Divorce lawyer

Very prompt and reliable. Worked hard to win what I needed financially out of my divorce. Wish he had been tougher on my ex husband's lawyers at times but in the end I was happy with our results.

Family lawyer | Jul 16

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Jonathan was the opposing counsel in a case the had its twist and turns like any divorce case, but he and I were able to get to the bottom of things without getting sidelined by issues that would consume time, energy and clients' money. It was his very practical approach (aggressive at times) that made it possible to settle. He is very diligent and I unreservedly endorse Jonathan."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Jonathan and I were opposing counsel on a difficult and highly contested child-custody case. He was always well prepared, honest and straightforward. While he fought hard for his client, I could still rely on his word. His clients are lucky to have him as a lawyer."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
