OUR DAUGHTER WON!!

Several years ago, I found myself in an extremely contentious and stressful custody battle against a very controlling and over-bearing person. I retained John Jones to represent me. I explained to John it was in our Daughter's best interest to have equal access to, and time with, each paren...t (50/50 physical custody). My Daughter's Mother did not agree. Throughout the long and painful process -- during which I endured everything from personal attacks to fabricated stories of poor parenting to false allegations of domestic violence -- I was continuously concerned John was not addressing ALL the issues I felt he needed to address. I was incredibly frustrated and, at times, overwhelmed. However, John remained calm and demonstrated his depth of knowledge, vast experience, and exceptional grasp of litigation skill to accurately and concisely address those issues which were most important. Ultimately, John ensured the Court saw the truth and awarded each parent 50% physical and joint legal custody. Jon ensured our Daughter won!! A few years after this win, our Daughter's Mother brought a motion before the court in another state to, in essence, overthrow this ruling. She wanted to reduce my physical custody from 50% to 20% and to assume legal custody. Yesterday, after 5 days of trial spread over nearly 2 years, this new Court upheld the ruling John represented, fought for, and won on behalf of our Daughter. Our Daughter is nearly 10 and continues to be a happy, healthy, energetic, and a well adjusted young lady who excels academically, artistically, musically, and in sports... despite the fact her parents have challenges getting along. Had it not been for John ensuring the first and most crucial win in this long struggle, our Daughter would not have had such such a wonderful life nor as meaningful and rich relationships with both her parents and their extended families.

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!

A Trusted Advisor

John handled a case brought against me by my ex-wife of 5 years. Her case was to increase Allimony from its current level, due to an increase in my most recent income. Mr. Jones handled the case with the utmost of professionalism, and WON the defense outright. He is exceptionally knowledgeab...le and handles issues with great care. His defense was in short, 'stunning'. Yes, he is expensive, but the results and the integrity that he brings to the table make his fee worth it, in spades.
