Jonathan A. Dessaules
Best attorney ever! I had a horrible experience with my hoa not releasing old liens and double billing during litigation. We went back and forth for 13 years until I hired Jonathan Dessaules as my hoa attorney within 2 months my liens were released and my ledger was zero. I highly recommend any is...

Where the “Good Guy” Finishes First.
From onset to resolution, Jon oversaw my case and stepped in as needed to mentor the team. Jon as a seasoned expert naturally gravitates to the heart of the matter and brilliantly deduces strategy or on-the-spot follow up questions within depositions and court proceedings. I certainly see Jon as th...

Honest and puts client first
Jon stepped in at literally the last minute after a miserable experience with another attorney. He pulled no punches, laid out the case as he saw it and the potentials for a jury, along with the potential coats to get me TO said jury. And while I would have won, the costs didn't bear it out for me. ...

Jonathan Adam Dessaules's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. He has demonstrated himself to be a dedicated and talented attorney in pursuing the causes of his clients."
"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."
"Jon is an excellent litigator and and client advocate, and a terrific boss and mentor."
"Jon is an excellent attorney with over 20 years of experience. He prioritizes finding solutions to difficult legal issues. Jon has a direct approach and a unique talent for taking a complicated case and breaking its issues down into simple components. He is dynamic and results-driven, which consistently helps his clients achieve successful outcomes. I would highly recommend Jon for any legal matter."
"Jon is one of the fiercest litigators I've met. He has extensive knowledge in several areas of the law and the ability to quickly become a master in new areas."
"An outstanding attorney. I wholeheartedly endore Jonathan Dessaules."
