Great experience with Jonathan McConnell and his firm!

When I was seeking counsel I spoke with 15-20 law firms throughout the state and I felt hopeless. I was referred to Jonathan McConnell attorney at law so I had a consultation and finally felt like I found someone that believed me and would fight to the end for me. They were one of the few firms that ...actually got in touch with me when they said they would. I chose Jonathan to represent me and am glad I did. They were very organized and kept me up to date with everything going on. Jonathan and Taylor Dillehay were extremely knowledgeable and made sure I always understood what was going on. I was always treated well and felt cared about more than just a client. I wouldn't suggest anyone else and if you are looking for the best than Jonathan is the way to go!

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.
