I could not have made it through my divorce without Jonathan Root. His professionalism and tenacity helped me accomplish the impossible. He is able to drill down the most complicated situation and drive it forward to a resolution. He is a force to be reckoned with despite also being kind and empathic. I highly recommend Jonathan Root and am forever grateful to this gentleman!

I called in to get help with a child custody case and was unable to make progress with the Root law firm. They really dropped the ball on my case and I had to hire a different lawyer to get this sussed out.

I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Root! He is focused on WINNING your case! If you are looking for an attorney who will zealously represent you and protect your interests, Mr. Root is the one! Mr. Root handled a custody dispute for me - he was excellent and got me the results that he told me at the onset he would. I only wish I knew of him and hired him at the time of my divorce. Besides Mr. Root fighting aggressively and smartly in the court, he was always available to me for calls, conferences, and even reviewing my planned emails to my ex, which I found very helpful. His guidance throughout the entire process was invaluable. Mr. Root is very experienced and knowledgeable in the family law matters, and the results of my case reflect that. He was my true advocate. In addition, Mr. Root is very professional and so is every single member of his staff. It was truly a pleasure to deal with the entire office.

Was assured that everything was going to be okay and we had a slam dunk case but in the end we lost and not only did we lose the case but we lost my business and dignity which was very upsetting as it was not expected especially with a hot shot and highly reviewed lawyer like jonathan. Now im trying to rebuild.

Worst mistake hiring Jonathan Root. He was rude and obnoxious and never gave me the time of day during my case. Was impossible to get calls returned and am no longer using him.

I was very happy with all the work his law firm did for me. I highly recommend this lawyer, he really helped me with my situation. A good man who cares.

I went to him for a very complicated non family/custody case. I should have hired him from the get go instead of the other attorney I was using. He is the best and smartest attorney. Though his hourly rate is high, he is the most fair in terms of billing and did not charge me for a lot of things. He saved my life.

Having been married to a sociopath it was hard to get the courage to get out. I worked in law firms for years, and know what a good lawyer can do for his clients. I'm so fortunate that I was directed to Mr. Root. It was reassuring knowing that he was tough and able to guide me through a very difficult process. His fees are on the high side of average, but well worth it. This man knows the law and was even able to quote it to the judge when asked. He did his best to keep his fees down, and believe me, knowing the law and not having to research everything saves you a bundle. Lawyers charge for research! I highly recommend Mr. Root and his very professional staff. It took almost a year, but I'm alive and came away with the best possible resolution for me.

I came to Jonathan with a terrible child custody case that 6 lawyers before him could not straighten out for me. In fact, their mistakes further worsened my case. He was my last hope in fighting a highly litigated child custody case in helping to keep my son. He is direct and is not passive/aggressive. He does what is needed to win your case by giving you the best advise and using his cleverness, experience and commanding presence in court. Turned my case around. I don't get what the bad reviews down below are all about. Those people must not have experienced the many terrible lawyers out there. Go with Jonathan and you will see what I mean.

Not professional at all, giving priority to the most profitability cases. He wasn't there when I most needed him, after a reversal of my case caused by a mistake he made. I will definitely not recommend his services, if you do, good luck. He couldn't handle a simple divorce. He costed me more than the money that I was fighting to get. Which I never got anyway. Big mistake. Be aware...

Mr Root is knowledgeable, thorough, and efficient. He will get the job done right the first time.
