Excellent Representation

Attorney Jonathan Apgar is the epitome of class, intellect, respect, and kindness. He will work hard to represent you with the utmost honesty. I trust him and will highly recommend his firm to anyone who needs his expertise. My case was dismissed and the payment was very affordable. Also, the commun...ication was excellent. He is your man! Do not hesitate to reach him. Thank you, again.

Expert Representation. Exceptional Results!!

Jonathan personally handled my case from start to finish, and his unwavering commitment and expertise made all the difference. He took the time to understand every detail, kept me informed at every turn, and delivered an outcome better than I could have hoped for. I was lucky to find an attorney w...ho is not only is fair about their fees, but also combines exceptional skill with a hands-on, client-focused approach. If you’re looking for someone who will personally champion your case with precision and care, Jonathan is the one. I cannot recommend him highly enough! Yeah, I almost forgot... case will be DISMISSED!!!!

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.
