REVIEWS

  •   Jon and his team were a huge help! I had a consultation with this firm over a business matter, and they really helped me find a direction and a plan to move forward with.
    Highly recommend.

      This review is for Dustin Burton. My family and I recently went through the unbearable loss of our mother. Emotionally, I was a wreck. I couldn't think straight, let alone think about all the paperwork and processes associated with ensuring her estate was taken care of. Dustin went above and beyond for us to ensure we were provided compassionate, competent, and professional legal services. He picked up and spoke to us on the phone and answered our questions. When he didn't know the answer, he researched the issue and followed up. He made several personal visits when paperwork needed to be signed and completed. The services he provided included: legal research, will drafting, notary services, estate declarations, dispute resolution, and lodging documents with the court. Notably, Dustin provided these services during a worldwide pandemic. My family and I are incredibly grateful to have had Dustin help guide us through the most traumatic period of our lives. He is an incredible asset to this firm and a wonderful advocate for his clients.

      I called Mr. Webster and he was so helpful. He was fully attentive to our needs, validated our issues, and gave us many solutions. We felt reassured with his extensive knowledge of the law and sound advice which prevented us from making a mistake. Any other lawyer wouldn't have offered me this help. I know because I talked to 10 other lawyers before I got a hold of him.
    We are very thankful for his time and effort.
    We definitely highly recommend him!

  •   I went to see this company for my husband and I estate planning. And honestly don't know how to explain the amazing experience we had with this company. Dustin Burton was so on top of everything, we just gave him all our information and he took over. He made it so easy and trust me it wasn't. He even noticed our mortgage was only in my name for some reason and took it upon himself to do the extra work and file the papers to get it fixed in both our names. Absolutely 5 or more stars. If I need anything I'm trusting these guys.

      This law firm helped my dad greatly through an age discrimination case. Would highly recommend.

      I called to inquire about engaging the services of JWLG today regarding adding a spouse to a title, and was able to speak with Jon directly!

    He was super nice, and provided me with some great information as just a really nice gesture. He even advised some cheaper options we might want to go with.

    Through the leads he gave me, we actually decided to go a more cost-effective route.

    But, this practice has generated a lot of goodwill in case we have future needs in the areas they specialize in (or come across logical referral opportunities).

    Thank you Jon (and team... the person I first spoke to was great too)!

  •   I highly recommend this law firm if they are able to handle your case. People usually engage with a law firm when they have urgent pressing needs, and want service and direction immediately. I received personal service from the boss and was also given the expectation and calendar that my case would probably take over a year to play out. Indeed, it took over a year to unwind the complexities involved with 5 neighbors. I am 100% satisfied with the whole team's efforts. It's incredibly hard to keep the threads and updates and revisions organized over a long period of time. Couple that with collection efforts, and you need professional help, trust me! My result was 100% what we asked for in the beginning. Were there some surprises? Always to be expected. The overall value was very reasonable, compared to what I have been used to paying for other types of matters. I am a real estate professional fyi.

      5 stars all the way. Jon represented us in a pretty complex case against a nasty cell tower tenant of ours and let me tell you this guy is good. Down to earth and no bs. Him and his team are always polite, return calls and emails and actually they were always waiting on us as they were on it.

    Opposing counsel was a shark and Jon tamed her and we ended up with a best case scenario. He worked with our budget and was honest as can be.

    We are forever grateful to Jon and his team and will use him again if needed.

      Jon replied to my online request nearly instantly. We were low on time and from Friday afternoon when I first made contact until Sunday evening he remained in regular communication and a constant ally. He provided honest feedback and would only accept a retainer fee if certain feasibility standards could be secured. As a real estate broker, I especially value the priority of client success over profit. We are forever grateful for Jon's expertise, ethics and professional direction. The staff diversity is a bonus!

  •   I needed a quick answer for my case to make a decision within a day. I reached out Jon Webster Law Group and described my case. I received a satisfactory answer within a few hours which helped me with my decision. Really appreciate the help!

      I reached out to this law firm with a question about a legal matter and got a call back from a really nice guy. He took the time to ask questions and investigate my situation thoroughly. Even though he determined I didn't have a case, he explained everything to me in a way I could understand. This was a big deal for me because I'm going through a tough time and it involves a lot of money. I appreciate that he treated me with respect and gave me clear answers. I would definitely recommend this law firm based on my experience.

      STOP......
    Do NOT trust this guy.... he LIES. PERIOD.

    NEVER trust a person who lies.
    When would you know that he is not lying to you.

    Based on my experience with him, he is a lire and an incompetent attorney - check his credentials to make sure he is worth what he charges you per hour.

    He is only after getting your money and prolonging the case to get more money out of you.
