Jonathan Baxter Lafrance

Attorney Jonathan la France did a great job defending me in a civil suit filed by my next-door neighbor in city of Malibu. As I was building my new ocean view home. The next neighbor filed a civil lawsuit to stop me from building my home. My neighbor felt that my house would block a small portion of ...his view. I had an approved set of plans stamp by the city of Malibu to build. The lawsuit was extraordinarily complex regarding lot lines, surveying, ancient landslides and lot line markers. Special surveyors had to be hired to be mitigate property lines. Mr La France and his team work extremely hard, day and night even weekends to get paperwork filed with the courts on time. Mr La France determination and attention to details resulted in the dismissal of the restraining order. This resulted in money saved and a brand-new home. Thanks Mr La France!!!

I hired Mr LaFrance to defend me in an "assault" case. I had gotten into a shouting/shoving situation and was arrested by the police. I was released OR and immediately contacted Mr LaFrance to help with my defense. He immediately went to work building our defense and after conferring with the plai...ntiff several times, we settled. Mr LaFrance was on top of the situation all the time, and I never felt that I had been abandoned. I was extremely satisfied with the work and concern put into this situation by Mr LaFrance and would definitely use im and any further legal matters I would run into

Our lawyer has brought our family back together ! We couldn't thank him enough for what he has done, and what he continues to still do. We have had a case going for a little over three years and Jon has walked with us from the beginning and now were starting to run together. From day one Jon told us ...we got to walk before we could run, and that has defiantly stuck with me the whole time ! I wish there was more that I could do to show you our appreciation, but all's we can do is show you that we appreciate you ! Thanks to the Ladies that have took phone call after phone call when I felt stressed out and felt like there was no way out ! I love you guys so much

Unfortunately, I am now going through a divorce and I came to Jonathan in need of desperate help as my husband has unlimited means. Not only has Jonathan won every battle so far but his creativity and passion will outwit all other attorneys. He never gives up and has a great deal of patience. In fami...ly law, it's critical to have an attorney that knows how to negotiate. Jonathan is not about dragging out a fight, but rather focuses on finding the solution. He is a man who is devoted to his clients and will take my call at anytime and will truly work all night if necessary to come out on top. He is scholarly, ethical and the most amazing attorney I have ever known. He gives family law attorneys a good name! He is the only reason why I can sleep at night, knowing my life is in good hands. I trust him and I recommend him 100%.

Jonathan Lafrance is an excellent lawyer. I was in a situation where I was wrongly convicted of a traffic citation because I arrived 10 minutes late to the court room for the trial. The judge decided to have the trial in my absence without affording me due process. He left the court room after all... the other trials were completed and he did not give me the opportunity to speak. I was informed by the bailiff and the clerk in the court room that there was nothing I could do, that I had missed my chance. I called Mr. Lafrance who was recommended to me by a friend. He immediately sprung into action and assured me that he would resolve the situation. He obtained all of the per tenant details from me and put together a motion that was very well written. He even worked with me late into the evening by phone, as time was of the essence. The motion had to be filed within a limited period of time. It was successfully filed, and the judge accepted the motion and allowed me to have another trial. The police officer once again appeared in court and I was found not guilty. Without Mr. Lafrance, I would have accepted the initial court ruling (assuming I had no other option), and would have found myself with a charge for a violation which I did not commit, as well as with a point added to my record. He was highly responsive to me and acted quickly and knowledgeably. He knew exactly what to do. I would highly recommend Jonathan Lafrance to anyone looking for a competent, knowledgeable, trustworthy lawyer.
