I met with a lawyer before Jon. After meeting with him it felt right and i pulled the trigger. Glad i did. My federal citations were all completely dismissed and all i had to do was pay a small fine. Side note: Jon is great at emailing and calling. Jon is not the first attorney that we hired, and because of that, we realized how good he is compared our previous.

I came to Jonathan for a DUI. Although I knew my odds were slim he was able to save my drivers license from being suspended as well as getting my charge reduced and possession charges dropped. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who is direct and will fight for you.
