Highly Recommend!

I have hired Johnathan twice over the past couple of years. Johnathan is very supportive and understanding. He takes time to listen. He provides clear and thorough explanations of all options and is transparent in his recommendations. Johnathan is honest and straightforward. He truly cares about just...ice and equity and will advocate with persistent tenacity on behalf of his clients. I recommend Jonathan as a lawyer for employment, labor, business, and real estate matters. I would also recommend Johnathan as a resource for any other legal needs. He is very knowledgeable and provides sound and reliable advice.

Fantastic, honest advice.

Jonathan gave me a lot of legal advice over the last two years which helped me avoid two major conflicts. The great thing about Jonathan is he is honest and direct, he knows the right questions to ask and how to get to the root of things. His caution and thoughtfulness gave me a lot of relief when I ...was sorting out these issues. He has a keen eye for detail and is as respectful as he is professional. Please excuse me if I don't go into details about my case, but landlord and tenant disputes are frightening, my home was caught in the balance and he was generous with his time and advice. I saw a negative review of Jonathan on this site and was stunned. This seems like a case of mistaken identity, as the man I spoke to was always up front and honest about details, as well as creative about how to work within the law. He was always quick about getting back to me, generally within 24 hours of emailing or leaving a voice mail. Jonathan is the sort of man that fights for the little guy. That seems to be what he prides himself in doing and what makes him the happiest. I could tell that he doesn't really do it for the money; he is in law to make sure that those who have little power will not be abused.
