I fired him in…read moreNovember and I got a email from the courthouse soon after when I want to reschedule my court conference because the one in July was adjourned. And I've been telling this lawyer let's go in front of a judge even before that he refused to, and now, I have to wait until March or April to get a court conference in front of a judge. Very dishonest he wasn't working for me. He was working for the other side. And then trying to grease his buddies pockets realtor trying to sell my house for nothing and not caring about where I am going to be living. And I told this lawyer from day one that I wanted to keep my home and still wanted to try to sell it with his friend as the realtor to someone else for less than what I offered. That's some backwards deal. I'll never trust this lawyer some shady stuff going on with his lawyer. I could've been done my court case in July for family court instead they want to prolong it to make more money stating that they're talking to the other side. trying to negotiate yet they keep asking every month for money for what for talking when we could've gone to court and resolve this issue in front of a judge. Why was the lawyer adjourned a court case I only could think of one reason to make more money. I'll be telling the judge this in March, what happened?

Mr. Circelli represented me in a very high conflict family law matter. He was recommended to me by…read morea local council who did not have the capacity to take my case. Tony was my third lawyer for this case, and I am forever greatful for Tony and his assistant Melanie. Third time's a charm! Mr. Circelli and his team acted with great professionalism throughout, supporting me as needed and guiding me through what was one of the most difficult times of my life. He kept me focused on the child's best interest, and lead both parties to a successful agreement, despite the high conflict. He showed leadership, professionalism, and compassion. He was very responsive, knowledgeable, and PATIENT. I can't thank Mr. Circelli and his team enough for their perseverance and leadership. I hope I never have to use him again, but if I do, I am confident that my child's best interests are his priority. Thank you!

I gave great recommendation to anyone and everyone I knew if they ever needed a family lawyer…read morebecause I meant it. I even vouched for him as I saw he is on the "bad lawyer list" I emailed them :His reviews are bad yes, he's an asshole. But... he's your asshole. He wins. He's good. If you can stand him. He is condescending, impatient and has very little empathy. None. If you cry too much or piss him off. You're out. However, he has the right combination of ego/confidence , paired with what seems to be mild aspergers or anti social personality disorder, add a dash of little man syndrome. Youve got a legal genius. Im not kidding. He is good. He needs to win. If he takes your case, it means you'll get your child back. But you have to listen to him. I he I imagine he's someone who takes the board game home if he's losing... it was like a whirlwind abusive relationship with no honeymoon period. However I had a simultaneous domestic violence hearing in which I was the victim and i was a mess as they took my child on the word of my abuser. It took forever, CAS did no investigation wouldn't listen and the trauma was crippling as i lost my baby. I was near suicidal. He didnt kill me though some days I left his office and cried the whole walk home and evening until I slept. When the criminal case came up nearly 2.5 years later.... had to give my statement and damn that sweet jerk, he had helped me. I was tougher. I could keep my facts straight even with my abuser there. I swear he did it on purpose as the way he treated me when he asked me questions, any question, was as rude and insensitive as the defense attorney. Without Jonathans emotional abuse and blatant disregard for my feelings, I would've been caught off guard it may have ended up like so many other cases do.... a "he said she said" all because the woman is afraid or can't function with her abuser present;especially when being treated so poorly while having to recall something so traumatic. Im not sure id have gotten my son back. I did. Immediately after that trial. I had him more than half the time, then full time by the next family court date. I asked him if I could hug him. He actually smiled and said yes.He hugs like that time Trump forgot how to drink water. He likes winning. He is good. But he's a dick. Just make sure he's your dick. The best lawyers are sometimes the worst people. My opinion has changed drastically. Mother in law never left us alone called CAS constantky with unfounded claims shes a control freak she had wanted to keep my son. So she made our fresh start hell at our new home. My son was so happy to be home. Next thing I know we have neighbours hating us and calling CAS our worker saw right through it all and kept the file open so I didnt get a new worker who might listen to her. He was going to help us get on the same page and her to stop calling; then he was promoted. I had 4 different workers in 6 months MIL called and lied turned things around that she did.. next thing I know CAS is believing her - we went right back to how it was before the criminal trial. They literally said they were taking my son b/c I had a disability without any evidence of it being an issue other than their triggering me and finding itd be easier to work with a "normal" person. Long story short I lost my son. I called Jonathan I couldnt stop crying - my fiancee was there he spoke to him apologized. Things were still at it to the point time wise they could just give him back. A shrewd lawyer couldve done it with a visit to the director or a well penned letter. He was so rude and said he could not help me if I was going to cry I apologized but I coulnt help it. This was part of the trauma I worked to overcome and they went back and re did the things that scarred me so badly. My son is my life. He told mhy fiancee he was busy and gave me the name of another lawyer. He did it so smugly and impolitely, I needed him. This lawyer seemed nice but he was the worst lawyer in history, BAD INEFFECTIVE AT BEST. HE LOST MY SON ON A BLACK AND WHITE PRIMA FACIE DESCRIMINATION MATTER. With no evidence on their side. Jonathan did that on purpose. I feel this very strongly as any moron can see this guy was inept. BEWARE. SADISTIC AND PETTY IN MY OPINION

Jonathan maybe as straight forward as humanly possible, but he takes the time to hear you, help you…read moresee what is responsible/possible, and helps you achieve it. He helped me on so very many levels to gain control of an impossible situation. I honestly couldn't have done it without him. Hands down for a family law lawyer, I wouldn't go to anyone else!
