About Jonathon
Biography
I am a Certified Family Law Specialist whose law practice is located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. While it may sound cliche', in approaching each case I attempt to treat each client's case as though it were my own. A conscious effort is always made to listen carefully to each client so as to accurately and fully understand their goals and objectives in the matter, and to empathize with what they are going through due to the litigation. Above all else, the ethical obligation to be bluntly honest with each client and to communicate realistic expectations for their case is always honored. An effort is always made to explore various options of settlement in an attempt to keep the financial burden of litigation to a minimum. However, if a fair and reasonable settlement is not possible, I do not shy away from litigation and will do whatever I can, within the confines of the law, to protect my clients interests and achieve his/her goals.
When involved in a divorce or other family law matter, you need a Certified Family Law Specialist.

Great experience
Jonathon is a "genius" (heard this from another family attorney not involved in the case) and I agree. I was not up for a big fight and of course opposing counsel did everything possible to drive up the fees with many ridiculous requests which Mr. Zitney was able to eliminate. I appreciated his abil...

Outstanding Attorney
Mr. Zitney did excellent work for me. Being a certified in Family Law makes it obvious he knows the law, but that's not enough in an attorney. He did an excellent job communicating with me, both keeping me informed and explaining the legal concepts that applied to my case. Mr. Zitney was also upfront...

Right person, for a very difficult situation
Jonathion was the attorney that got the job done! My personal case should not have taken as long as it had, but due to emotions of the divorce on both sides, it was Jonathon, that was able to bring the two sides together. I had a great attorney previously, but my ex spouse had refused to deal with he...
