I highly recommend Jonathan Merel law office. Divorce is a stressful and emotional time of life and you need great attorneys to support and to help you navigate through this storm. I have a complicated case that went through GAL and evaluation process, difficult opposing counsel, and a long process o...ver 3 years (partially due to pandemic delay). During this period, I’ve been working closely with Jonathan Merel and David Zwaska. They are fast in response (usually within hours and even over weekends for urgent issues), explain legal matters and procedure in simple terms for me to understand, detail orientated in each circumstance and accurate in financial calculation, bring crystal clarity and bold solutions to complicated matters. While Jonathan takes leadership, oversees and brings goal and visions to the case, David Zwaska works directly with me on routine basis, and both of them are great attorneys that are capable of presenting each issue in logical manner in court and fighting for our best interests and rights. And in my opinion, all these qualities have differentiated Jonathan and David as great attorneys from good attorneys. Now, the divorce is vanishing in my rear view mirror as I am moving into the next chapter of my life, I will definitely go back to Jonathan's office for any future legal assistance.

I had initial consults with three other attorneys before my initial consult with Jonathan. I have decided to work with Jonathan because, in our initial meeting, he was very professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and he explained the process very clearly answering all my questions satisfactorily. ...Looking back now, I have made the correct decision to work with Jonathan in this dissolution of marriage case. Having Jonathan on my side was the pleasant part of this unpleasant process. During the whole process, Jonathan was always very professional and very responsive, Jonathan is excellent about returning texts (to his cell phone), emails and phone calls. He responded promptly to texts, emails and phone calls. He was always available when I needed him and always offered great legal advice. More importantly, he is very professional, well prepared, supportive, and looks at the long term benefit of the client and the children. I was impressed by his knowledge, his patience, and his experience. At the end, the dissolution of marriage resulted with a nice settlement. I am very satisfied with the services of Jonathan. Everyone in the Law Offices of Jonathan Merel was very helpful, organized, and professional. I was also very fortunate to have Aurelija Fitzpatrick, Jonathan’s Associate, working on my case together with Jonathan. She too is very knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. I highly recommend Jonathan and the Law Offices of Jonathan Merel to anyone in need of legal services. Thanks.

Your avvo review: My divorce case was not technically difficult, but I needed help immediately and Jonathan Merel and his associate Brad Kaye were able to leap in and help me with custody issues right away. Both men were aware my divorce was very difficult for me emotionally and their professional...ism didn't just extend to legal analysis and representation; they also encouraged me and helped me through an awful period of my life, carefully explaining what was going on all the time. Jonathan was always prompt about getting back in touch with me when issues arose. And while Jonathan and Brad are both smart and affable, they were also dogged in defending my interests. Once, in court, faced with opposing counsel mocking me directly, Brad responded aggressively in my defense — something that deeply impressed me, and for which I am still very grateful. Additionally, I quickly came to prize Jonathan's astute legal analysis and vision for where he wanted my case to go. I'd highly recommend The Law Offices of Jonathan Merel to those looking for competent, kind, and candid divorce attorneys. They know the law. They helped me get a result I can live with and which is helping me move on with my life. And, maybe more importantly, it's clear they actually give a damn about their clients. That last bit is worth its weight in gold.

Jonathan Merel was referred to me by a friend of my Mother who had recently gotten divorced. Prior to calling him I was unsure of what steps to take and what to expect. Jonathan showed immediate concern for both myself and my children. He talked me through all of my silly questions as well as questi...ons with merit without making me uncomfortable and promised that he would always be available to me when I needed him. Though I was skeptical at first, Jonathan always answered his phone and gave me his honest opinion as both my lawyer and as a father. I felt that Jonathan gave me a very personal experience in that he made me feel that my case was his only priority. In my case, I had been the one to make the decision to separate and divorce and only wanted to make sure that my children would both have everything they needed, what ever the cost, and also that they would not be dragged into a situation messier than a divorce already is. Jonathan always gave me the best advice to make sure that while I was taking care of my children I would still be able to take care of myself. Though my Ex's attorney was more than willing to wait until the last minute to make changes to language in the MSA and disagree with language that we had face to face meetings to discuss, Jonathan always contacted me immediately, was prompt in his responses and showed me that he truly cared about my case no matter how difficult and challenging my case became. In closing, I feel that I made the right choice in picking Jonathan and Merel Family Law to represent me. I had always assumed that my case would be just another job to whomever represented me but Jonathan made me feel that he cared about my case, about the well being of my children and cared about my well being after the divorce. I would recommend him and his firm to anyone looking to be treated fairly and truthfully while having their best interests at the fore front of the case.
