    “Everything Jonathan did was smooth and it took a huge burden off of me.”
    Jonathan has helped me with a family law case. Everything he did was smooth and it took a huge burden off of me. I appreciate that he took the time to email me at every step to let me know what was going on. Oftentimes, with other lawyers, I was kept in limbo while I tried to get a hold of them. Jonathan was very professional and I will continue to use his services should anything else arise with my divorce case.
