trust worthy, kind, and professional..

I have known Jonathan for 6 years. In those years he has helped me with two OWI charges. From the beginning Jonathan was up front, trust worthy, kind, and professional through the entire court process. He kept me in the loop with everything and explained things in detail to help me better understand ...the legal system. Whenever I got nervous or anxious, Jonathan was a call/text away to reassure me that he had my back and that he was here for me. That he had this. Just seeing him walk into the court house put me at ease knowing that he would do everything in his power to help me. He responded to every phone call and text in a timely manner. Whether it was early in the morning, late at night, or on a weekend, he always responded. He is a natural at putting people at easy during some of the most difficult and stressful times. He is confident in his ability to represent people to the highest extent and has the education and experience to show it. Jonathan represented me, for who I am, not the mistakes I’ve made. Jonathan Jones is the only lawyer I have ever had and the only one I will recommend. I have the utmost respect for Jonathan and his commitment and diligence to helping others. I am confident that Jonathan Jones can help you with any legal problem you may be facing as he tremendously helped me.

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

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.

One of the worst decisions

Received a first DUI about 6 years ago. Mr. Jones was the first lawyer I found in Royal Oak DUI Lawyer Google Search. I reached out via phone. He calmed my anxiety and I was able to relax and go see him the next business day. Very chatty and appears to be a master at virtue signaling. I paid the $2,0...00 retainer on the spot. First actual hearing in Royal Oak court he didn't show for 30 minutes after the court time hearing. I was freaking out. Finally, some woman rushes into the waiting area outside of the courthouse and calls out my name, "Joe ________?" She tells me she is appearing on his behalf and ASKS ME TO EXPLAIN THE DETAILS OF MY CASE within 5 minutes and then stands next to me at the stand. I felt like I was on a prank show. He outsourced his appearance at my hearing to someone who had NO CLUE about my case.

Horrible Attorney, stay clear

Good luck getting hold of this attorney after you pay the fees. He did not show up on zoom and left my divorce attorney to handle the PPO which did not end well. He will make you promises till he gets paid then its like you never hired him! I will sue him for gross negligence once my divorce is over....
