Jason did well representing me , when I originally had another lawyer in the firm first . He picked the case up and handled very professional always kept in contact .

Very attentive and knowledgable crew. Your faith is well placed here.

Mr. Jason has gotten whatever the charge or aligation maybe completely dismissed in honor of justice to myself. I recommend the firm for anyone’s problems big or small.

This is the best legal council in Illinois.....period

I used the law offices of jonathan James after thoroughly researching law offices in Rockford..although I am from out of town the law office provided me with a team of professionals that helped me tremendously..

Great Communication always called to let me know what was happening with my case. They took care of my speeding ticket, they went to court for me so I wouldn't have to miss work nor make the drive down there. Overall I would recommend them to anyone that needs a lawyer.

One court date and done would recommend these guys, was going to lose my license and they got it reduce to a petty offense!!! Thank you guys

Friendly and very knowledgeable. Attorney Jerry Molinoski got my case dismissed in just a few court dates. I would recommend this firm to anyone who case a criminal case!

Their office got my ticket taken care of in just one court date and I did not even have to appear. Excellent staff and customer service! Highly recommended!!

This law office is VERY friendly and knows there business! They told me the plan and they were able to execute as discussed! I know lots of Attorneys but none in this specific area until now! I would STRONGLY recommend Attorney Jonathan James to anyone needing his services in the Rockford area! Jessica (his paralegal) was amazing as well! Great attitude and personality as well as the know how to get the job done! I’m VERY pleased!

Jennifer Kotalik is a miracle worker. She was able to expertly negotiate a plea agreement in my favor for a very serious ticket I had received. She was professional and diligent and I truly thank her.

Attorney James was very easy to work with and helpful with getting me through my traffic ticket. I would highly recommend Jonathan!

Attorney Doyle was great while working on my family case. He kept me aware throughout the process and I felt like I had someone in my corner the whole time! I would also highly recommend Attorney Doyle.

Jonathan is awesome. Nice people. Professional and keep you posted on everything. Highly recommend them, they will take care of your needs.

Very Professional, and also very affordable!! highly recommended.

Jonathan is a long time colleague who never backs down from a fight. As a fellow attorney in another field of law, I know that clients I send to him will have the best representation out there.

Thank you everyone, I am very pleased with your services. My gratitude extends to all your amazing staff. I will highly recommend your office to anyone who is seeking expert legal advice.

Jonathan is all around very knowledgeable but also super easy to work with and very helpful. Would highly recommend!

Thanks to a petty, incompetent and corrupt police officer (of the Rockford PD), I was wrongfully arrested for a serious crime that I did not commit. Thankfully, the only place that answered my phone call was the Law Office of Jonathan James. The lawyers that handled my case did an excellent job; they were always in court on my behalf and always promptly returned phone calls whenever I had a question. In only a few months I am glad to announce I left court this afternoon WITHOUT a criminal record and COMPLETE EXPUNGEMENT of this incident is forthcoming.

Bonus: I have now learned how to properly tie a bow tie (this is a major life skill).

After meeting with Jonathan James I felt more confident about my case and his team helped me get it dismissed. 10/10 recommend.

Great expertise, always answered when I called. Affordable, and quality legal advise & assistance, greatly helped my legal situation end on the best note possible. Recommend for anyone in the Rockford, IL. area.

Deciding on a lawyer is a tough descison, The law office of Jonathan James was the right decision, they exceeded my expectations, and got me the result I wanted. They are a very connected law firm and will get you the help you need.

Great attorneys!

He did exactly what he said he would and a lot more. Thank you Jonathan I really appreciate your work. I would recommend him to anyone that has a court case.

They were fantastic. Good rates & friendly lawyers. Hopefully I won’t need another lawyer any time soon but if I do I’ll surely be contacting them!

I was very pleased with my experience. Jennifer was extremely professional and was able to secure the exact judgement that we were striving for. I would happily recommend this firm to anyone I know in need of legal representation.

The whole staff went above and beyond. Wether it was communicating where we were at in the process or getting a favorable outcome in the courtroom, I would highly reccomend these guys.

Attorney jonathan James is the best lawyer!

Very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. Helped me get a very favorable verdict and kept in good communication with me through the whole process.

Jerry Molinoski was a Godsend. To simplify our lives, we paid a ticket online for my 19 year old daughter. We had no idea how HARSH Illinois laws are on drivers under the age of 21. When we received a notice that Illinois wanted to REVOKE her drivers license, our world stopped. This hardship would have caused her to lose her job and drop out of college. That is when we met Attorney Molinoski at Jonathan James Law Firm. Thank you, Jerry, for quickly and effectively turning it all around. My daughter’s license was re instated. I would highly recommend this law office for any traffic issues.

Thorough, knowledgeable, experienced and successful in defense of his clients.

Great communication and great work

Attentive attorneys that are accommodating to work with.

The Paralegal, Jessica Valdez is a total help to this job. I think she's very professional, confidential, determined, and dedicated to her job. Thank you Jessica Valdez!

When we were searching for a lawyer to help our Son on his 3rd (drug related) DUI I called this office because of all the positive google reviews. I was sold just speaking to James Tempin on the phone... it just felt like the right representation. After hiring them it was obvious why they receive so many positive reviews! My sons case was unfortunate and seemed very hopeless. I won't share the details but I will say the results were swift and truly miraculous! Long story short charge was severely reduced, he saved his life, license and helped put him on a path to sobriety. This was a blessing in disguise. We are forever grateful for the talent and aggressive fight on my sons behalf Jonathan James is a Rock Star!

I hope to never have another need but if I did this is the only number I would call! If you're looking for the best and most affordable help with your case, do yourself a favor, call Jonathon James office and let them make a difference in your life too!

Set up a consultation to talk with Johnathan, I waited until 12pm on Monday as set up by his receptionist to do so. Never recieved a call from him. So when I went in the next morning hoping to meet with him. I seen Johnathan sitting at the desk next to his receptionist. I introduced myself
to his receptionist while Johnathan was sitting right there as well. I was never even acknowledged by him at all. And he was even aware that he'd be speaking with me after setting up that Monday phone call consultation. Was referred to him by another attorney, which I'm sure he was made aware of by that attorney. Instead when he finally noticed me standing there, he got up and passed me off to another attorney in his office to handle my situation. I was very unpleased about this. That whole situation threw off the whole entire mood, and made me very uncomfortable just being there. After I left, I left there with zero confidence that this office wouldn't have been able to help me with my situation. Very unpleasant experience with this Law Office.

5 Stars for best effort for the best sentence

Had purchase his service for $500 flat fee.

You can either get a non-moving violation or a reasonable shorten court supervision with a Improper Left Turn Violation via accident. Results may varies. I can't blame the heavy promise on the first because the system is a bit water down.

Since you can get 2 court supervision per year, if you have a job that doesn't like moving violation conviction and that waiting a year on 1 year of court supervision get you freaking out, you are more likely to want someone like Jason to work with you.

Looking forward finishing my 5 months court supervision

The case was a pain in a butt and bittersweet. The sentence feels sore but having 5 months court supervision is as close as you can get without a conviction or a 1 year court supervision.

Jason was able to work out a deal to let bygone be bygone so to speak.

Please note that if you want Jason to have a better understanding of the case. You have to tell him everything. I mean everything even if the paper said that Unit 2 have people listed. I can't blame Jason too much on overlooking this. But, it wouldn't have made much difference on this traffic case any way.

I felt that there were bit of shadiness going on in court as I have anticipate this by letting Jason know. However, I feel that the Winnabago court should have more sense about bias witnesses in a way that anybody can show up and claim that they are "involve in an accident". You only need 1 driver and 1 IF they are verified to be a third party but nobody else.

Fair warning! Court listen to bias witnesses unfortunately.

So, unless the governor passes some magic law that makes certain traffic situation more balance. This is a lame broken system rewarding bad people for free money.

I'll work on being more legal defensive for future accident.

Jason, if you are reading this, I wonder what your thought on a clown paradox when explaining the matter of bias let alone overriding the premise of republic to favor the dark side of democracy or the mob rule.

If 100 clowns ride the clown car and get into an accident or "saw" a crime committed, should all 100 clown testify against 1 man that is driving a vehicle? If I am not mistaken, this was argued in California Supreme Court on the case of where coach bus filled with people have witness an altercation. Alas, this can't be argue in Illinois unless Illinois Supreme Court faced the same dilemma.

I was left very disappointed. Maybe they had something against me but the whole thing was a nightmare and I wish I had just gone with a public defender.

Not surprised I have not received a response...

After my review I would have expected them to try and resolve the issue. Instead they seem to be fanning the fire which speaks to how they do business. there is a lot untrue/misleading about their response.

Worst attorney I have ever known does not know his clients and does not care about the case hired him for a very serious drug case he does not pay attention to the evidence or nothing all he wants is your money I went in for a meeting with him he never once known who I was and didn’t know my name I fired him instantly cause there’s no way you gonna defend me and you don’t know me plus he’s trying to play me out of my money cause I gave him 98% of the cash he charged me for the cause so now I have to go over his head and show him you will never play me or charge me for work you have not done.. so in other words I’m saying is never hire him for nothing serious but traffic cause if you do he will try and sell you out to the state check my review of him on avoo this lawyer is a clown of a attorney he needs to be in a circus....

Paid them in full promptly, a nice sum of money compared to what others have said in reviews. I got the bait and switch. Attorney I was told would represent me was switched to a new person. I could never discuss my case with that person. Hired a different attorney for a third of the price after i was told what prosecuting attorney wanted to do and was told by Jonathan james' attorney just to take prosecuters first offer. Second attorney was shocked at how little I was represented. Came out way better with him. P.lus insult to injury and no fiduciary responsibility on their part Jonathan james' office refused to refund their unearned money. Feel reviews here may have been bought and paid for.

The Law Office of Jonathan James was great to work with. They left no question that I had unanswered. From the beginning of my case to the end they were attentive and reassuring. I truly felt that they did everything they could to get me the best outcome possible. Even once we got the outcome that we wanted attorney James assured me that if I had any questions moving forward he would be there to answer them. If you need legal advice I would highly recommend giving them a call.

I hired Jonathan for a "scotts law" violation that I received. He worked very hard for me. I felt I didnt deserve the ticket I got and he was able to show the courts that I should not of gotten the ticket in the first place. Not guilty. Thanks for all your hard work!!

Best lawyer! Very accommodating financially and legally!

Very great experience! They are understanding and will do whatever it takes to get a positive outcome !!! Highly recommend to anyone!! Thank you !

Jonathan James contacted me, a resident of California, regarding a "Scott's Law" citation I had received in Stephenson County, Northern Illinois, on July 3,2019, and offered to represent me in court. After checking out other law offices that could also represent me, and consulting with my daughter who is an attorney in another state, I went with Jonathan James, particularly since he agreed to represent me in court. I immediately forwarded him $500 to cover his fee, and within a week, and the payment of $300 in court costs, my citation was amended to a petty offense and the case was closed on August 9, 2019.

Very effective lawyering, wouldn't you say? I am very pleased with the end result and recommend Jonathan James to anyone in need of good courtroom representation.

They handled my case with professionalism and were flexible to my working hours. I appreciated the fact that they had a bilingual person that, if needed they were able to communicate all options and proceedings. They got me the best deal bringing my class A misdemeanor down to a class B. Thank you.

Jonathan James law is fantastic! He went above and beyond, handled every single phone call I made politely and always reasured me. He is a very smart, kind, compassionate attorney and person. I cannot see myself recommending anyone else if they are in need. Not only did he believe me as his client but he made the states attorneys office dismiss the case entirely. After it was all said and done I couldn't help but hug him for everything he did. Thank you so much. In a world with a lot of attorneys who are out for money and just don't care I managed to find one that was the compete opposite of that. My family and myself appreciate your work more than you know.

When I contacted the law office to speak about a traffic ticket I wanted to contest, I was able to speak with a lawyer immediately about my situation. My lawyer did a wonderful job at preparing me for my trial and was easy to communicate with about it. In the end, my ticket was dismissed and I would seek out thier services again if the need arose.

Jonathan's office was very quick and efficient in their dealings. Court records were sealed without me having to travel back to Rockford. Very professional and I would recommend his services to anyone.

They were great. They made my personal nightmare into something manageable! Thanks very much to them.

I initially met with attorney Kotalik, but, attorney James showed up for both of my dates in court. He was very nice and quick to get my case dismissed. I’m very thankful for that and will be happy to retain them for my expungement. I’ll be referring this place to everyone!

So I was pulled over going way too fast in Illinois a couple months ago and was given a summons to appear. I live in New York and it would have been difficult for me to get back out there to show up for the court date. I call the Law Office of Jonathan James and they took care of everything! Whitney, who I communicated with, kept me informed the whole time. BEST part was they were able to get the offense dropped down from a moving violation to a parking violation so it did not affect my record.... all for about the same cost it would have taken me to fly out there and back if I was to try and handle it myself!

Great experience with this firm. I worked with Jessica and she was great. Easy to get a hold of and explained everything very nicely. Especially since this was my 1st time ever needing to be in court. Thank you Jessica I truly appreciate your kindness and patience.

I definitely would encourage anyone looking into an experienced and successful attorney to move forward with Mr.James!

EXTREMELY PROFFESIONAL FIRM THAT HELPED THROUGH A CHALLENGING ISSUE. MR. JAMES IS VERY PERSONABLE AND YOU CAN TRULY SEE THAT HE CARES ABOUT HIS CLIENTS. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT THIS LAW OFFICE

They were of big help to me and were very quick to respond to any of my concerns or needs. I would recommend 100%!

GREAT ATTORNEY! TOOK CARE OF ME WITH THE UP MOST RESPECT. HE DID NOT SEE ME AS A CRIMINAL BUT AS A HUMAN BEING THAT MADE A SIMPLE MISTAKE. THANK YOU ALL AT THE LAW OFFICE.

Very satisfied with the outcome of my case. Thank you all at the law office of Mr.James.

Very professional. They made me feel really comfortable with there service. Would definitely use them again if needed.
Thank you guys so much!!!!!!!

Finally a professional staff that knows how to take care of their clients. Very satisfied.

Great work, communicate very well and take care of all your needs.

The best group working for you

They really helped with my traffic citation.

Thank you for the dedication on my case attorney James.

Great team too work with! They keep you informed on everything that goes on with your case. Highly recommended. Gracias!

I am very pleased with the outcome of my case, a great group of hard working attorneys!

I had an extremely favorable result with this attorney, and the staff, from the very beginning to the final outcome. I initially had communication with Whitney Zier, who clearly explained the process I would be entering into. I was faced with losing my license for a minimum of six months, minimum $2500 fine, and possible jail time. From the very start, to the final court date, Mr.James and Whitney Zier stayed in contact with me, and kept me well informed, and always made the time to answer my questions. I ended up getting the majority of my charges dismissed, and only was given drastically reduced fine, thanks to Attorney James. He and his office will work hard to get you a result you will be more than pleased with.

Incredible results! Better than expected outcomes! He’s the best attorney, hands down. You will not be disappointed when you choose the law office of Jonathan James.

I found myself in a difficult position. I'm not from the area and didn't know who to turn to. I was glad I found Mr. James. He was honest with me from the beginning, and did exactly what he said he would. The one time I had to leave a voice message they called me right back. Best of all he got my case dismissed. If you need a lawyer you have to use this office.

Exceptional representation Jennifer is knowledgeable patient & caring @ the same time. Her skills w/ negotiation are stellar, She is realistic but also optimistic, I would recommend Her & The Staff to anyone without hesitation. Completely satisfied w/ outcome. She is right where She belongs practicing law, keep up the great work Jen! Thanks again, Be well

From start to finish, from secretary to attorney. Great job. Very informative. Keeps you up to date through the entire process. Very professional. Thank you
