Fellow Colleague

I have had the pleasure of getting to know Mr. Mintz while he handled a case that my firm referred to him. Mr. Mintz is a hard working, conscientious, passionate lawyer/individual that makes sure all his clients objectives are fulfilled. Further, he is extremely knowledgeable in his practice area. I ...would not hesitate to refer Mr. Mintz to anyone who could benefit from the services he provides.

SVP, Associate General Counsel, The Macerich Company

Jonathan prepared my family trust, as well as provided very important related advice on taxes and insurance issues not just during the creation of the trust, but afterwards he continued to provide great service. Always very timely and gets to the point with clear, concise explanations as to why he re...commends a certain course of action. I have recommended him to friends and colleagues and will continue to do so without reservation.
