Recommend lawyer

Jefferey was a good lawyer. He really helped me out a lot was able answer all my questions was able to speak to the judge in a way I couldn’t. Leslie was a huge help too whenever I called they were quick to answer me back or answered me at the time I called, which I called a lot. They were very go...od at telling me the truth and speaking to me as if I were an equal, made me feel comfortable and assured me that I would be ok. At which they delivered what they said and I was alright. Thank you two at Nona law.

If Jeff and Lisa are not the best, I sure don't know who is!!

The only good thing that happened to me the night I got my DUI, (and undoubtedly the most important) is that a very nice bail bondswoman recommended Jeff!!! He made all the difference in my case, and I REALLY believe that he went above and beyond in representing me! Obviously I have not worked with... every attorney in town, but IMO you will be very hard pressed to find a more competent, skilled, and respected attorney to handle a DUI case. He and Lisa are very proactive, communicate very well, and stay on top of everything. They listen to you, and explain everything in great detail. They even answer their phones, and return calls or emails...! Jeff seems to have the respect of the "establishment", meaning the prosecutors, judges, etc... When he makes a recommendation or asks for something from the court, they take him seriously, and he has a great chance of obtaining the desired result. To say that I'm not even the slightest bit happy about getting myself a DUI is a gigantic understatement!!! But I'm very happy that I chose Jeff and Lisa to help me sort out the mess!

Retaining Highly Qualified And Competent Legal Counsel Is A No Brainer!

Shopping for bargain representation and hiring the wrong attorney can be a very costly mistake. I have learned that lesson the hard way. Not only does your attorney need to knowledgeable and skillful, but from my experience, must be admired and respected by his peers. If the judges and prosecutors... don't respect your counsel, the outcome of your case will most certainly reflect that. That's not speculation, that's a FACT! Jeff Nona is HIGHLY respected and admired by his peers and the legal community at large. He is not a newcomer in this arena. Because he is fair on all accounts, Jeff can generally negotiate an outcome that is fair and acceptable to all parties. The thing I like best about Jeff is that he is direct and to the point. He won't "Blue Sky" the issue and is direct and to the point. Jeff is a no B.S. kind of guy and gets the job done. He also has a paralegal, Lisa, that is a rock star in her own field and doesn't let things "slip through the cracks" which is really important when your freedom and rights are on the line. Jeff and Lisa are a really good team. I highly recommend Jeff to all my friends and family and have retained his services numerous times over the past 10 years for myself and family members. Always with a successful outcome.

OUTSTANDING!!!

Jeff was very honest and to the point. Most lawyers sugar coat, not this guy:) Thanks for the outstanding effort to you and of course LISA. Lisa was very pleasant to work with and works very hard to ensure all maters handed down by Jeff and the client are handled efficiently and accurately.. Bonu...s Time!.
