"I was lucky enough to engage Jonathan to explore NTT Europe’s options to avoid USF taxes within the US. Jonathan instantly understood the situation with regards to our traffic type and the confusion within the US caused by ambiguous regulatory environment. He made every effort to engage with our suppliers in order to have them remove the charges from our account. In so doing he left no stone unturned in negotiations and was both incisive and tenacious in his approach, overcoming a number of obstacles in very short time and was exceptionally well prepared to counter objections put in his path. Jonathan, has achieved a great outcome for us and I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone seeking legal advice on USF and other telecommunications regulations within the US."

“I have been extremely satisfied with our attorney and the entire CommLaw Group team; very professional, responsive, and great advice. I recommend you any chance I get. I really like your focus and how you can offer more than just pure legal advice (like the CPNI audits, Compliance and Reporting, etc.). These other value added services go beyond pure legal advice and make me think of your company more as a partner that can help me in many areas, with the right expertise at the right time.”
