An Anointed Attorney

I promise my words cannot convey the gratitude my family and I have for this anointed attorney, Jonathan Wharton! We had been cheated by and lost a lot of money due to a horrible contractor and an even worse attorney. I had almost given up. I felt like evil was winning, and I felt like I had failed m...y family. With very little faith, I called a successful attorney office my friend had suggested. That law firm told me that they did not practice that type of law, so they referred me to Jonathan Wharton. The first time I talked to him, he was finishing my sentences. I had been explaining my cry so much, it was refreshing to talk to someone who not only understood where I was coming from, but could state the law to combat the problem with the first conversation. Wharton addressed the “terrible” attorney with knowledge, skill set, and a command that she went days without a response. Then when she did respond, he met her with case law that shut her up! I felt like a kid saying, “My dad is stronger than your dad!” I had not felt this good in two years since the saga began. I found the strength to clean my apartment better, be truly present with my children, I laughed, and then I cried an ugly cry of gratitude. The relief I felt was God sent. The prayers I prayed, and for a stranger to come in and help us when those who I thought I could trust cheated us, helped me learn what trust looks like. I am sure I am going off on a tangent, but the contractor who built my house poorly and did not complete it is a preacher. The horrible attorney I hired was someone I knew from the small town where I graduated. Both failed me significantly. They knew that my husband had just died before our building the house and they knew that I had a child with special needs. Therefore, you would think they would lead with integrity. To this day, I have not physically met Jonathan. I tried him with the little faith I had left, and he led us out of a dark place with his skill set, knowledge, and a true calling for the job. If you want an attorney you can TRUST, who possess the understanding and follow through you expect from a “great” attorney, that is Jonathan Wharton. He responds quickly and effectively. Now, he is our first call for any legal solution because we know that he can handle the problem!

Jonathan Wharton, Atty.

Mr. Wharton represented me with a property issue. Where other lawyers recommended bankruptcy Jonathan used his legal expertise to gain a ruling in my favor. Good lawyers are hard to come by. Mr. Wharton is one of the good ones.
