Impressed

Jonathan is a very unique lawyer, though in the very best way. He seemed to care truly and genuinely for our family, and did everything possible to give our son (his client) the best outcome. Speaking from a an emotional standpoint, he always put our needs alongside the needs of our son. That is, Jon...athan cared just as much about making sure our family and home was safe from the violent tendencies of our son, and fought with equal concern towards getting him reasonable settlement and finding the best alternatives to prison time that the judge would agree to. He pushed for the best treatment centers and even came along with us to check one of them out. He seemed to be honestly concerned for our son's welfare, just as much as he was concerned about the fragile state of our family. In a way, Jonathan became a friend and a confidante. It is with grace and humor that he pulled our family through some difficult times, and for that we cannot say enough good things about him.

Excellent Lawyer

I recommend Jonathan Mandel to anyone in need of a good defense attorney. He is knowledgeable and is able to see the larger perspective and negotiate the best deal. He keeps you informed and does his research to the best of his ability. He presents himself with confidence and knows how to interact... with the judge. He helped me in my case and I greatly appreciate his effort and professional skills. He is an amazing lawyer.

knowledge person

Look, Mandel is a very smart person and can and will get the job done. I was so impressed with how knowledgeable he was in various area. He really knows the law and he loves what he does. He spent hours with my family and other people he needed to talk to concerning the case. He's one you need o...n your side when you go into that court room. I'm home and I thank God for allowing Mr Mandel to defend me

Jonathan Mandel- One of a kind

Jonathan Mandel is one of a kind. The way that he handled our family's situation was remarkable. He was always available to us by phone, e-mail & even came to our homes on occasion. He showed his genuine care for our family & did everything in his power to help us. We confided in him & trusted him fr...om the start. His reputation preceded him & we knew we had found the right lawyer for our family's needs in Jonathan Mandel. With deep & sincere gratitude, we thank you Jonathan for all that you have done for us. Most importantly, we appreciated the fact that he drove 200 miles from Los Angeles to the city of Hanford to represent our family in trial. This 200 mile trip & great effort won our case & resulted in our family member's freedom!! Victory was ours thanks to Jonathan Mandel.

Jonathan Is A Professional That Will Get The Job Done

I was charged with three felony charges back in June of 2011. I was referred to Jonathan by a friend that had recently been put through the court systems. After checking multiple sources including other lawyers and defendants that Jonathan has worked with, I decided to have him represent me. I have... never had to deal with a criminal defense situation before. It is difficult to comprehend what you are going to go through with court if you haven’t done it before. The possibility of serving years in jail can really screw with your head. Fortunately, I had Jonathan to put me at ease and provide me with multiple strategies and different options before going to trial. Jonathan is trustworthy, reliable and most importantly, made me feel confident in the court room. After months of being in the San Fernando Court system, Jonathan got me a plea offer that I couldn’t pass up; 30 days community service and 1 felony that will be reduced to a misdemeanor in the next couple months. He knows his way around the courtroom, communicates well and is punctual. I highly recommend Jonathan!
