Being on the receiving end of a lawsuit, especially one that you do not deserve, isn't exactly an enjoyable event. Jon Pfeiffer made my business partner and I feel at ease immediately with a game plan and confidence. I was no longer concerned with being on the receiving of a lawsuit, my only concern was getting through the process (which a lawsuit is), as all would be OK. Jon and his associates made the opposing lawyer run in circles and finally in a choke hold and never gave him air. My type of guy. I highly recommend his services.

I am a current client of Jon Pfeiffer, who helped rescue my business from debilitating, legal turmoil. I found Jon while in the midst of several cases which were beginning to cripple my business. His experienced, level-headed approach helped resolve these issues, and allowed my company to emerge and move forward. I would strongly recommend him to any business owner. Jon is someone who you definitely want in your corner..my business is living proof!

I've engaged Mr. Pfeiffer more than once. His approach is productive and strategic, as it should be. There's no chest-beating or dramatics. He is direct and informed. His counsel has been infallible when assessing options and the best route to achieve the desired outcome.

I was a small fish with a small bank account in a big, messed-up pond. Jon saw the merits of my troubles and steered me into a level of justice I never thought I could afford. To have someone fight for me as hard as he is fighting for much larger clients is a testament to how amazing he is. If you want someone to stand up for you against the BS this town can unleash, look no further. Jon is integrity, soul and (karmic) justice embodied. Period. I actually look forward to meeting with my attorney now. Enough said.

Jon has been my go to lawyer for commercial litigation and media matters. Our firm does exclusively intellectual property, and we typically do not handle commecial litigation and media cases so I look to Jon to help my client's solve these types of cases. He has never let them down.

I hold the highest respect for Jon Arnold Pfeiffer. He is a man of character, integrity, knowledge and experience. Not only was he clear and concise in his representation of the facts to our firm, his aggressiveness abolished the strategies of the sloppy and lazy attorney that brought suit against us. His effectiveness resulted in the dismissal of the case against us. He was accurate in his estimation of the legal strategies imposed and was most precise about the outcome. Mr. Pfeiffer was accessible and informative though each step of the process. I recommend Mr. Pfeiffer to all individuals and corporations in need of legal assistance. If you appreciate professionalism, honesty and straightforward communication, Mr. Pfeiffer is a first class attorney for your case!

In each matter Jon does only what is necessary to get a successful resolution. His ability to grasp facts and win in court are exceptional. I find both his writing and speaking first rate. So do courts. He doesn't engage in discovery fights that serve only to run up bills.

Every time I deal with a lawyer other than Jon I am reminded that he is head and shoulders above his peers. Jon has a razor sharp intellect and a keen interest in representing his client's interests to the very best of his ability. He brings the full weight of his knowledge and experience to bear in case prep and at trial. He is forthright, ethical, and supremely conscientious. I would recommend Jon to anyone in need of litigation counsel.
