The Best Attorney

Mr. Jones represented my son. He met with the family, let us know what to expect from him and how he would work for us. Yes, he delivered and more. Mr. Jones didn't sugarcoat the situation. It was a learning experience for me, but it was more than an aha moment for my son. It was more like a wel...come to the real world for my son. I can't say enough about Mr. Jones. If you want someone who really cares about you and your family and does what's best for you. He can and will work it out for your best interest. What I do know is, if you really want results and you want the truth, then he's the attorney for you and your family. I'm truly glad that we hired Mr. Jones.

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate you understanding that I have to be direct especially with kids to send a strong message. When I can make an impact on a kids life and help out a family it is very rewarding. The stakes are much higher as an adult. He is a good kid.

Helpful and Kind!

I was charged with a misdemeanor drug offense while visiting Michigan and called several lawyers in the area. Jonathan Jones was the only one who responded to me promptly and seemed to care about helping me. Despite probably having more important cases he was always prompt in responding to my quest...ions and had time to explain and discuss things with me. He even drove several hours to St. Joseph MI to represent me at court and his professional and friendly manner was undoubtably helpful in quickly resolving my legal issues. His advice and concern helped me deal with the stressful situation and with his help and charisma I was able to get a shorter probation than expected. I would highly recommend Jonathan Jones.

Wonderful Attorney

Jonathan is an excellent attorney. He keeps you informed on whats going on with your case, He is very pleasant,prompt and observant. He looks for all possible ways to get things dismissed. Most importantly he makes you feel comfortable and helps you remain positive during your entire case. Jonathan h...as worked wonders for me i was facing two felony charges and possibly losing my career, He guaranteed me from the day i met him he would get rid of my problem and he has. It has been my pleasure to have him as my attorney. If you need a criminal defense attorney he's your guy. His pricing is reasonable and he does payment plans.

  • 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.
