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.

Made a bad choice & needed help.

July 2015, I made a horrible decision and got behind the wheel of my vehicle after I had been drinking. I put peoples lives at risk and earned myself a DUI. In the following days after my arrest I was starting to panic because I did not know what to do or who to call to help me with the awful situat...ion I had created for myself. I miraculously stumbled across this site and the reviews for.Mr. Nona. I was hesitant at first to contact him, but did not have any other options. I was the BEST decision I have ever made. Mr. Nona and his WONDERFUL assistant Lisa Wilson took the reins and literally gave me my life back. It was not easy, but they were there every step of the way and made what seemed an impossible situation bearable and do-able. They were even able to help me get the option of a withheld judgment, which I am looking forward to. I definitely had to do my part, but with them on my side I was able to overcome the obstacles I had placed in my way and continue on with my life towards a positive future. For this, I am EXTREMELY GRATEFUL, thank you Lisa & Jeff. Thank you for helping me get past the horrible mistake I made and continue to be able to strive for a better, more positive future. If I ever find or put myself into a bad situation again, I would immediately hire them again, without hesitation. Sincerely with the utmost respect and admiration, HKD.

Jeff helped me through a difficult situation of my own making. He provided me with solid legal advice, a well-thought out strategy and also a dose of realty when I needed it. I would strongly recommend both Jeff and his very competent assistant Lisa if you find yourself in a similar predicament

Nona is worthy of five stars

I contacted his office based off of the reviews and they hold true! Nona deserves five stars. He is experienced, knowledgeable and a flat out non-bullshit kind of guy. If you're looking to be comforted and have your hand held throughout the process go with someone else. If you want to look at your le...gal trouble straight in the face and deal with it head on Nona is the guy. He is clear cut, sharp and won't try and fill you with fluff to get your business, but he will take care of business. Lisa, his paralegal is always available to answer any questions or concerns.
