Truly A Magician!

After consulting with several attorneys and even being strung along until days before court and dumped like the nerdy guy at prom; Jonathan came to the rescue! Highly recommended by another well-respected attorney who was unable to take my case due to a conflict of interest; from the very first inter...action with Mr. Mandel you know you are in good hands! THE MOST fair and reasonable when it comes to price and very detailed and thorough in explaining his thought process and options available to you. I have needed Jonathan's help on 3 separate occasions now and each time he has exceeded my expectations and the outcome has been remarkable! He is very modest, down to earth, doesn't make empty promises and will always be straight with you. I have referred a handful of friends to him and will continue to do so. Everyone has been more than pleased to have Mr. Mandel represent them and I can assure you that you will feel the same.

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.

Excellent Trial Attorney and a Lifesaver

I had the pleasure of working with this excellent attorney in 2007. I was facing a possible life sentence and Jonathan Mandel worked very hard and aggressively to ensure that I received the best possible outcome for my case. He constantly came to visit and see me while I was incarcerated in the Los A...ngeles County Jail. He always gave me good honest advise so that I could make the best decisions for my case. He gave me realistic possible outcomes both good and bad for what I was facing. Needless to say we ended up going all the way to trial on the case and he persuaded the jury to find me not guilty on attempted murder and manslaughter. On the last count jury was hung and I was released that day from incarceration. Let me tell you this man is an EXCELLENT Trial Attorney bar none. Had it not been for Mr. Mandel's hard work my life would of been over. I can't express my appreciation and thanks enough for what you've done for me.

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.
