Jonathan James Kissel

I used Jonathan for a 2005 case. I had to pay his fee and put money in a trust to ensure victims were compensated if I lost. I fought this thing for three years, and one day he calls me to say it was over, it was done and going away. We go to court, I hear all of this legal speak, I hear the judge sa...y charges dropped, case dismissed and expunged, etc. The money I put in the trust was returned and I thought all was well. In September of 2024 I run an FBI background report. To say what I found was stunning is an understatement. On the FBI report there is this very case, with all charges dropped, except for three, serious charges, which he pleaded to without my knowledge or approval to get the rest dismissed. I fought this for three years and thought I was vindicated. Now I'm going back to the court to try and get this cleaned up and resolved once and for all.

I have retained Jonathan and his firm twice over the last few years to represent family members in matters that could have had serious consequences. On both matters, Jonathan came through for us. He gets the job done and has a great reputation with the court, which in return translate to favorable ...decisions from the court.

Regardless of how many good ratings this professional expertise lawyer gets on this website, he's known to be one of the best! He already has a good reputable credibility within the WHOLE San Fernando Valley courts. He is well liked, respected, professional, and honest. I was allegedly arrested f...or: " intent to sell marijuana" Cops illegally searched my vehicle without my consent... cops will be cops right? What cops found was 2 scales, (one broken) an ounce of weed and another container consumed with "weed trim" and took my "unlocked phone" for evidence. Jonathan kissel made an amazing effort and did not make any promises but believed he would get my case dismissed. In fact he did! For what I knew the cops did illegally, was my way out to win the case. The way he went about that was incredible. I Did not have to show up for court neither did he, all he had to do was call the clerk and took care of it just like that. Secondly, I never showed up for court AT ALL. Next conversation I had over the phone with him after my first court hearing was that my case was being dismissed. The facts speak for itself. Hire him, the money is worth the representation
