Due to the severity of my daughter’s accident, I had attorneys actively reaching out looking for our business. I did so much info gathering and research to ensure I chose the right person and firm to represent my family, Jonathan Mester was the best choice I made. He listened to our needs. He understood my concerns and allowed me to ask thousands of questions to ensure I was comfortable with the process. He fought tirelessly to make sure we were taken care of. Couldn’t be happier, highly recommend Jonathan Mester!

My experience with Nurenberg Paris was very positive during a tumultuous time for me. Jonathan Mester is a kind and compassionate person and he handled our case like a true professional. The staff at Nurenberg Paris always treated us with dignity and respect. Phone calls and email were returned promptly, and we were kept abreast of the cases as it unfolded. His case manager, Rachel, was great to work with and very professional. When the time came, we were well informed of our options in the case and what the anticipated result would be. While I pray, I never need this type of service again, I would not hesitate to reach out to him should the need arise.

Jonathan was kind, compassionate and extremely professional, yet personable, and believe he gave excellent advice. He presented options related to agreeing to a settlement or going to trial. Given my family’s circumstance, settlement was the best option. Both Jonathan and his firm would receive an excellent overall recommendation from myself and family.

I took some time to decide whether or not to file a lawsuit against a woman who had hit me back in September of 2019. I only decided to after she was giving me the run around about her insurance handling the claim. I finally contacted a dear friend of mine who is a semi-retired criminal lawyer, who recommended Nurenberg Paris. I was assigned to Jonathan Mester for my claim and his case manager, Rachel Neneckay, both were very kind and helpful. Their turn around time to respond to an email or phone call was also very impressive, I work for the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court and I know from doing my job that the turnaround from lawyers can be very stressful for a lot of people. I would recommend them to others.
