Jonathan Ames
Lancaster,CA
Summary
Now married for 30-years, I specialized in real estate, land use and governmental affairs law and the firm I created in 1986 represented more than 1000 clients over 3-decades. (www.AmesGroupUSA.com) After retiring in 2014, we traveled and enjoyed our three horses on our small ranch in Leona Valley but now, with the rapidly increasing CPI and inflation, these turbulent economic times require additional income to support our savings. And yes, I realize that I'm over-qualified for the position but it's local.
