Recommendation
Several years ago, we were looking for an attorney to update our wills and other legal documents. Everything was completed to our satisfaction. We've since returned to Jon to address an estate as well as several Trusts. He's always listened to our needs and concerns, provided fantastic advice, alternatives and complete documentation in a timely manner. We would highly recommend Jon Daugharthy for any of your legal needs without reservation.

Wonderful Experience
My sister and I were looking for a attorney to help us settle our parents' estate. After some recommendations, we interviewed Jon Daugharthy. We immediately felt at ease and comfortable with him. He worked on our case right away with excellent results. He even gave us the option of doing some of the legwork ourselves to save some money. Throughout the entire process, Jon kept us informed, and was responsive to our questions ad concerns. He was fair with his pricing and billed us in a accommodating manner. I have worked with many attorneys over the yeas and have never felt so comfortable and cared about as with Jon.

Meticulous work pays off for non-profit
Jon Daugharthy is our attorney for a nationally recognized foundation that works with elected officials across the United States. His meticulous work allowed our application to the IRS to become a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible organization to not only be approved by the IRS, but was approved in LESS THAN 90 DAYS. Jon helped a group of elected officials and board of directors understand the difference between the various classes of non-profit organizations, the laws that apply to each, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Jon will continue to have our respect and gratitude as we move forward with him with any of our legal needs. Jon's work ethic, professionalism, and character is simply the best we have seen. If you are a non-profit that needs help maneuvering through the government's bureaucratic nightmare, Jon is the ideal attorney for the job.

Estate Planning - Great Experience
My wife and I were slightly apprehensive about jumping into estate planning for the first time. We were introduced to Jon, and he made it a breeze. He is very personable, prompt, and professional. Jon took time to listen to all of our concerns and questions prior to guiding us in making decisions for our will and power of attorney documents. He was and is readily accessible by phone or email. His flat-rate fee for estate planning was very reasonable. Overall, I highly recommend Jon to others.

Amazing Attorney!!!
Jon handled the probate court case for my father's estate, and I was very happy with his work. He was very knowledgeable and thorough. He was friendly and always responded very quickly and took the time to explain everything to me and my siblings and answer our questions. I would definitely recommend him!

Jon C. Daugharthy recommendation
Jon is an extremely knowledgeable, detail oriented, and a personable attorney. His manner immediately put me at ease in an environment of confidentiality, trust, and respect. He knew what questions to ask in order to help me find the answers I was searching for, but didn't know how to verbalize. He took as much time as I needed to fully understand the legal components of the documents he was preparing for me. I have full confidence in Jon's ability and good judgement.

Amazing, professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him!
Jon got back to me right away, and was able to meet with us quickly. He worked with our schedule and was fine with bringing my newborn to the meeting. We asked tons of questions and he patiently answered all of them, looked them up when needed, and went the extra mile to help us. I am extremely pleased with our meeting, he answered ALL the questions I had and would recommend it to anyone.

Application for 501(c)3
Mr. Daugharthy was recommended to me from a friend when we started working on the application for our ministry to file as a tax exempt not-for-profit. Working with him was great, he did a wonderful job of getting to know exactly what our ministry was about and where our hearts were at, a very important aspect when filing with the IRS. Mr. Daugharthy did a great job putting together all of our required paperwork and did an incredible job on the application. After filing the application I was expecting to have to go back and forth with the IRS several times before getting our approval but Mr. Daugharthy did such a great job that our application was approved on the first submission. I highly recommend his services!

Review of end-of-life documents preparation
Jon is the kind of attorney who is accessible, knowledgeable, understandable, patient and thorough. His fees are reasonable, and the turnaround was on schedule. He is very good at explaining legalese, and we would certainly recommend him to anyone without any hesitation. He prepared end-of-life/estate documents for us, answered all our questions and led us through the process carefully.

Great service!!!!!!!
Mr. Daugharthy is an excellent listener, knowlegeble and real. We need more attorneys like him. I have known Jon for about six months now and I feel like I've known him forever, that's how Jon is. You are always welcome in his office and believe me, he will not make you feel rushed to leave. Now that is a hell of an attorney. I will go back to Jon any time. Thanks so very much Jon for everything.

Highly recommended attorney
Jon assisted me with updating my powers of attorney and living wills. I contacted him via email and received a response the same day; all communication was prompt. He was accommodating about my schedule and even came to my office for the final signings. He explained the documents and kept me informed throughout the process. He was professional and knowledgeable, and although the topic wasn't upbeat, he was fun to work with. I appreciate his assistance and have recommended his service to others. Thanks Jon!

Very knowledgeable, friendly and considerate
My case was quite complicated. Jon had to do considerable amount of research, and took his time to explain all the regulations very clearly to me. He was friendly and always returned my calls and e-mails. He is very professional. He did not take any fees for my consultation. I was surprised, he said i did not have a case yet. I would definitely go back to him again if i have any legal issue in the future. I highly recommend him

Jon Daugharthy
I have been very pleased with the work of Jon Daugharthy. He is very friendly,he always makes me feel welcome in his office. He is very responsive, every time I've left a phone message or emailed him, he has always gotten back to me within a reasonable time frame. He is also very thorough, I felt like in our initial visit he asked many questions that were appropriate to helping the case. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer, and I will hire him again if I ever need a lawyer again.

Exceptional service
Jon truly went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, ranging from his legal expertise to his willingness to meet on our time and locality restrictions due to our on-call job responsibilities. When selecting an Attorney, my spouse and I both agreed Jon would be a perfect match for us. His age better fit us in terms of understanding protection and support aspects of young dependents. Jon is extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable. In addition to Jon becoming our Attorney, he has also become our friend. Thank you Jon for securing our responsibilities both as parents and spouses; an invaluable peace of mind.
