Review Jonathan O'Steen

Highly Recommend

Posted by

I worked with attorney Jon O’Steen on a recent case. He was always on top of things and would respond to me in a timely manner. He got a great result in my case and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. More than the result, I felt like he truly cared and took time to address my concerns and explain the process in a way I understood. Knowing I had Jon in my corner fighting for me gave me great peace of mind and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch attorney. Thanks again Jon, you were fantastic!!

Impressed

Posted by

A member of our family was in a terrible automobile accident. After it became apparent that we would need legal help, we began consulting with attorneys. We chose to work with Jon O’Steen because he seemed to be the most knowledgeable about the specific complexities of our situation. As the case progressed, we were impressed with the way in which he handled our claim. Mr. O’Steen updated us every time there was new information and was patient with our endless barrage of questions. What I appreciated the most was that Mr. O’Steen made himself personally available to us within 24-48 hours of contact. In my experience, legal assistants are generally smart, capable professionals, however, sometimes a client needs to speak directly with their attorney. We were able to do that with Mr. O’Steen. In our search for legal help, we learned that this is not common. Mr. O’Steen was detail-oriented, strategic, communicative, experienced, well-respected by his peers (an asset to his clients), professional, honest (yes, honest) and I believe that he sincerely cares for the best interest and welfare of his clients. Based on what we understand of the industry, he is a rare find. I highly recommend working with Mr. O’Steen if you should ever need an attorney. You will not be disappointed.

Unprofessional

Posted by

I found him unprofessional in how he responded to me and it took extended time to get a response and many times you had to ask questions over and over to get an answer. He has technical knowledge but his communication, diligence and stsying on point for the client is very lacking. I had to stay on deadlines and manage my case. He told me information that I found untrue because it seemed he was staying informed with what was going on. What makes it worse us when I brought up my initial concern that turned into dissatisfaction and ultimately ending him representing me, he really didn't care. He seemed entitled and too busy. His responses usually ignored my unhappiness completely. I would not reccomend him unfortunately.

James Harrison, Personal injury Attorney on Jun 29, 2011
Relationship: Co-worker

Jon O'Steen brings energy and passion to the practice of law. I am sure his clients feel that energy as well, and they clearly benefit from it. He is more than willing to take a case to court, but his judgment is sound enough to know when litigation is ill-advised. An excellent lawyer.

Marc Snyder, Car accident Attorney on Jun 21, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Attorney O'Steen is among the top in his field in educating clients and potential clients of the importance of being "prepared for the worst" when it comes to automobile accidents. His guides on streamlining your auto insurance and accident checklist are must-reads if you are in his jurisdiction. People don't plan to fail, they fail to plan...The information provided by Jonathan on his site will help you plan for the best possible result, should the unfortunate happen to you.

Ward Rasmussen, Car accident Attorney on Jun 14, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter

Jonathan O'Steen is an extremely diligent and aggressive attorney who will not compromise his integrity in preparing the best case on behalf of his clients. He is exceptional in his research skills and preparation for the most effective cross examinations I have encountered.
