The Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall

Brian McCauley Comes highly recommend by me! Although things didn't look the greatest he stayed calm and focus and pulled it out! He has my trust and my business from now on! Thank you!

Here comes the first poor review of this firm. When you need an attorney, you're in trouble, you're vulnerable and hoping for the best possible outcome in what are bad circumstances. I thought I would get a firm that cared, but they prefer to compliment themselves whilst you're jammed up waiting 8 months for Discovery that never comes. One would think, you might have a chance to win when your accuser can't prove half the charges you're facing with video and audio of the arrest. From the very beginning, my emails went into Matt Dorey's SPAM folder while I waited weeks for some idea of what to expect. Thanks for the apology at the time Matt, but that is just bush league. Attorney #2 comes into the mix, Paul Koutouzakis. Paul didn't appreciate it when I said it seemed to me that my file/case was being passed around his office. Paul actually had the nerve to give me an attitude when I said that, and he referred to what I was getting as basically a "dream team" of attorney's. Give me a break, Paul. Last but not least, attorney #3 Colin Bonus. At this point, I'm 8 months in and now I wait for Colin to reply to an email or even call me before my hearing. So, I email Tonianne Kosinski and request that SOMEONE call me before my April court hearing (have email to prove my efforts). She responds that she will pass on the message. What do you think happened? No call and Mr. Bonus actually had the nerve to tell the Judge that I hadn't "made up my mind" as to whether or not go to trial. That's exactly what I wanted to discuss and I got scolded by the Judge for "dragging this out." I spoke up and told the Judge it was my representation who dropped the ball, not me. $5,500.00 they need to do a better job than this BS. I bet I could have won my case and not lost my license if I had a firm that seemed to care about me. Bonus actually said to me that we should take the plea and get this off the Prosecutor's desk. The fraternity of lawyers sticking together if you ask me. Oh well, look long and hard before you consider this DREAM TEAM. The best part is that I took my lumps on May 17th and I was back with Matt Dorey. That was a week ago today and I'm still waiting for this guy to get confirmation of closing docs and what I should do next. I've text him 3 times (I have his cell) and I can see he's read them, but STILL NO RESPONSE. Thanks, guys.

Some like a short review and others prefer more details. The short review is that William Wackowski, Esq., of the Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall is an excellent lawyer who handled my case in such a way as to change the path of my life. I cannot recommend him enough. As for the details - I was charged with assault-by-auto and subsequently denied entrance into the Pretrial Intervention (PTI) program. Without the counsel of Mr. Wackowski, I would be a felon at this time and the ability for advancement in my particular career would have been over. For various reasons (some obvious and some not so obvious), this would have been a devastating blow to the future of my family. Thankfully, over the past two years Mr. Wackowski was able to argue and win an appeal that enabled me to enter into the PTI program. From all that I had read, it did not seem likely that we would win the appeal, but Mr. Wackowski’s arguments were convincing and the judge overturned the denial. Upon successful completion of the program, I will have the felony charge dropped and will be able to pursue advancement in my career. Going through the court system can be a slow, grinding, and fearful process and it goes without saying that the last few years have been extremely stressful. At each step of the way Mr. Wackowski gave me excellent advice and often helped me to not worry. He made himself available and answered my questions in such a way that made me feel that I could ask him anything about my particular case. Having an attorney like Mr. Wackowski - someone that you can trust, with a clear command of the law, and a calm disposition - is worth more than you can imagine. If you are in need of a lawyer, I strongly recommend that you reach out to the Law Offices of John F. Marshall and specifically to William Wackowski, Esq. He has helped me and my family and I cannot thank him enough.

Had the pleasure of having William Wackowski handle a covid related incident with the NJDMV for me. He did an outstanding job and communicated with me every step of the way and had the entire matter dismissed. Would highly recommend William Wackowski, great guy, great job. Thanks so much!

Probably the most responsive and professional law office I've had too deal with. Never had to deal with criminal charges before, but they were on top of everything before I even know what was happening. Always kept in touch, and let me know what actions I had to take. Also, got my charges dismissed with prejudice. Highly recommended!
