During the middle of our first meeting I shared that a week prior i got a reckless driving charge and had a pending petty charge from my child’s Mother. I presented Jon with 2 misdemeanors and 1 felony. Go Time

I can say with the confidence, you're in good hands if he's your lawyer!
As a fellow attorney, I can attest that Jon is a top professional in his field. He knows all the ins and outs of the criminal defense. I came across his blog post on DUI defense while doing research for one of my cases and was impressed by the depth of his knowledge and the level of his experience. I incorporated his tips into my own argument and reached a very successful outcome. I can say with the confidence, you’re in good hands if he’s your lawyer!
