Great Mannerisms & Professional yet Personable

Jonathan Jones was precise and to the point with my son's case. He was very helpful and compassionate, yet professional at the same time. He is very knowledgeable about the law and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Thank you so much!

Compassionate, Caring, and Professional

I hired Jonathan Jones to represent me in a PPO violation. He not only got the charge reduced from criminal to civil contempt of court with a delayed sentence, he gave me suggestions for moving on productively with my life. Throughout everything, he was very caring and compassionate, and treated me l...ike a person, not a criminal.

Best call I could have ever made!!

From the moment I met Jonathan I could feel the weight removed from my shoulders. The personal care he gave to me and my son was something I have never experienced. Jonathan let my son know he had someone who truly cared and would treat him as if he was his own, and he did just that. The support h...e gave to me during a difficult time was like no other, I have shared my experience with friends and family and will continue to refer Jonathan to anyone who is in need of a lawyer who believes in what he does and has a passion for his work which is an amazing thing in this day and age. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for all that you have done for us so thank you!

Highly Recommened

Sleepless nights and Anxiety for the future was what I was feeling when I was arrested for my 3rd Identify Theft. After researching online I retained Jonathan Jones …Within minutes of retention I had already received text messages from him explaining exactly what I needed to do and exactly what he... could do. Even though he wasn't able to be there at my 1st appearance he made sure I had representation and at the hearing everything that could have been done at that moment was done. I couldn’t have been more impressed by his professionalism and prompt responses to all my questions. Even though he have probably answered the same questions a million times he made me feel like an individual and for the first time in all my dealings with lawyers he made me feel like he cared. Mr .Jones isn't just your attorney but he's also your friend. Immediately I felt more at ease and relaxed with the situation. As stated previously, this was my 3rd offense and I was facing 10 years minimum as a habitual offender. After working with the State I was looking at jail time or probation. Finally, it was sentencing and I was looking at 180 days jail time following 3 years probation, but with the exceptional work of Mr. Jones he was able to get me 180days on house arrest with the tether followed by the three years probation. From day one Mr. Jones told me he would keep me out of jail and prison, and he did that. I highly recommended Mr. Jones for any legal matter you're facing. My praise doesn’t come easily and this is my way of thanking them for an outstanding job!! I could never thank him enough for the EXCEPTIONAL JOB he did.
