Best Lawyer Ever!!

Omg where do I start! Mr Vaknin was heaven sent in a time when I didn't know what I was going to do, after a messy divorce I needed to file bankruptcy to get from under all the debt I was in. I was referred to Jonathan by Credit Karma, I was so confused and didn't know if I really wanted to go this r...oute after speaking with Jonathan I felt comfortable with my decision to move forward with filing bankruptcy. Jonathan was with me every step of the way no matter how many questions I had he had the answer and if he didn't he found the answer, he made me feel like I was more then a pay check he treated me like family and he was represented me like family,he fought for me as if he was fighting for himself. He was able to negotiate a personal loan that had an outrageous percentage rate of 33% down to 5% and the total owing balance from $8k to $2700, monthly payment from $300 per month for 3yrs to $150 per month for 18months. He wouldn't let me settle for nothing that wasn't in my best interest and for this I'm forever grateful. To make the decision to file bankruptcy was not easy but with Jonathan by my side to guide me made the experience much easier to deal with and accept. Thank you Jonathan for making a difference in my life and being more than just my lawyer but someone that supported me during a time when I needed to be supported.

Very good young lawyer

Attorney Jonathan Vaknin was personal, attentive and caring with our estate planning, creating trust, will and other documents we asked him for. We were inexperienced in this fields and his guidance was extremely important in the matter. He was thorough and patient with millions of questions we had. ...Thank you so much Jonathan!

Jonathan guided us through a very difficult time. When we had questions a while later he was still available to give us advice and provide us with valuable information.

Amazing Professionalism!

I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend Jonathan Vaknin as the best in the area of services that he provides! Mr. Vaknin responded to queries instantly, handled issues as they arose in a timely manner, and, was courteous and respectful at all times in all communications with me.

Responsive, Thorough, and Friendly

Jonathan is incredibly personable. My husband and I were recently doing our wills for the first time (as well as other complex estate planning documents), and my legal insurance was going to expire in a matter of days. I reached out to Jonathan to see if he would be able to accommodate my request to ...be put together in a matter of days. Within a few hours, I had a response from him and a list of questions that he would need to complete the request. Upon sending the paperwork back to him, he quickly put together our paperwork, scheduled an appointment for the following day, and continued to be available via email once the final documents were issued to us. Additionally, his office is housed in a very creative space, staffed by very friendly people. A strong recommendation for Jonathan from my husband and I!
