If you need guidance, Jonathan will help you!

Jonathan got straight to my case, gathered all the necessary paperwork and sooner than expected I was divorced! He offers very reasonable prices, is quick to respond and very professional. If you need help with your cases please contact him even to get the right info and go through the right path s...o that you can solve your case. I hope to never have to require these kind of services but if I do, I will most definitely contact him once again!

Amazing Divorce Lawyer

Jonathan was able to get what I couldn't get done in 2.5 years- get my divorce finalized. He looked through all of the paperwork that I had filed and corrected the errors with a complete re-filing. The divorce was finalized 2.5 months later. I would highly recommend his services to anyone... seeking family law services.

BE CAREFUL

i hired jonathan lyvere and was very very disappointed. If you have a simple case you may hire this lawyer. If you have a complicated case/ situation, jonathan lyvere is not the right lawyer for you. Trust me, im not gaining anything here but just being honest and a concerned individual. you will pay... at a cheaper price and he will even give you few discount to make him look good to his client, but again, trust me. This is my first time making a review and will not even waste my time. You will get what you paid for. Cheaper attorneys fee will put you on a situation where you dont want to be. My message here is ... Be very careful hiring an inexperienced lawyer if your case is complicated.

Greetings. I am unsure who this, but if you were an actual client of mine, please contact me. If I have wronged you in some way I would like a chance to make it right.

Great experience from consult to resolution

I first met Jonathan when I scheduled a consultation over a year ago. I appreciated how he was straight forward with me and answered all of my questions clearly. What I really liked was that he wasn't focused on getting me to hire him, and advised me to try to work out an agreement with my ex before ...taking things to court. Jonathan explained that court was always an option, but it was the most expensive and should be used as a last resort. Unfortunately, my ex was unreasonable and I hired Jonathan a few months later. I was as impressed with Jonathan in the courtroom as I was in his office. Never showy, Jonathan treated everyone with respect, but made sure that my case was made effectively. My case is over now, and I am very pleased with the outcome. Hopefully I'll never need to use him again, but it is comforting to know that he is there.
