Posted by Sara | April 10, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Professional & Well Versed in all areas of law

I recently experienced a harsh ticket and was in a state of panic. It’s kind of tough on who to chose as an attorney and if you even need one. The answer is YES! You need an attorney to help with legal situations every time! I’m glad I found Jon. Although I had my doubts, once I spoke with him, he p...ut me at ease and informed me entirely of my case and how he would assist me in resolving this situation that caused uncertainty about my professional future. He won, he helped me tremendously and for that I will always refer him to anyone dealing with an unfavorable situation. Happy Client! -Sara

I can’t say enough good things about this guy!

I went so many years with warrants hanging over my head. Until I met Mr. Rapel and he assured me that we could handle it in a timely manner with very little possibility of jail time. I had two charges and a probation violation in my mind the outcome didn’t look good! But he turned that around he rea...lly knows what he is doing I can’t say enough good about him very prompt and kind. If you are looking for a lawyer this is your guy! I walked away with 5 days community service and a 50 dollar fine.+f&p which is much better than I had assumed. Not to mention we worked out a payment plan Which helped a lot.

Amazing Job

Jonathan Rapel was a huge help and by far the best attorney I have hired in my lifetime. He was always available when I needed him, highly professional and not your typical ( only doing it for the money ) attorney. Truly cares about his clients and loves what he does. Thank you so much Mr Rapel. I wo...uld recommend to anyone who needs an attorney.

Posted by Yehuda | January 17, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Car Accidents

Highly recommend

My family and I were in a car accident last year and Jon began handling our case minutes after it happened. Jon kept us informed throughout the entire process and worked with several medical professionals to get us the best care possible. It is evident that Jon has a firm understanding of the law and... is a skilled negotiator. Its wonderful to have found an attorney that has my family's best interest at hand. We are forever grateful.

His grasp of criminal law and negotiations helped to broker a very generous plea-bargain agreement for all defendants.
