Knowledgeable and informative

John does a great job of explaining legal matters in practical terms. He is extremely punctual, has a sense of urgency and extremely thorough with all matters. I would highly recommend him and you won't be disappointed.

Jonathan Mishkin Review

Jonathan Mishkin is a very bright, experienced attorney who recently did our estate/tax planning, and we highly recommend him; he is not only exceedingly knowledgeable in the field (having practiced and taught at U. of Oregon law school for many years), he is very patient and thorough in his explanat...ions of the somewhat difficult field for a layperson to comprehend. His preparation and assembly of the documents are impeccable. We are very pleased with the result.

A lifesaver

I became overwhelmed in a tax situation and was at my wits end. I was referred to Mr. Mishkin, which turned out to be the best thing that could possibly have happened. In ONE sitting, Jonathan cut to the chase, figured out what the so-called 'expert' CPAs had done wrong, and in less than three weeks... we have averted a potential disaster. I cannot recommend Mr. Mishkin enough; he is a gentleman to deal with, extremely astute, a consummate professional.
