If you need sound legal advice and counsel, I would strongly recommend you contact Jon Rankin. - Karen P.

This is an excellent person, attorney and SUPER patient. He is effective, efficient, very concerned about his clients with an excellent attitude in difficult situations. He writes well, speaks well and is not like most attorneys thankfully. He has a great paralegal, Paris, and they work together on your case without causing you more grief. - Maria L.
He is a very well qualified criminal defense attorney. - Peer Review
Jon is a very competent, intelligent, and efficient attorney hard to find in Marin! He has an excellent reputation in the Bay Area for being expeditious in managing complicated legal predicaments with an amazing paralegal, Paris. His ability to articulate himself in writing is one of his many great qualities. His rates for his work are competitive and also reasonable. His quality of work with Paris is stellar. He has represented many types of people with varied cases, but seems to be extremely competent in settling a case quickly and well without abandoning you as a client after your case has been terminated. As people, he and Paris have professional personalities and also personable. It is difficult to recommend attorneys in Marin or in the Bay Area in general who have all these positive qualities he possesses consistently. - Yelp Review
