Positive results. A fantastic family law attorney.

Jon worked on multiple cases for me and my family over the course of three years and he consistently delivered top notch results and service. He was thorough, knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, and compassionate. In my first experience with Jon’s expertise he crafted a 16 page memorandum fo...r a hearing. The document deftly and accurately combined facts of the case with a solid argument supported by law, and helped to establish the successful trajectory of the custody case into the future. Over time Jon proved himself to be very knowledgeable about family law and highly resourceful. On numerous occasions he identified weaknesses in the work of other attorneys. He knows the law. Jon always responded quickly to phone calls and emails. His responsiveness and unwavering attention were reassuring and supportive. His impeccable attention to detail was a result of sincere compassion. I can say with 100% certainty that he truly cared about me and my family. At times he even provided information, resources, and advice on how to handle some matters on my own in order to save money. With his help I was able to handle many aspects of making changes to child support. I cannot overstate how grateful I will always be to Jon for his dedication and his work. Time after time Jon proved himself to be not only a highly effective and dependable attorney, but also an advocate for me and my family’s best interests. I would not hesitate to hire Jon again in the future and I highly recommend him.

I am eternally grateful.

During a very stressful time, I retained Mr. Jonathan Trause. Facing several false allegations, big enough to have my children taken from me, I was terrified. When Jon took on my case, my hearing was only a few days away, and he made it top priority. Jon was able to get a baseless restraining order, ...that was filed against me, dismissed in its entirety. Shortly following, Jon helped me get a status quo order put in place to further protect my children. Less than two months later, Jon represented me during my child custody hearing in which I had many safety concerns and I was facing more false allegations. With Jon’s representation, I am extremely grateful to say that I was able to get everything I asked for. The father of my children will have supervised parenting time with no overnights, his child support will continue to be based on “potential” income, and I was awarded sole custody of the children. There are no words I can come up with to accurately describe how appreciative and thankful I am that Jon represented me. I put my trust in him and he delivered. He went above and beyond my highest expectation. Jon is extremely knowledgeable, a quick thinker in and out of court, and has a very courteous mannerism. I highly recommend Mr. Jonathan Trause to anyone seeking legal counsel.
