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.

10/03/2014 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!

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.

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 I'd give ten stars if i could. I reached out to Jon Webster law group when i was at my lowest. Jon Webster and his assistants are amazing. From our first conversation they are very understanding and helpful. Jon has went over and beyond for me. He is very smart and on top of everything. Thank you for everything Mr. Webster. Olivia G.
9/01/2020 - Jon was so kind, professional, and knowledgeable. He gave me accurate information about a tough situation that I was in. Though his office didn't deal with my type of case, he still gave me advise and recommendation regarding who I should contact. I highly recommend him!

10/03/2017 I would give him more stars if I could!!
I retained Mr. Jon Webster when I was at my lowest, desperate for help with a health care related retirement issue. He stayed late to meet with me after my work day was done. He was extremely professional, had read over all my notes I had faxed earlier, and was prepared and ready to go. He was also very compassionate, which really helped to ease my anxiety level. He drafted a letter while I waited so I could sign it then and save another trip back to his office, and then emailed it off that evening. Within 10 days we had settled and I received everything I needed and more. It has completely changed my life and I will be forever grateful. He is the BEST and I would recommend him to anyone who needs legal counsel. You will not find a better attorney anywhere. Marie W.
1/01/1970 I had some questions regarding a possible employment claim and Mr. Webster along with his assistant Nicole were fantastic. Both were very prepared for my consult and answered all of my questions. If you're ever in need for legal representation in their type of law I wouldn't hesitate to retain their services. Jessica B.
