Jon Dessaules

If you ever have a problem with your HOA, it is a good idea to contact the Dessaules Law Group. I did and I'm glad I did. Thank you Jon Dessaules for helping us resolve our HOA problem.

V for Victory - Thanks to Jonathan Dessaules!

We hired Jonathan Dessaules to resolve an HOA issue. Jonathan won the case and we are the Prevailing Party as a result of his efforts and expertise. Jonathan was honest at all times, fair and professional. He was patient and thorough. Despite everything that was thrown at us by the HOA Board and the...ir attorneys, Jonathan remained steady, calm and handled the matter with honesty and integrity. He was positive that the truth would prevail and that we would win from the start. If you ever have a problem with an HOA, I strongly recommend hiring Jonathan. He is the best and nice too! And Jonathan's staff is also wonderful to work with. Thank you Dessaules team!

Would highly recommend !!!

I was referred to Jonathon thru the "Let Joe Know" campaign (ABC 15). I had a long, ongoing dispute with my HOA and it had gotten to the point where they were no longer willing to work with me. When I called Jonathan's office, the staff was efficient and set my appointment right away. When I met with... Jonathon he was caring and patient and listened to my story. Once he had all the info he asked additional questions to make sure he had heard what I said to him. He immediately went to work and was efficient and thorough with his investigations. I was impressed by his ability to sort through the many statements I had and determine that a lot of the charges were illegally DOUBLED!! He immediately started negotiations with the other party and was able to come to an agreement that I could handle. All I really wanted to do was to become "Compliant" with the HOA again and he made that happen! I would highly recommend Jonathan and his staff for any litigation needs that you might have.

Best Attorney Representing Homeowners in Phoenix

We hired Jonathan to deal with an HOA issue. He was honest from the start. He is direct. He is dedicated. He aims to achieve fairness and is ethical. He will listen to your concerns but at the same time provide honest feedback. If you want an attorney that will aim to achieve fair results in an hones...t manner then Jonathan is the attorney to hire. His staff is dedicated and friendly. He is also respectful of clients and the other attorneys. A rare find in Phoenix. Just when I lost hope that I would find a good honest attorney in Phoenix that I could trust, I found Jonathan Dessuales.

He listens to my concerns, addresses matters at hand, and I've never had to question his integrity. He's honest, friendly, pr...ofessional, and knows how to get the job done. I trust him with my family, friends, and clients and I will continue to use Jon's services and send referrals his way.

Lawsuits and disputes lawyer | Mar 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked with Jon 20 years ago at a large international firm where we were "in the trenches" together. He impressed me not only for his exceptional legal skills and intelligence, but for his charismatic personality and rare ability to "play well with others!" Over the years, Jon and I have remained good friends and I call on him first whenever I have an unusual legal issue I've never encountered. He always has the answer and is happy to share his knowledge and experience. Recently, he volunteered to work pro-bono with me defending a small nonprofit client against a malicious and unfounded counterclaim for fraud. He did so only because he was so offended by the claim and because the client lacked the resources to pay for a vigorous defense. He was instrumental in resolving the case. Jon is a gifted lawyer, a loyal friend and a good man with impeccable integrity. I endorse Jon without reservation."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
