Attorney John Jones = "Second to None" Family Law Expert!

If you are contemplating divorce, or in my case, I was unexpectantly served divorce papers....you MUST meet and retain John Jones. My divorce was the ugliest and most trying part of my life, and my estranged wife was unreasonable, unfaithful, and unethical, making the challenge that more difficult at... times. John sat me down in his office, allowing me to nutshell my marriage and how we had got to this point-he actually listened to me and within five minutes I knew I had come to the right place. He explained realistic expectations regarding custody of my children, financial obligations (support & alimony). He gave me a simple checklist of items he needed in order to draft an immediate and distinct counter-motion, which shifted my case into a high-powered offense, from an uncertain defensive stance. John always made himself available to me, and the ability to have two-way, real time communication proved invaluable, allowing us to keep momentum when countering occurred. John knows every aspect of family law, and his experience and negotiation skills, allowed us to WIN in and out of the courtroom. I won with custody, asset division, child support and alimony! If you are looking for the BEST possible family law attorney, look no further, your search ends here with John Jones!

Excellent Attorney

I was referred to Mr. Jones by another, successful Family Law Attorney in vegas who admittedly would not go in front of a particular judge stating, everyone hates her. He suggested I call Mr. Jones as he admitted having been successful in her courtroom. I was on the final leg of my proper person, S...upreme Court appeal of alimony and child support. By this time I had been divorced for two years, had been through two attorneys and was paying nearly $50k a year in alimony. With eight more years to go. I needed an attorney that could hit it out of the park and take this home. I met Mr. Jones the night before court! Talk about a leap of faith. After our consultation I knew he was the right attorney for the job; his knowledge of appeals, family law, alimony awards, his vocabulary, and overall demeanor convinced me he could finish the job. And that he did. One persuasive court appearance, one hell of a convincing argument and one month of agonizing waiting later, he cinched the deal. The judge literally stamped his submission as Order and today my alimony nightmare is over. Sure, the EX came back and attempted all sorts of desperate measures, but Mr. Jones told me not to worry and shot him down. And he hasn't been back since. It was a long and expensive journey, and if it weren't for Mr. Jones I doubt I would feel the relief and peace of mind I do each day. He's intelligent, logical, persuasive and was even praised by the judge for being an excellent writer. That he is. His legal assittent Cheryl is equally professional and attentive. I had copies of opposing counsel's submissions within hours of filing. I was asked for my input before publication on all documents and kept apprised of all matters. Mr. Jones is a professional, competent, honest attorney and capable of managing your family court matters, from Supreme Court Appeals to no-contest divorce. Meet him and you'll agree.

Compasionate and Professional

John Jones has been my attorney for over ten years. To say that he is a good attorney would be a tremendous understatement. He is a leader among professionals. I retained John to file my divorce appeal. My divorce had been botched by two prior attorneys. John immediately answered my questions and to...ok charge of the situation. My case was very complicated. It included a settlement for my portion of a business. His legal expertise and professional manor proved invaluable during the successful negotiations. Over the years he addressed many of my concerns such as childcare agreement enforcement, and child care expenses. John was compassionate and understanding. I felt as if he was a shield protecting me from all the aggression and vindictive behavior exhibited by my ex-husband. John also filed charges for nonpayment of court required payments toward my share of the business. All my questions and concerns were addressed immediately by him and his wonderful staff. He was successful collecting these payments. Recently, the business was sold. John was directly responsible for collection of my remaining portion of the business. During this whole process John responded to all my questions. Some responses were immediate in the form of a text. My decade long professional relationship with John is one of success and friendship. I would recommend him to anyone looking for possibly the most capable attorney in the city.
