Jonathan B. LaFrance is simply extraordinary!

Jonathan B. LaFrance is simply extraordinary! Words can’t fully capture how much he’s done for our family. He didn’t just handle our case—he gave us hope, strength, and ultimately brought us back together. For over three years, Jon has been by our side, guiding us every step of the way. From the s...tart, he told us, “We have to walk before we can run,” and that wisdom has carried us through this entire journey. Now, thanks to his dedication, we’re finally running—and it’s all because of him. I also want to shout out his amazing team. To the wonderful ladies who patiently answered my countless calls during moments of stress and uncertainty, thank you for your kindness and support. You’re all incredible, and your compassion never went unnoticed. Jon, we appreciate you more than words can say. You’ve done more than just represent us—you’ve changed our lives. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

If you want to win your case hands down, you won't find a better attorney.

I have worked with Jonathan Lafrance 2 times in regards to post divorce issues. In both instances Jonathan showed that he knows the law and court system extremely well. He prepared my cases in depth including being prepared with alternative arguments if needed. My hearings were decided in my favor... in both situations. Jonathan is excellent at examining your issues from all perspectives while still remaining open to your opinions and needs. If you want to win your case hands down, you won't find a better attorney.

Thanks Law office of Jon B. LaFrance. “Take a Chance with Jon B. LaFrance”

Jonathan Lafrance handled my custody case with complete support and true compassion. He made an extremely difficult time for me so much easier to deal with.

Unscrupulous

This man has been stalking me and my daughters through the family court system representing a mentally unstable narcissist for over 15 years now. He has yelled at me and my daughter. He is verbally abusive and a flat out liar. My ex assaulted me in a car and was driving erratically and a good Samarit...an called the police on him. I obtained a TRO but Jonathan representing my ex went in after I got one and obtained one gaining full custody of my then nine-year-old girls. Jonathan and my ex sent the police to our home and my children would not go with them. Jonathan called an amber alert and had a three ring circus in front of my home disrupting our neighbors peace and traumatizing my girls. I got them back but I had to wait three weeks till we got into court. Absolutely traumatizing. He will abuse your children and he will take advantage of you in an emotional situation while using the narcissist who is all too willing to blow all of the family money by playing a psychological game with children’s lives. Fast forward my sick ex-husband had our daughter arrested one week after she turned 18. Jonathan la france accused her of stabbing her sister which was a flat out lie and now she has an assault with a deadly weapon on her record. He is a sick man who will do anything for money. He shows up to court completely unpolished with a bleached out mullet. He will tell you himself that he is a hillbilly from Florida. I don’t mind hillbillies but I have zero tolerance for a dirty lowdown hungry lawyer. Especially one who engages and encourages mentally unstable vindictive spouses and fathers.

Jonathan is an exceptional lawyer who exceeded my expectations!

Jonathan is an exceptional lawyer who exceeded my expectations! He knows how to make his clients feel confident and secure. Facing a court hearing can be very stressful, right? Jonathan eased my worries from the start. Jonathan’s qualities are priceless and rare in today’s world, where many people ar...e impatient and selfish. He stands out from other Attorneys At Law because he always delivers on his promise to do his best for his clients. Jonathan was the key factor for my legal matters being dismissed. Thanks to him, I have nothing but smooth sailing ahead for many years to come!
