Jonathan Michael Aven

Jonathan was the Real estate lawyer for the purchase of our new home. His substantial experience was clear during document review: I felt confident that he represented our interests. Jonathan stood out in two ways, in particular, from our prior experiences with other Real estate lawyers. Our quest...ions and concerns were addressed immediately, even at odd hours, and he was very comfortable communicating over email, which is my preference. The other thing that made Jonathan exceptional was at closing: He kept the procedure lighthearted and he was very efficient. Illinois closings are notoriously long, and we got out of there in 45 minutes.

Jonathan assisted us with the purchase of a condo in Chicago. He was highly recommended by our realtor and by our son, who worked with Jonathan previously. Jonathan proved to be very responsive and efficient, starting with the the thorough, but clear, language in his engagement letter. In terms of c...ommunication and the exchange of pre-closing documentation, Jonathan went out of his way to make it easy for us. The closing process could not have been easier. I would certainly use Jonathan again, for buying or selling residential property, and would recommend him to friends or family for similar transactions.
