with him. He is definitely someone who has gained my trust, when our previous lawyer lost it. He is available and he takes care of business promptly and thoroughly. The best part about him is that he is very kind and patient, which I feel like makes him to such a fantastic job and gives us a lot of hope, when so much of it was lost.

Finalize old Divorce
Hired Jonathan to clean-up an old divorce that was not finalized. Original divorce was filed in 1985 in California and to my surprise was not finalized. Jonathan handled this case in a professional and timely manner even though original filing was almost 30 years old and the parties now lived outside of California. His legal knowledge and professional contacts were a great benefit in getting the divorce finalized with the original 1985 date - it also prevented an ex-wife from making my life unbearable. I was very happy with the outcome and professional handling of a sensitive situation. I would recommend Jonathan and would use him again.

Does not disappoint. Delivers every time.
Jonathan Chance does not disappoint. Whenever we have needed representation in family law, he delivers everything we ask for. Examples include a stay in the wage garnishment, lower support payments, and being able to claim the child, as a non-custodial parent, on taxes as a dependent. He follows up with writing the Findings and Order After Hearing (FOAH) quickly, succinctly and accurately. He knows the law. He gets business done. He is decisive, authoritative, and gives me the proper perspective whenever my case gets too heated.

Trusted Attorney
I've hired Jonathan Chance a few times the last couple years for multiple problems that I've had including: license suspension, traffic citations and a recent DUI. He is a fantastic traffic attorney, and I'm so glad that I found him. I've continued using his services due to the fact that he's more than competent at his job.. At any point that I attempted to contact him, he was always quick to respond and knew everything going on with my case. He does everything possible to help ensure a good outcome and I'm thankful for everything he's been able to do for me. If I ever run into another traffic problem (fingers crossed I won't), I will not hesitate to call him again for his services.

Skillful attourney, top recommendation
I hired Jonathan Chance to defend me in a multiple infraction and misdemeanor fraud case that I thought was air-tight against me. In the end he bargained the DA to drop all the charges down to a single infraction with a modest fine. The reduction in state fines alone nearly paid for Mr. Chance's services, not to mention avoiding the misdemeanor on my record, avoiding any jail time, and avoiding all the hassle of me attending hearings or pretrial conferences. I hope to never need a lawyer again, but if I do I'm giving Jonathan Chance a call!

Outstanding Job
Johnathan did an exemplary job of representing me in numerous hearings, as well as through the discovery process in my litigation. He proved to be thorough and accurate in all his paperwork, an attribute which I find rare in many attorneys. Most importantly however, his work ethic and knowledge resulted in victories in over 90 percent of the hearings (motions etc.) in which he was present.

I think Jonathan is great!
I’ve had several cases that Jonathan Chance has represented me in - both as plaintiff and defendant. He’s always been very professional and tenacious. He can get under the opposing counsel’s skin, which I think is a very favorable attribute. I had one case that I transferred over to Jonathan after paying another attorney a lot of money and getting nowhere. After Jonathan took over we had a successful outcome. He’s always been very responsive with both phone calls and emails. He knows he’s working for you and is not afraid to work for you. We had to go to the court of appeals twice and he won both cases. One was against a well-respected East Bay law firm. I would highly recommend Jonathan Chance and J. C. Law Offices. Gary B, Hillsborough, CA
