  Jonathan Aven has represented buyers in quite a few transactions in which I have provided mortgage financing. It is always a pleasure to work with him. He keeps everyone in the transaction on task, including providing lead time and correspondence ahead of critical dates. Jonathan is conversant in changing lending guidelines and understands how lender rules can affect meeting key dates and he takes the extra step to properly set his client's expectations. Closing is always smooth as Jonathan is able to explain the critical documents to his client in a way that they can understand. I look forward to many more trouble free transactions. Highly recommend.

  I would absolutely recommend Jonathan as a real estate attorney. As a first time buyer, my real estate experience is limited. However, Jonathan came highly recommended from several other advisors and lived up to his reputation. He was responsive, professional and proactive leading to a seamless process up to and including closing. He took care of details, was always early and kept clear lines of communication. Comparing this with the others I encountered while both searching for legal representation and working with attorneys on the opposite side of the table, Jonathan certainly stood out and validated the decision to work with him.

  SUMMARY: Highly recommended law office and owner (Jonathan Aven), extremely reasonable pricing, high integrity and ethics, personal and outstanding service, someone who is working on your side giving 110% effort. I rate the service and experience with 5 stars. I used to always have negative impressions of lawyers until I hired Jonathan to represent me with my condo purchase. I highly recommend Jonathan to ANYONE who is looking to work with one of the most professional and best people in the business, and I look forward to working with him in the future. I searched long and hard to find a good legal practice that had a specialization in real estate (specific to condo closings). After finding my top 10, Jonathan Aven's law practice (and reviews) stood out as my top choice. I called Jonathan to inquire about his services; I received a call within 20 minutes. Jonathan was always available or would always return my calls within 12 hours. I had a confident feeling that he would give 110% of his time and effort to ensure that all my legal concerns and questions would be answered to my satisfaction and he ensured to get me to a win/win situation with my legal services. Understanding legal jargon is not an easy task but Jonathan's ability to break it down into understandable terms really helped my understanding of legal requirements and made me appreciate the skill and knowledge. Jonathan did an amazing job of asking what I was seeking, clearly defined the expectations, and explained what was required from beginning until end. I felt like he was on my side the entire process and he did everything in his power to ensure that the deal was a great success. Jonathan helped me close on my condo in 35 days. I didn't think that was even possible to today's environment. He worked well with all the related parties and always has a positive and win/win attitude. Jonathan was on top of the process from beginning until end. Any time I called Jonathan he was always available or would return my calls in less than one day. He is always available on email and responds right away. I know that my deal closed so quickly and successfully because of Jonathan. His communication was outstanding, and weekly status updates reduced my stress and anxiety. Jonathan's level of service far exceeded my expectations and blew my previous condo experience out of the water. Thanks for a job well done, Jonathan, and I look forward to your services in the future.

  We hired Jon to represent us to close on both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new home. To make it difficult, we set both closings for the same day less than 5 weeks after signing the contracts. To top it all off, the seller on our new home decided not to hire an attorney and to do the closing himself. Jon didn't miss a beat. He expertly coordinated with our agent and lender to make sure all conditions were timely met. He also went above and beyond to work with the unrepresented seller to make sure that he did everything that was necessary to meet our closing. In the end, we successfully closed both transactions on time with Jon's help. Even though I am a lawyer, I would not have been able to sell and buy these homes without Jon's expert assistance. He is a highly capable, professional and ethical attorney. My wife and I are very happy we hired him.
