Client Testimonials

Jonathan is a fantastic lawyer. It is clear to anyone who works with him that he knows his craft and he isn't afraid to "tell you like it is". He is respectful and kind and I have greatly appreciated his patience with me as I learn how family law works and how to compromise and negotiate post-divorce. He helps me to put my thoughts together in a way that make sense and guides me in communicating for myself. I am so grateful to have his help as I navigate this difficult phase of life and I will recommend him to anyone in the unfortunate circumstance of needing a family law layer as I am convinced he is the very best.
