Above and Beyond the Role of a Lawyer

Jon’s counsel helped me regain my life. I was facing an unfounded meritless allegation in an unfair system with nowhere to turn. Not only that, but I had complaints of my own that I did not even know how to put into words, or begin in a facially skewed proceeding. Although the system in place was not... fair, with Jon’s guidance I could prevail and put the transgression against me into action. I do not think I could have faced the proceedings if it were not for Jon’s counsel and support. Jon helped me help myself seek justice.   Jon cares about his clients. He would often talk during weekends, holidays and even during a family emergency. Jon was there for me during this terrible and chaotic time. Other lawyers may keep their clients in the dark as to strategy and options but Jon is transparent at every step. He is earnest in his consults and will tell you his opinions straight up. Aside from his transparent demeanor, Jon’s tactic to give “marching orders” gave me a sense of agency during the proceeding. Some clients may feel that this is burdensome. But it is quite the opposite. I believe that these “marching orders” affords a client the ability to shape the narrative and allows Jon a handle of the situation from his client’s point of view. This tactic proved invaluable to establish a narrative based on the client’s needs.   Other than the legal support, Jon went above and beyond in his care of my emotional health. There were many times where I suffered from panic attacks. Jon reacted to this with kindness and care outside of his purview as a legal representative. I gained confidence in my cases’ position because Jon was just a phone call or text away. This was something I never expected from a lawyer. But Jon is no ordinary lawyer. Jon understood my financial situation and could accommodate and work with me to establish a reasonable payment timetable.   I cannot put into words how all of Jon’s care and considerations afforded me to take back my life. He is worth every penny. But his results, his care, and his humanity are priceless. If you are facing a situation where you believe you may need a lawyer, look no further than Jon. This is because you not just getting a zealous advocate with his services, you are getting a friend and all in your corner of the ring when you may feel alone. You don’t have to be alone. Jon will be there for you.
