A True Advocate

Mr. Mandel was a true "counsel" for my rights. He had seen what was an abuse of a contractor providing mental health services for the state corrections and was crucial to my release. I believe he is a true believer in the justice system and its purpose; to rehabilitate and to protect the public. M...r. Mandel was fair in his pricing as I was unable to hire other attorneys, his empathy for my case being more a motivational factor as he had charged others in similar situations more. As an advocate his empathy let's him see your case through your eyes. As a lawyer he seeks equity in the law and his extensive experience allows for him to see all angles. And as a counselor he will always be by your side.

Mental Heath Case - Super Attorney to the RESCUE!!!!!

I hired Mr Mandel to represent my family member in a criminal/mental health case. He was being charged with a felony and a misdemeanor requiring registration. The case was being mismanaged by another attorney and going in a very bad direction before we found Mr Mandel. Jonathan stepped in, succes...sfully intervened and turned things around. Mr Mandel is a brilliant attorney!!! He is very well versed in mental health issues and criminal law. He was compassionate, supportive and very available to us throughout the process. Words can not express the depth of my respect, admiration and appreciation for this man!

Positive results

Mr Mandel stepped in after our case was handled poorly by another lawyer. He believed as we did that the crime accused was due only to the effects of a mental illness, and provided a plea withdrawal based on proof. I appreciate greatly his research as a mental health advocate and supporter for m...y case and other cases wrongly misjudged by the judicial system. Mr mandel was thorough and professional and fair in representation and result of the case.

Recommendation for Mr. Johnathan Mandel

Jonathan Mandel is an excellent lawyer. He really knows his practice. Mr. Mandel is an excellent communicator both with his clients and with the government officials. He immediately handled issues and returned all our worried correspondence regardless of when it was received. Watching him negotiate h...is client's best interests in the courtroom was very impressive! Ultimately with Mr. Mandel's perseverance and expertise our family member, who has unfortunately been challenged with a mental illness, responsible for his misconducts, received medical help he needed and the least possible punishment available in his case, as opposed to years in state penitentiary! We are truly grateful to Mr. Mandel's for this victory: he saved all our family members years of undue suffering.
