Exceptional Service and Piece of Mind

Jeff is excellent to have on your side. He has an incredible understanding of the process and the law. Unfortunately in my case, there wasn't much to argue, but just having someone experience to work through the legal aspects of my case was a huge benefit and load off my mind.

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.

We overcame huge legal obstacles and won my difficult case

Jeff Nona and his Legal Secretary, Lisa Wilson, went above and beyond the average practices of what is expected of an attorney. His forthright assertive actions and court performances gave me hope but kept me in touch with the reality of my situation. In the end of a long process, which Jeff and Lisa... stuck by me, we overcame huge legal obstacles and won my difficult case. His fees were beyond fair and I would recommend his office to any person who is seeking sound counsel.
