Knowledgeable, Helpful and Trushworthy

Jon was extremely knowledgeable about the entire Family Law process from beginning to end. From our first meeting he explained the process and what I could expect. He listened and asked the right questions. Jon was pleasant and very helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend Jon and his f...irm. They were supportive during a difficult time in my life. With Jon's excellent understanding of the law and his experience in the courtroom, I could not have been in better hands. Divorce and custody are final, having Jon in my corner allowed me to obtain the best outcome possible.

nice person but bad attorney

Jon seems to be a nice person, but as an attorney he could not do much on my case. He is not very responsive with emails and that added to my already anxious state of mind. He is also expensive and sometimes he does not appear to know what is he doing.

Fee Churner

Mr. Askvig was more concerned with churning fees than to do any work. In the last six months he represented me, I can honestly say he did nothing except send me a bill each month for 1K -1.5K. Most of the bills were for telephone calls. I would call him looking for answers only to get voicemail. ...I would call once per week - afterall A trial was fast approaching and he was completely and totally out of touch. he never responded to voicemail or email inquiries, but he certainly billed me for reading them / listening to them. He had no interest whatsoever in solving any problems. In fact, because he was so unresponsive, he cost me a ton of money. The final straw was when, 6 months after I thought discovery was over and taken care of, I found he NEVER submitted the discovery docs to the court. The lawyer I hired to replace this firm was stunned by the lack of work content in any of the files turned over to the new firm. I basically had to start over from scratch because of the disjointed way Mr. Askvig did his work.
