Jon's advise and counsel on matrimonial and divorce issues and our discussions in general about issues involving the representation of clients has been very helpful. I do not practice in those areas but issues of that nature occasionally come into play in the matters I do handle and his counsel has enabled me to advise clients and others in turn and assist in decision making in my practice. Jon is among the most knowledgeable attorneys I know in the field.

He is a "go to" guy for entertainment matters and a skilled family court advocate. I admire and respect Jon, both as a person and a lawyer, and recommend him to anyone in need of high caliber legal representation.
