Alex Jones is our family lawyer he represents us during many of life’s important times. Preparing wills, representing us in all the ways life sometimes needs legal representation. Alex is professional, knowledgeable and very responsive. Thanks to him we were able to navigate several tricky situation...s without going to court and keeping our family protected and cared for. We highly recommend him!

Alex 's knowledge and performance excellent! Always responsive, very good communication skills.

Alex Jones proved to be a the perfect attorney for our case. He was up-to-date with all current laws, his explanation of procedures proved accurate, we were prepared by Alex as each step of the case unfolded and his advise and counsel guided us to a very successful conclusion. I have had experien...ce with a case of this type on a previous occasion and the difference was evident from the beginning, Alex really knew what he was doing.

A "Libel" Case Filed As "Civil Harassment Restraining Order"

Alex was outstanding defending me in a meritless civil harassment restraining order case. Alex brought up many First Amendment issues, and in his cross exam of the petitioner, elicited that I had never contacted, called, e-mailed, faxed, etc., anything defined in California Code of Civil Procedure 5...27.6. The petitioner complained that I wrote "libelous" things on a blog about her (that she had crashed her car into a building and failed to take financial responsibility for it.) Of course, it was true and the petitioner lied under oath. The judge opened the case by stating on the record that he agreed with Mr Jones's Answer, that he (the judge) didn't know if he should even hear testimony, and asked the petitioner's attorney why he (the judge) was wrong. It was beautiful. During the hearing, Alex was polite yet determined with the petitioner and called her on her non-responsive or evasive answers. Alex did not back down and pursued questioning where the petitioner became angry and defensive. Alex explained his reasons for why he was doing what he did, and I appreciated that very much.

Dedicated, thorough, and honest.

Adoption cases, we were told, are not always simple. Nine months ago we brought home a beautiful baby girl and needed to find an attorney to help us with the adoption. From our very first meeting, Alex was ready. We sat in his office and explained the entire situation. He then was able to complet...ed the initial paperwork to get things started. Along the way we were met with more than a few bumps in the road. Alex took the time to research each “bump”, was honest about what he found and helped us weigh our options. Our adoption was final this week and Alex said that “everyone’s” hard work paid off. We are here to say that if you are looking for an attorney that will be honest with you, dedicated to your case, thorough with researching each of your options, understanding, kind, and always extremely professional, Alexander T. Jones is that attorney. Thank you Alex for everything!

Patient, understanding, and friendly.

Court cases are overwhelmingly stressfull. This was made even more so considering that we don't live in California! Alex understood what we were going through, and patiently guided us through the legal process. Alex was not only professional with us, but friendly too. Both my husband and I felt... comfortable when we spoke with him. We could ask whatever questions that we needed to, and never felt rushed. The feel that my husband and I got was that of someone "going to bat" for us. By taking the time to find out what was important to us, Alex was able to properly negotiate things on our behalf. In the end, Alex managed to help us work out a settlement outside of court that we were very happy with.
