Thorough and exemplary professional!

I was having many issues with a tenant occupying an apartment. After reaching out to many resources, I was referred to Mr. Adler. I was very stressed with the situation the tenants had caused when I was able to get ahold of Mr. Adler. His experience and guidance on how to go about legal documents, tr...acking incidents, as well as suggested timelines were what granted me the confidence to proceed with mediation. The vast experience that Mr. Adler brought to this situation was positively impactful and helped appease both parties involved. The meetings were detailed, thorough, and on most occasions more than one viable solution was offered. If there were any doubts, I was always reminded that I could ask questions before making any decisions, this alone provided me the peace of mind to come to a resolution. It was because of Mr. Adler that I was able to go through mediation with confidence and achieved a better experience with the tenants. I highly recommend and am forever grateful for Mr. Adler's services, experience, professionalism and patience. Thank you.

He's a good human being, its rare you get to say that about an attorney.

Jon at one point was a fairly close personal friend after being an attorney for me. I have had to deal with a lot of attorneys, and most of them are ok at what they do. Some are fairly great. A lot of them are cold and moving like you are on an assembly line. This is not Jon. He actually cares an...d takes an interest in you as a person. If he doesn't know the answer he is honest with you and asks if he can get back to you on that. It humanizes the engagement. More over you can tell he takes pride in making it happen for other people and seems to go to great lengths to see other people successful, but does so in a very professional ethical way I genuinely miss our friendly banter. If you are considering working with him, I cant encourage it enough.

Managing Director

John was very helpful, prompt, professional, and I felt very comfortable working with him. He delivered in a timely manner and made sure he offered to any questions I may have had along the way.

Amazing Experience!

Jon was highly recommended to me and I now I know why. I used him twice, once to form my company and the second time to draft some contracts. He really spent the time to understand exactly what I wanted and educate me. Jon genuinely cares and even sent me a couple of leads and introductions to ...help my business. Whenever I reach out, Jon is extremely responsive and patient. I changed part of the contract on him several times and he acted like it was no big deal. In addition, Jon gave me a lot of extra time and legal advice just because he's a really nice guy that just wants to help. I never felt like he was trying to run up my bill and he was incredibly fair in his pricing. If you want to hire a lawyer who is genuinely out for your best interest and is very thorough and patient, I'd highly recommend you use Jon.

"have known attorney Adler for more than 5 years through his litigation work in the courts. Attorney Adler has a reputation for providing sound advice for resolving legal issues with a focus on getting his clients the compensation they have a right to. In one case I am familiar with he represented a family in a bad housing situation, negotiating against the other side's attorney to bring a very favorable monetary resolution to the case. For straight forward, practical advice, backed up with real experience to handle the case, Attorney Adler is an excellent choice."
