Expert, effective, accessible, a pleasure to work with, you feel you are in good hands

This case was related to a traffic violation against me. Jonathan helped me understand the charges, the consequences of a guilty verdict, the chances for clearing the charges, he was knowledgeable, accessible, gave me the trust that I was in good hands. He went to court with me. The charges were d...ismissed.

Genuine, knowledgeable, trustworthy and dedicated to serving his clients. I highly recommend Jonathan.

Jonathan was referred by a mutual friend when I was suddenly presented with a subpoena and deposition notice. Jonathan was extremely responsive, getting back to me immediately offering to chat with me over the weekend if I was worried. He listened to my concerns and questions, laid out options, off...ered his advice and moved forward with the plan we discussed. He also took time and finances into consideration, always making the most efficient choices to keep me from having unnecessary expenses. While I was impressed by Jonathan’s knowledge, confidence and work ethic, they weren't surprising, as I would expect that from a talented professional; however, what really blew me away was Jonathan’s genuineness. He has the ability to connect with a client and provide a calming influence while solving their problems. While I hope I am never in another legal situation, if the occasion warranted, there is no one else I would go to first.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

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.
