Supportive, honest and truly invested in making sure that my rights were protected

Mr.Jon represented me in a complex criminal matter. He was experienced on all levels of the process and able to expertly guide me through the presentation of an effective defense. He was supportive, honest and truly invested in making sure that my rights were protected. Mr. Jon was passionate in my defense and compassionate with all impacted parties.

He was thoughtful, decisive and able to guide me through a very difficult situation while demonstrating the highest level of ethics. His ability to present the facts, argue the salient points, relate to the Court were beyond all my expectation. I had thought my case was hopeless when I saw the witness and the police present at the same time, but Mr. Jon has magic! After he talked to the witness for a while, the witness agreed to dismiss my case. I can’t even believe it! He solved my biggest problem which caused me nightmares for the past six months! He dismiss my case straight away! He ‘s very patient. He fought on my behalf from beginning to end and I simply could not have asked for better representation from an experienced criminal attorney. I actually had another case which is way more easier than this one, I hired another lawyer for me but it went so bad, I waited for long time and it didn’t get dismissed. After this case, I transfer my first case to Mr. Jon, because I trust him and I know we will have another good result!

Beyond all, Mr. Jon has a true passion for the truth and for his clients. I would put my life in his hands…and I did. I would recommend that anyone in need of representation take the time to at least consult with Mr. Jon. He will work tirelessly for you.
