Couldn’t have asked for more!

What a great experience I had working with Jonathan Vaknin on my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. He is professional, attentive and very thorough. His experience and knowledge shows in all aspects of what he does. He really knows the law and what he is doing but what sets him apart is his warmth and understandi...ng of his clients needs. I believe that anything needing an attorney can be stressful but he walked me through each step and made me feel supported the whole way through. He explained every detail and was extremely patient. His pricing was very reasonable especially for the time and attention that he gave to me and my case. I didn’t think that I would ever say that I would trust an attorney like “family” however in the case of Jonathan Vaknin I definitely do!

Very professional, personable, and attentivie

I hired Jonathan Vaknin for the filing of my ch. 7 bankruptcy. At the onset, mr. Vaknin did a great job of clearly explaining the entire process to me, and through each step he provided simple and clear instruction of what was needed from me for him to complete the filing. Mr. Vaknin was very easy to... reach whenever I had a question or needed clarification. I own a corporation so in order to list all of my assets, a good number of documents pertaining to my business were needed to be included. Despite the added complexity that this added, at the meeting of creditors, the trustee appeared to be very impressed with how organized and detailed our filings were. I already held mr. Vaknin in high regard and the interaction with the trustee only served to reinforced my opinion. Filing for bankruptcy is quite scary, but I felt calmed and reassured both by mr. Vaknin's professional ability as well as his demeanor. The fact that he is such a good communicator made me feel that I was not alone in this process. I wholeheartedly recommend mr. Vaknin for anyone facing the unpleasant situation of having to file for bankruptcy.

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!

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!

A very helpful lawyer

Jonathan setup a living trust for me. I met with him twice in his office and had some phone call and email interaction with him. He has been consistently quick, responsive and generous with his time. He was efficient and well prepared to guide me through the legalese, and had provided useful questi...onnaires to figure out the best way to help. I started out looking for a will but he helped shape my final requirements based on my real needs and situation. I appreciate that he went the extra mile to build a good relationship by welcoming all my questions, and never allowing me to feel rushed or uncomfortable. I felt he was trying to provide me the best service I could get. He has a very amicable manner and is a lawyer I would highly recommend.
