Jonathan Michael Aven

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.

If you're looking for top-notch service, look no further. Jonathan was able to help me with questions and some tough situations I encountered through my recent purchase. I received very prompt replies to correspondence even at early/late hours. Beyond guiding me through the entire process where neces...sary, he was able to quickly handle any urgent requests that popped up. If you value experience, knowledge, professionalism, and attentiveness, Jonathan is your man.

Working with Jonathan was an exceptional experience. His communication skills are second to none and he always had time for us. I never felt rushed or that I was asking too much. Our condo has an outstanding special assessment that Jonathan was able to help us negotiate an escrow account to assist... in the payment of. As a first time buyer a property purchase is obviously a stressful process, but I'm so grateful to Jonathan for making us feel at ease. His support during closing was wonderful and he has the ability to cover all the key information in a supportive, yet light hearted way. I would highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking to establish a relationship with an attorney they can truly trust.

I have used Jonathan 4 times. He is the only lawyer I will use for real estate. His best attribute is the ability to get his client through a tough situation. He clearly explains the problem, gives advice, and effectively manages the other lawyer and real estate agents to help close the deal. Respons...iveness is his next best attribute. Every email is responded to in a matter of minutes, paperwork is drawn up quickly, and he picks up every phone call.

The best attorney I have ever worked with! Jonathan Aven provided clear, straightforward instructions to prepare for closing. He was readily accessible by both e-mail and phone, responding to questions and concerns very promptly, even before and after normal working hours. He provided helpful guid...ance in dealing with a sometimes difficult prospective buyer. The cost of his services was more than reasonable. I recommend him most highly!
