He was worth every penny

Jon is a great lawyer and goes the extra mile for his clients. I was very impressed with his knowledge in law regarding my case. I have worked around attorneys for the past 5 years and Jon was highly recommended to me by another attorney who is a personal friend. Jon not only knows the law inside and out, but also the courts personnel which is very helpful in determining your best outcome. He also gives the client opportunities to make choices based on his prior engagements with the courts citing case law and other attorneys experiences. He is also well respected by the other local attorneys, I can’t say enough good things about him. If you need an attorney in the surrounding area he has a vast network of experts and colleagues. He was worth every penny, even if you have bad luck and go up against a lean and unpersuasive judge. The courts are a gamble and I don’t gamble, narrow down the odds with Jon on your side.
