Best attorney ever! I had a horrible experience with my hoa not releasing old liens and double billing during litigation. We went back and forth for 13 years until I hired Jonathan Dessaules as my hoa attorney within 2 months my liens were released and my ledger was zero. I highly recommend any issues you may have with your hoa hire him do not try to fight on your own the laws are easily mis leading hard to understand he knew every law Jonathan was able explain why it was not right to me and he was able to have it cleared up fast. I had an almost 6000 ledger go to zero for my family to truly start fresh! I wish I found him in 2010 would have saved me so much more.

From onset to resolution, Jon oversaw my case and stepped in as needed to mentor the team. Jon as a seasoned expert naturally gravitates to the heart of the matter and brilliantly deduces strategy or on-the-spot follow up questions within depositions and court proceedings. I certainly see Jon as the honorable judge earning the respect of the court, his peers, and his clients. While I am veteran, this is the first time that I felt I had a guardian and for that, Jon, you have my heartfelt gratitude.

Our HOA sued us over our addition due to a setback violation. We had never had to retain a lawyer before in our lives and suddenly we were in a panic. We contacted Jon Dessaules from Dessaules Law Group and from the first conversation we knew we had come to the right place. Jon knew from experience the possible outcomes and walked us through what would most likely happen. Before our initial conversation, Jon took the time to review the facts about the case and various documents we had provided. We had interviewed 3 other law firms and even started down the road with one of them. The experience with Dessaules Law was night and day. We saw immediate results and even saw a difference in how our HOA began treating us. The HOA went from being arrogant, standoffish, and demanding we tear down our addition to back channeling for a settlement. Jon and his team gave clear answers to our questions and provided straight forward guidance on the best way to proceed with the case. When we gave suggestions or feedback it was incorporated where appropriate. Dessaules Law handled our case in Tucson flawlessly (even though they are 2 hours away in Phoenix). We began the case worried we would have to tear down our entire addition and start over. We ended with a settlement where we did not have to change a thing. We couldn’t be happier with Dessaules Law and Highly recommend them.

Mr. Dessaules and his team (in addition to Jonathan: Douglas and Hilary have also been exceptionally helpful) have provided me with patient, timely, responsive, highly-competent, skilled, and fairly-priced representation. I am a licensed AZ attorney who practices in a very different area of law and came to a point where I found myself far outside my professional realm of comfort, requiring assistance relating to a personal and emotional HOA problem, which necessitated that I secure retention of an attorney with substantial experience dealing in plaintiff HOA issues & real estate law. I conducted some basic solo research via the trusty Google machine to find the right person to help me, ultimately identifying, requesting assistance from, then retaining Mr. Dessaules. Prior to discussing my specific problem with him then seeking his engagement, I did not know him, his firm, or the reputations of either. I found myself in a rather embarrassing professional place: in a position where I felt it necessary to ask another local attorney with whom I was not familiar to professionally represent me because I required help with a situation that was outside my scope of expertise. This was not a professional favor or courtesy; I approached him as a stranger/hopeful client who needed help and he and his staff immediately acknowledged my announced embarrassment, very casually minimized it to make the situation easier for me, and carried me through, achieving a better outcome for me than I had hoped for from the outset. The situation was emotional for me so I must shamefully admit that Mr. Dessaules had to deal with a bad/emotional client at times. Throughout, (and unlike me) Mr. Dessaules never lost composure or professionalism but stayed the course, responding on weekends and evenings, while working to negotiate the best possible outcome for me, treating me with respect, very timely attention and response, and ultimately negotiated a better outcome for me than I even hoped for or requested upon engaging him. Mr. Dessaules has handled my representation with exceeding professionalism and grace. I regard him and his team as highly-skilled within their HOA/real estate area of specialty, which represents the limit of my experience with him and his firm. I admire and respect Mr. Dessaules and his firm's professionalism, work product, and find his billing practices to be uncommonly fair. Fan for life. I have proudly referred him to two people requiring assistance with real estate/HOA representation and as a similarly-situated professional working within an adjacent sandbox, he is, without hesitation, the go-to plaintiff HOA or real estate litigation attorney specialist based on my personal experience with another professional with whom I share a the same licensure.

I’m 74 years old, a property owner since 1971 and have dealt with real estate attorneys in Idaho and Arizona. To make a long story short … wish we would have meet years earlier. Jonathan and Jacob both represented me with several HOA matters. Butted heads a bit but took the time to straighten me out to best understand the law and the process. Became very evident they had our best business interests in mind. During court proceedings, I was absolutely awestruck with the knowledge of the cases and how it was represented. Awesome!!!!

My HOA wasn't repairing the Common Elements and I had water intrusion. Little did I know that they'd dig their heels in and continue to not repair things once I complained. I had no recourse but to sue. After interviewing 4 attorneys, I chose Dessaules Law Group. I was impressed with Mr. Dessaules demeanor and practical/pragmatic outlook. He never spoke down to me and tolerated my concerns, responding with patient and polite advice every time. The HOA's attorney said "the Association is not required to repair any/all leaks that an owner might bring to the Association’s attention", which of course, sounds crazy. Had I not had the heroes at DLG to help me weather that craziness I'm not sure what I'd have done. Mr. Dessaules helped immensely by infusing humor at the right moments, to help me disengage and wait out the storm. Jonathan Dessaules and his team stuck with me through the bitter 3 year process and made sure I walked away with at least something for the losses I'd endured. It was only through his good graces that we were able to strike a deal with the HOA's insurance carrier, get repairs and settle without going to court. I'm very, very grateful for Jonathan Dessaules and his team, including Mr. Robert Connelly and paralegal Hilary. Thanks to you, I can move on with my life.

Jon stepped in at literally the last minute after a miserable experience with another attorney. He pulled no punches, laid out the case as he saw it and the potentials for a jury, along with the potential coats to get me TO said jury. And while I would have won, the costs didn't bear it out for me. So I settled. Am I happy with the settlement? I'd have been happier with more but it's a solid win as is, and I truly saw him put my needs above his own in giving me the recommendation.

I asked HOA neighbors dispute questions on AVVO. Jonathan Dessaules responded shortly with questions of his own. Once retained, Mr.Dessaules demonstrated his legal knowledge and skill to resolve the issue and satisfy our complaint. During this time, a retaliatory HOA property manager filed a violation complaint on behalf of a disgruntled neighbor. He again used his legal knowledge and skills to have the violation closed. I would retain the J Desaussles Law Group again when needed. Personally endorse and recommend his legal services.

Jon is an outstanding attorney who is very detail-oriented and thinks outside the box regarding getting matters resolved.

Mr. Dessaules is an outstanding attorney. Very well respected within the legal community and a great advocate for his clients. Highly recommend Mr. Dessaules and Dessaules Law Group for your legal needs.

Jon is Brilliant...He is able to take complex issues and break them down to easily understood concepts. More importantly, he will go to battle and fight for his clients. He is an outstanding litigator who knows how to WIN! Highly recommend Jon!

Jonathan provided us with professional service he got right to the bottom of our issue with HOA attorney and figured out what the discrepancies were and he negotiate a settlement agreement in weeks.We also explain to me all the HOA attorneys were breaking the law and going to against the statue of Arizona. He is very knowledgeable about his work. We will use him again if we need his services again in the future. We where very pleased with his work.
