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.

Five Stars are not enough for Jonathan!

I am now on my second case with Jonathan Dessaules. The first case was an administrative hearing for an HOA dispute. We had planned on representing ourselves, but are we ever glad we did not. Jonathan ensured our win, and I can't imagine what that hearing would have been like without him. Through...out the process, I was impressed with how promptly he answered all our calls and emails. I found him to be personable, genuinely concerned for our plight, and he went the extra mile by attending one of the association open meetings without charge, and even met with us on a Saturday morning to answer a few questions. I would refer anyone to him with the confidence that they would be very glad to have him on their side of the table. Thanks, again, Jonathan for all you did and are doing for us. I will post again when we resolve the current issue.

Bulldog, Compassionate, Knowledgeable, Client comes first

Bulldog, compassionate, considerate, all about what is best for the client. What else can I say about Jonathan? In a most contentious, long and drawn out series of law suits and counters, Jonathan stuck by our side, was available 24/7. I couldn't believe when we'd get responses to our inquiries at... 7 AM (He does early morning Starbucks.). He outsmarted a very large group of attorneys and bested them all on our behalf. He knew when to say stop and always, always considered my husband and I, the stress we were going through, what was the best outcome for us, not for him. We were very fortunate to be referred to him and blessed that he saw merit in our case. If Jonathan takes your case, he is in it to win for you.

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.
