Jonathan was GREAT!!

Jonathan handled my disability claim and was so knowledgeable. He spent a lot of time going over my case prior to the hearing and gave me the straight facts and not just what I wanted to hear. He was very organized and I felt win or lose I had one of the best attorneys handing my case. Not to ment...ion he was always available to talk to and he actually listened to what I had to say. You can't go wrong using Jonathan. I would recommend him in a heart beat!!

Social Security & Disability lawyer | Jan 22

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Jonathan has great experience in Superior Court, previously working as a Court Clerk to various judges and now presenting motions, cases and arguments before them. the clerking work Jonathan performed is highly valued among practicing attorneys because it allows the clerk to work closely with judges and see how legal decisions are informed and then ultimately decided. It also gives the attorney great insights into judicial philosophy and the mindset from the bench, which in turn help the attorney advocate more persuasively. Beyond this excellent experience, Jonathan has demonstrated his ability to represent Social Security Disability claimants, including obtaining a higher win percentage at hearings than might be expected from market statistics. He is an excellent and skilled attorney."
