Good advisor. Tenacious at negotiation

I have been jaded by the legal system. But Jonathan Is energetic and ethical. Keeps good accounting of time and helped me dodge a few bullets. He is the most honest attorney I know.

My Dealings with Mr. Rappaport with my Criminal Charge / Car / Auto Accident Matter

Mr. Rappaport represented me in a criminal defense matter within context of a truck accident involving a gross misdemeanor charge - his representation fostered a drop of all charges. He was responsive, on topic and leveled the prosecution offers and counter offers with documented outcomes in other c...ase situations that went to trial - he kept me out of court and more. I am grateful.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
