Jonathan Michael Aven

Jonathan represented me for my first home purchase. He educated me all aspects of purchase very patiently. Once the transaction entered attorney review, Jonathan did a fantastic job negotiating with the other party and accepting only reasonable conditions. He also stayed on top of buyside mortgage co...mpany/officer so I had nothing to worry about but just show up at the time of closing. First time home purchase is a daunting process but working with Jonathan made it very easy. Would definitely work with him again on a real-estate deal.

I was a first time home buyer and was going through the process in the city of Chicago for a condo on the north side. Jonathan throughout the process kept me involved and responded quickly to email- which helped to make me feel at ease. The closing was so smooth and efficient! I was out of there in 4...5 minutes and he helped to keep it light-hearted but took the time to make sure I understand everything I was signing. I was really happy with my experience overall and would totally recommend him to anyone who is looking for a real estate attorney!

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.
