My husband and I highly recommend Jonathan Sholtis as an injury attorney. My husband was injured on the job in Mississippi. We had no knowledge of worker compensation regulations and policies. A friend referred us to Mr. Sholtis. Upon contacting Mr. Sholtis he met with us in our home and explained the legal process. Mr. Sholtis guidance allowed me to focus on my husband’s health needs. Mr. Sholtis was an answer to our prayers. He handled everything from that moment on. We would have naively made so many mistakes had we not hired Mr. Sholtis.

While working as a registered nurse at one of the local hospitals, I had an on the job injury. My employer was not helpful at all with my situation, and seemed to be “going through the process”. I felt helpless! Once I spoke to Jonathan on the phone I felt a little more at ease. Then when I met with him in person, I felt like I had someone on my side. He explained the process to me in terms that I understood. Once our day in court arrived, Jonathan was well prepared. His law partner even showed up to assist him. Needless to say we won our case!!!

I just want to thank Jonathan Sholtis for ALL his hard work. Not only did he handle my workman's comp case, but he also worked on my Disability case. In both cases he won for me. Words can NEVER express how appreciative I am of him and his staff. His caring, listening and understanding my situation

My experience with Jonathan Sholtis was more than what I expected from day one. Throughout my slip and fall case he was always wonderful to talk too and was always on top of every situation that came up against my case. To me, he went above and beyond. I just want to say thanks again Jonathan for the help getting my case won in full.

These recoveries and testimonials are not an indication of future results. Every case is different, and regardless of what friends, family, or other individuals may say about what a case is worth, each case must be evaluated on its own facts and circumstances as they apply to the law. The valuation of a case depends on the facts, the injuries, the jurisdiction, the venue, the witnesses, the parties, and the testimony, among other factors. Furthermore, no representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers
