I can't say enough good things about Jonathan stein. He is knowledgable, available and honest! Have used him more than once and would use him again. Highly reccommend!
I was having huge issues with my landlord harassing my wife and I for months. I am a disabled veteran on a fixed income. With Mr. Stein hearing what was happening, he went out of his way to help me for free. Mr. Stein is very Professional and listens. He has helped me draft documents and taught me something new with every conversation we had.
To all my military Brothers and Sisters, please consider Mr. Stein to fight in your corner. He can actually do more in one day, by himself mind you, than the ENTIRE J.A.G. Department. He isn't afraid to do work.
Thank you Mr. Stein for being there. You are definitely the one to go to.

Jonathan is a professional attorney with extensive knowledge in illegal debt collection. He handled my case in an expedient manner and always timely answered any questions I had. He was able to resolve the action of a debt collection law suit to withdrawal. Hiring him was much more affordable that the lawsuit and he works with you if you need a payment plan. He’s a very involved, knowledgeable, and thoughtful attorney doing God’s work.

I got in my very first car accident earlier this year. I had no clue what my first step would be legally. Lucky I contacted Mr. Stein for guidance. He helped me from the beginning and answered all the questions I had and explained what he was doing for me. I appreciate all he did for me, will be my go to attorney for everything.

Timely expertise with great follow-up
I was dealing with a tricky tenant situation. I reached out to Jon and he provided a recommendation that worked for my tenant and I, resulting in a smooth move-out. Knowing that I was protecting myself and being fair to the tenant was a comfort. Jon also followed up afterwards to ensure everything went well and to offer any other assistance. Thanks Jon!

The Best!
Some past debts had gotten out of hand to the point that one had filed suit against me. I tried to deal with it myself as funds are tight (aren't everyone's?) and found myself on the losing end of it. I knew he needed some outside help, so i contacted Jonathan on a referral from an acquaintance. He was able to get the verdict set aside and negotiated with the creditor to find an affordable solution.
Jonathan is very knowledgeable, personable, incredibly clear in his explanations, and excellent in his dealings with creditor.
Thank you so much, Jonathan!

Shout out to Jonathan!
I was in a car accident, hit by an uninsured motorist. There was extensive damage to my car and pain in my back, neck and arms. Jonathan stepped in and directed the car repairs and handled my insurance. He was interested in how my treatment was going and always checked in with me. Before I knew it I had a settlement and a like new car! Jonathan is confident in what he does and makes your life whole again in a seamless manner. I am very grateful for his help and expertise! Thanks again Jonathan!

Excellent attorneys get excellent results!
During my career, I had both the pleasure and at times, misfortune of working with many attorneys, but I regard Mr. Stein as one of the most professional, competent, and compassionate attorneys I have ever worked with.
I hired Mr. Stein to personally represent me in a home purchase/landlord-tenant dispute. It was a real legal nightmare with significant money at risk, time pressure, and a lot of extremely difficult personalities involved.
Mr. Stein expertly determined a legal strategy, a reasonable fee structure, and then went to work. There was every indication that the case would drag on for months, but it was resolved in a matter of a few weeks, much to my surprise and exceeding my expectations. To say I was impressed and pleased would be an understatement.
During the time I engaged him, I always felt like I was a priority. I don’t know of many attorneys that are willing to be in conference calls with the opposing side at 11pm to work towards a resolution, but Mr. Stein did because he knew it was critical to resolve the matter as quickly as possible, even at the risk of reducing billable hours. Mr. Stein was more concerned about getting the required results as opposed to how long he could bill me. Throughout the process, he was reassuring and engaged. It was clear he was working very hard towards a resolution.
If you need highly professional legal representation that is transparent and reasonable, you will not find a better attorney that Mr. Stein and I personally recommend him wholeheartedly. I would not want anyone else representing me or my loved ones in a legal matter.

Jon Stein. Attorney
I hired Jon Stein to represent me in a Geico insurance auto claim. Geico offered to immediately settle with me ( An uninsured motorist hit me and I'm covered ) re: my claim. I hesitated and decided to consult someone. Thank goodness it was Jon. He took my case, and like a true professional handled everything from that point on. He negotiated with all parties involved and in a matter of months this case was in the books. The end result was in my favor, and I was extremely happy. I want convey a profound thanks and gratitude to Jon for representing me. I highly recommend this professional. He's also a nice guy. Thanks again Jon. Dexter N.

Don't look further! This is the most honest lawyer you'll need!!!!
I've contacted Mr. Jonathan regarding a fraud case.
One of the watch dealer I've worked with for a quite a while, after selling me good authentic watches for couple of years, one time he sold me a fake Rolex watch and he stated it was real.
I've gathered all the proofs showing that the watch was a replica,exactly how and what Mr. Stein asked for, and he won the case hands down.
I am located in Canada which made the things even more complicated due to the distance and most of lawyers I've contacted before him refused to get involved in such a complex matter.However, Mr. Stein was smooth, he asked the right questions, he used the proofs in a quick manner and recover most of the money I've lost .
I would recommend him to anyone in need for a lawyer, he's honest and someone to rely on when needed and very professional.

Jonathan goes out of his way to advocate his cleints' needs and in a manner that is reflective of the client him/herself. He was concerned about getting justice for me but kept my own style and personality in mind when determining "the temperature" of the exchanges. That made me feel comfortable while being supported!

Jon helped me with a tenant eviction case. The case was very complicated, so Jon spent some time to talk us through the options. Jon was very clear in the explanation and was always reachable when we had questions. He's genuinely a good guy and you can sense that from working with him.
