Want the best representation? Hire Jonathan.

Jonathan responded to my call immediately, texting me while he was in court! and let me know that he could help me. He spoke to the prosecuting attorney the next day, negotiated a fair settlement and kept me out of jail. I could not be happier with his professionalism, responsiveness and advice. Jona...than Jones is my go-to guy when I screw up (and get caught!)...and he should be yours too.

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.

Grateful - Great Lawyer

I was in need of a lawyer for my son and didn't know where to turn. I took a chance on Jonathan Jones and am so grateful I did. He calmed me down and told me not to worry stating that was his job. He stated all we needed to do was show up in court and he would handle the rest. That was exactly wh...at he did and the outcome was way better then I ever expected. He was also available by phone and text and answered all my questions. Great lawyer. Thanks Jonathan!

Cindy Thanks for the nice review. It is my job, but it is a pleasure to help good people out. We all want what is best for our kids. He is lucky to have a mom who shows so much love and support. Take Care- Jonathan

Posted by Davina | June 01, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

He cared. He listened. He got results

I was skeptical at first because he was the least expensive lawyer that I had contacted. Turns out, his priced was based on the fact that he actually gives a damn and sees no reason for you to pay some insane obnoxious price just because he knows you're probably desperate. Jonathan showed up early to... every court date. Sent me reminder text to make sure I would be there with what I needed. And kept me updated along the way. Anyone with any legal knowledge has told me that I got the best possible outcome due to my representation and I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks Jon

Extremely Thankful

During a difficult time in my sons life Jonathon Jones was more than a lawyer. He was an advisor, counselor, and treated my son as if he was his own. He was able to bring the truth about my sons character to light. I was very afraid that one simple mistake would ruin my sons life. But Jonathon was a...ble to provide the very best possible outcome all while keeping me calm. I would describe him as being compassionate, kind, and one-step-ahead of the rest. Any questions I had along the way was answered promptly by him. I never had to deal with anyone but him throughout this case. Thanks to him my son will be attending his choice college in the fall. I never thought I would need a lawyer but I am so glad I chose Jonathan to represent my son. Thank you so very much Jonathon!

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.
