Best Man for the Job

He has been a rock in the most tumultuous time of our lives. Our case was not easy. It's been an absolute nightmare. But he has been amazing. He keeps me in check when I need to be and he soothes my husband. Hes never missed a court date or meeting. In fact he stepped in for another lawyer of ours th...at was working on a different aspect of the case who didnt show up, in an entirely different sector of law, and nailed that too. And he did that at literally a moments notice. His office staff is lovely and his paralegal is on top of everything I need when he is not available. He is not cheap but not outrageous either. He works hard and makes sure that you know what's going on and that you are comfortable before he moves forward. Lord knows I am his biggest pain in the a** client (ask him, he will tell you) but he still makes sure to keep me in check while also comforting my husband and I through it. The odds are high that we will be dealing with this for many years to come. We will continue to retain him and his firm if we do. Cannot reccomend highly enough.

Hero who helped my little family

I highly recommend Jonathan Moffitt to any of my family, friends, co-workers and etc.. I had another attorney working on my case for over a year and I didn't see any sense in paying that attorney more when no action what being made. I was recommended Mr. Moffitt and I am so happy I hired him! He c...ommunicates in a timely fashion, supportive, well prepared, understanding of court processes. He truly was the Hero to making things happen and now I have a parenting & child support order on paper.

Excellent

I truly believe this attorney has mastered his craft. He took my very complicated case and layed it out in a simplistic format. He was honest from the beginning. He went through my case and found what I prayed, to my Heaveny Father, he would find if he just took the time to read it, truly read all ...documents and he went to battle with me. When all odds were against me, he brought me through. He didn't give up on me and that is what will always be with me. I made it, thank God I made it. I'm in tears at this moment, because I don't know how to thank him. I thank him so much more than I can say in this review. This man honestly deserves a truely deserves a Metal of Honor of ecknowlegement and recognition. He deserved every dollar, I did my best to show him he is worth a million. So my final words for someone who may be going through their storm, this attorney will see you through it all, he won't leave you alone.

Fantastic

Jonathan was excellent! He was always available and helped explain things as they were. He gave me a full understanding of my options and made recommendations that we're in my best interests. When there were disagreements or things I was adamant about getting in my divorce he allowed me the time to g...et them. They often say the man gets screwed in a divorce and loses everything, Jonathan made it possible for me to get every last request in my divorce. On the end, she walked away with nothing except what I allowed her to have and I got everything. He was patient, calmed me down when I needed it, helped me think strategically and was very reasonable when it came to his fee. He was great! I couldn't be happier

your search stops here!!!

I have used a few lawyers in the past year on a custody dispute . I had honestly almost given up altogether trusting any of them as they usually just nickel and dime you to death. Luckily i came across Mr. Moffitt ! he is very fair with his prices including his consultations it will be the best $$$ ...you spend for sure. you will leave there with a realistic idea of your options and how much they will cost . he is very professional and extremely helpful , in showing you ideas that you may not have thought of. Also he is very able to take your input as ultimately it is your life and decision (most other lawyers are not). Do your self a favor and at least meet with him and have the consultation ...

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.
