Beyond Amazing & a great Attorney.

I can't express how much Jonathan helped me, in a time where no one else would take my case. It was at the last minute when I found him on Google & he didn't hesitate, he jumped right on my case & got it dismissed!! I am happy because this case was almost 10 years old & since then I got married & h...ad 2 children!! Jonathan & his team are beyond amazing & i recommend them.

License Restoration - 2nd DUI

Jonathan worked very hard for me though the entire process and all of its stages. I was very well prepared for the final hearing after following all of his advice. I confidently recommend him to everyone I know and I am SO grateful to finally have my life back!

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.
