REVIEWS

  •   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 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.

      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.

  •   Within a day of sending a consultation request, I got a call and chatted with the team. They offered amazing advice and resources. I appreciated the candor and the quick turnaround time. Definitely worth contacting them of you have any issues they can potentially help resolve.

      I'm in the process of buying sn S-corp and was lost on how to get started. I called hoping to get advice and was expecting a long expensive process. I was transferred to Jon who answered all of my questions in a succinct manner. He walked me through exactly what I need to do to transfer the corporation to my name.

    In less than 20min, he made a huge daunting task seem straightforward. He was super friendly (and a fellow dog lover who congratulated me on my dogwalking business). I am very grateful and will definitely employ him if I need more help in the future.

      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.

      These guys changed my view of the industry. From Charles, to Dustin, to Jon himself, they had incredible diligence on working on my issue.
    They gave me an astounding bit of comfort with defending my rights.
    It took less than 24 hours for them to review what I presented them with and reach out to me.

  •   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.

      If I could give 10 stars I would! Jon and his team are some of the most professional and caring individuals my family and I have come across. My father and I walked into our consult with Jon with tears in our eyes and full of confusion. As a small business owner, a lawsuit can be your worst nightmare. Jon showed so much compassion, patience and understanding for our case. He did an outstanding job with the representation and we will forever be grateful for his honest and hard work.

    If you're in need of an knowledgable, efficient and dedicated attorney - Jon Webster is definitely the one!
