Stop Looking and call Jonathan

I am in the legal industry and made some significant mistakes that could have really ruined me. Thank god I called Jonathan - I could write a novel, but I won't. He was amazing and humble and worth every penny. First and foremost, you need to trust your attorney, and second, they need to know their s...tuff. Jonathan has both of those hands down. Do yourself a favor if you need services and give him a call.

Post Conviction Relief for Immegration

My wife and I have tried 3 times for her green card and was rejected three times because of some trouble she was accused of before she spoke English. I asked another Lawyer is there anything we can do and she referred us to Jonathan Minkus. We meet with Jonathan and said he might be able to help us... but it would be difficult. Jonathan sure did what he said he could do. He had to fly to another state and negotiate our post conviction with prosecutors and judges he never meet before and 10 years after the false conviction that she was charged with. He worked a COMPLETE MIRICAL for my wife. With the change in Judgement that other Lawyers we hired over the years, who were never able to do anything but charge us money and she is now eligible for her Green Card. Thanks to Jonathon we can have a normal life without fears of deportation.

I had a very good experience working with Jonathan and he is a very kind person and very considerate. I would like to highly recommend someone that has same situation as me to go get help form Jonathan....

Old Conviction Vacated

I was referred to attorney Jonathan Minkus by my immigration attorney for a very old conviction from 2003. Mr. Minkus was able to get my conviction vacated very quickly. Mr. Minkus was very upfront with the process as well as with any of the fees associated. He is very well connected, and I highly re...commended his services. Thanks again Mr. Minkus.
