Jonathan Michael Aven

As fist-time home buyers, we would highly recommend Jonathan. He made the process a breeze. He was professional, thorough, extremely knowledgable, and took the time to explain anything we didn't understand. He is also extremely responsive. Every email we sent (which were many!) was responded to in... 5-10 minutes, which is beyond incredible! At closing, Jonathan was again very thorough and explained every piece of paperwork. If you're a fist-time home buyer, or a repeat buyer/seller and looking for a new attorney, you won't be disappointed with Jonathan. We'll definitely be using him again in the future!

We recently purchased a condo and getting to closing with lender was an extremely stressful process. Jonathan helped facilitate the purchase and closing timeline and put our minds at ease when we really thought it was not going to happen. He is a complete professional and gives you assurance during t...he closing process that all aspects have been taken care of. I would recommend him without reservation due to his experience particularly with current lending trends which have proved problematic for us, he got us there.

Jonathan was incredibly helpful with my short-sale. I had obtained the services of another attorney during a previous attempt and they really never pushed the bank to cooperate. As such, that short-sale fell through dramatically. But with Jonathan's assistance during a second short-sale attempt, he p...ressed the bank to stay on task, to negotiate and even obtained two extensions from my lender (who was playing hardball with us). He is a shark in the best meaning of the term, as in a shark for his clients. He was tenacious, determined and dogged; consistently giving me honest advice and pressing the bank to keep at the negotiating table. Never once did I get that "lawyer feeling": what is he really doing and did I make a bad call hiring him. Instead, I felt confident, informed and represented.
