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!

Jonathan helped us with the closing of our Chicago residence. His assistance was excellent! He was always extremely quick to respond with very knowledgeable advice. I was very impressed at how he handled our complicated transaction. I would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home....

We hired Jon to represent us to close on both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new home. To make it difficult, we set both closings for the same day less than 5 weeks after signing the contracts. To top it all off, the seller on our new home decided not to hire an attorney and to do... the closing himself. Jon didn't miss a beat. He expertly coordinated with our agent and lender to make sure all conditions were timely met. He also went above and beyond to work with the unrepresented seller to make sure that he did everything that was necessary to meet our closing. In the end, we successfully closed both transactions on time with Jon's help. Even though I am a lawyer, I would not have been able to sell and buy these homes without Jon's expert assistance. He is a highly capable, professional and ethical attorney. My wife and I are very happy we hired him.

Jonathan helped us with two residential closings and combined two essential characteristics: Expertise - he had answers to our questions and provided solid guidance on the grey areas; and Responsiveness - he was always available for discussion and responded to emails right away. Ultimately, he ensu...red that our interests were protected through the transactions and that the transactions themselves came off smoothly.

Jon assisted my fiance and I with our first condo purchase in Chicago. We were very unseasoned and also had to adjust to several unexpected circumstances. Throughout, Jon was a true professional in his responsiveness and punctuality, along with his dedication to educating us time and time again. H...e was patient, knowledgeable and also had our best interest first.
