I spoke to Jon about 2 weeks ago. I would like to say thank you for such a fast response time and your office staff was very helpful.. you spent 45 min on the phone with me. I even asked you if I could pay you and you said no.. if and when I need to move forward. It will be with you law firm.
Thanks for all you time and advice.
PS the reason I called you is because of all the positive reviews on Yelp!
Best Regards

1/10/2018 WOW. I called Jon for a very long and complex consultation. He was more than willing to help, guided me through the in's and out's of my employment agreement and hiring bonus questions. He didn't ask for a dime. Jon seems like a stand-up guy I would highly recommend him to any employment law questions.

9/07/2019 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.

1/01/1970 - I was looking for advice in regards to Tenant/Landlord rights and was referred to different agencies with no answers. I stumbled across Jon Webster's office on Justia and was greeted by a nice gentlemen who then transferred me to Jon. Jon was kind and willing to answer my questions with advice and resolution. The patience to listen and the willingness to offer solution stuck with me. I highly recommend his office and will be going to him should I need further assistance in the future.

10/02/2017 I have hired my share of attorneys over the years for my business needs and Mr. Webster is simply the best I have run into!
Mr. Webster is sharp, honest and keeps you informed.

1/01/1970 Jon Webster is informative and cares about his clients. It was easy to set up an appointment with his really nice staff. During the appointment he took time and was able to answer all of my questions. He is very professional and was able to help me. I highly recommend him and will be returning for any future questions I have. I am super happy to have an amazing local lawyer!

8/05/2020 - Wow. Hear the one about the lawyer who called a new client back on a Saturday afternoon, advised on employment law, then did not bill? No joke. Jon spoke with me for nearly an hour, investigating the situation and provided good legal coaching for negotiation. I will use his services for next steps.

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. Americola A.
1/01/1970 - This was the second firm I called. Everything is now said and done and firm #1 still hasn't returned my call. When I called the Law Offices of Jon Webster I was helped immediately and made an appointment for that same week. I emailed a document I had questions on (got a reply confirming receipt) & the attorney reviewed everything in advance as to not take up our time with that. They have a flat fee for consultations that was very reasonable and as that was all I needed I was then done and very happy with the service I received. Very professional, courteous & responsive. I appreciate good service when I get it & recommend this firm both on that and the advice I received. Harry G.
10/03/2014 This review is solely based on his prompt response. Although I have not used Jon's legal services, I can say his response time is amazing! He was also able to point me in the right direction. Thank you!

1/01/1970 Before our initial consult, Jon Webster took the time to read over our documents and shared helpful advice on how we can deal with our tough situation. He was honest, direct and open and even suggested that it'd be in our best interest to find a different attorney in an area closer to our property to help us save on costs. Even though we ultimately did not retain his services, he still took the time to be helpful, read over our documents, and share his experience on how to move forward.
