Great work on a property settlement!

Our lender wasn't particularly good at providing timely or accurate cash-at-settlement numbers. And our Realtor gave vague, roundabout answers to pretty specific questions. Jonathan was excellent in both areas, answering questions promptly and in plain English, and reviewing with us a week before c...losing a settlement sheet that was mostly accurate (understanding that anything can change in the last few days leading up to closing).

Excellent representation

Jonathan was hired to handle our transaction to purchase a condominium in Evanston. We were highly satisfied with his work, prompt and clear communication, great attention to detail, extremely trustworthy in terms of billing. My background is in the law, so I'm not easily satisfied either, as a conse...quence. Highly recommended.

Doesn't get any better

I hired Jon to be my attorney for the purchase of my first house. Being new to the process and overwhelmed with documents, Jon went above and beyond to clearly explain and help me understand what was going on and what my options were. Not only was he pleasant to work with, but I could tell that he ...was very knowledgeable and had a lot of experience by his professional manner and his thorough explanations throughout the whole process. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

Well Prepared!

Jonathan recently handled a closing for me and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. From day one he outlined the process and what would have to be done by all parties involved. With this extra effort on his part there were no last minute requests and no panic situations.

Outstanding Experience

I just recently purchased a house, and worked closely with Jonathan on the purchase. My experience with Jonathan was second to none, as each step was extremely seamless. He sat with me for 2+ hours at the closing, and explained each line item thoroughly as well. A+++ experience... Would recommend ...to anyone!

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
