I wasn't sure what to think about my decision. Id hired Johnathan and his team purely on gut instinct. On the phone he seemed to be the most capable lawyer. I needed someone who wasn't gonna try to talk me into signing a plea agreement. I needed someone who was gonna represent me the way I would have. And fight for me like it was his future on the line. And I'll be honest I've never thought to highly of the legal system. But Mr Harwell put all of those fears to rest the first day we met. He made me a believer that hard working honest people although few and far between,do still exist. He and his

I was lucky enough to have been given Mr Harwell's name from the Indiana Bar Assoc. He quickly took my son's case and has been in contact with someone in the family or my son alot. I feel like God provided us with this Miracle attorney. Thanks for all you do.

During the short time we have been with working with Jonathan and his team, they have been very responsive and working hard to get all of the information they need to build the best case. They respond to emails/phone calls quickly. He is upfront and allows for outside input/ideas. He worked hard through several calls to the facility to get a phone appointment set-up with my incarcerated boyfriend.
