HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mr. Stevens on a estate settlement. I highly recommend Mr. Stevens to anyone seeking legal representation. His, care, honesty, commitment, wisdom, expertise, dedication, and personable approach make him stand out in the legal field. He demonstrated excel...lent communication, prompt responses to my inquires, and attention to the detail. I am grateful for his guidance and the positive, satisfying resolution he achieved for my case.

Great Attorney, Family Man, Great guy.

I have employed Mr. Jonathan Stevens for several business issues over the past 14 years including but not limited to contracts, arbitrations, real estate negotiations, and labor law. I have found Mr. Stevens to be very knowledgeable and diligent not only with the law but with business overall . We... would highly recommend him.

Excellent lawyer and strategic consultant

I first hired Jonathan as a lawyer, that was 11 years ago. I quickly found Jonathan Stevens to be far more than a lawyer. He is an outstanding business consultant. He develops an understanding of the business process and the environment in which they are applied. He has been a very valuable resou...rce in the evolution of our business.

Very reliable and complete in his investigations and recomendations

He has been our corporate and family attorney since 1995. He has always given us sound advice that has proven to be correct throughout the years. He has handled or coordinated all our legal affairs in many areas, including Estate Planning, Corporate Law, IDB’s, Trademarks, Real Estate transactions,... Contracts and Negotiations among other things.

Excellent

I am the owner of a small business in Seattle. Jonathan helped us navigate a difficult matter with a division of our company in California. Jonathan and his great staff were always one step ahead and always kept the big picture in mind. Had we had a less capable lawyer we could have easily lost our b...usiness of 17 years. Great lawyer, great guy!

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.
