Great lawyer

Best attorney

Let me start off by telling you Jason is not your typical lawyer liar. Jason is actually an attorney who cares. He puts effort in his work and also takes the time out to speak to you without saying you owe him $1000 for a phone call. I’ve dealt with a lot of attorneys in my life as far as getting retired from a city job, As far as getting Social Security disability and Worker’s Comp. They all deserved that title lawyer liar. Not Jason, he did my red flag trial , Why a malicious doctor And his 24 hour on-call bully Lawyer decided to make false claims to have my firearms taken under his new horrible unconstitutional red flag law. Of course Jason won my case and my stuff is back in the safe where it’s been for 10 years not bothering anyone, but just because of a bad review my stuff was taken in an instant unconstitutional law. Not only would I consider Jason a great attorney but I now consider Jason a friend and that is more important than any case, because people like Jason are hard to fine. I’m glad I found him and I am happy That he not only won my case but we caught the other attorney in many lies which now makes a countersuit more important to me. And also give me the ammunition I need for malicious prosecution counter suit. So everyone reading this if you need a great attorney with a great attitude and a heart of gold Jason is the right person. Most get a bad name because of them going to bed at night dreaming of $ I’m not having any compassion , Totally different when you hire Jason. I give Jason five stars and if I can give him 10 he would definitely get that much.

You are an absolute amazing lawyer.

Jason, thank you. Seriously, no words could ever express to you how much gratitude, respect, and appreciation I have for you. I hung up, and cried like a baby..not because of what happened but because you had my back that entire time and I would be sent off to prison if it wasn't for you. You don't look or treat me as a criminal and that means so much to me. I respect you to the fullest and never forget how hard you have fought for me for over a year. your amazing. I admire you so much. You have shown me what a real attorney really does, and always asked and made sure how I was doing, and trusted what I had to say to you, always. You made me feel worthy. Not only did you do your job incredibly, you took your time to sit, listen, and talk with me. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication, Jason. You are absolutely amazing.

Excellent

" I need a good Lawyer "! How many of us have had to make that dreadful call. Filled with anxiety and fear of the unknown we desperately reach out for someone to assure us everything will be OK. The receptionist said " you came to the right place we have Great Lawyers! " Your lawyer will be Jason Seidman. Our case was not an easy one as it involved extradition. Information that I needed and what to expect with many "what ifs" were fed back to me immediately by Nelly, Jason's assistant. This type of Spirit to Serve is rare. It meant a lot to me, someone cared. The big day " court day ", Jason demonstrated his real talent! Backing up his experience with the prosecutors and the Judge he was able to completely have my son cleared and freed in record time. Those of you that have gone through this experience can relate to how wonderful a feeling it is. So no need to just settle for just any legal representation when you can have the very best with Jason Seidman of the Jonathan Marshall Firm!

Posted by Jay | February 12, 2019

One of the best lawyers!

Jason has been the only one I could come to in my 3-year long case. He has been there every step of the way ever since the beginning. It has been a scary 3 years and I had the possibility of going away to Prison for a long time. Jason got me the best solution possible in my situation. When choosing a lawyer at first it's hard to know whos right, but just know Jason will do his best and fight for you the whole way until the end. You won't regret hiring him!

Went Above and Beyond!!!

Mr. Seidman helped with my matter in a very professional way. He was very informative, knowledgeable and guided me through the process. He was very patient with me and promptly responded to my e-mails and phone calls. I would certainly recommend his services to anyone who needs his area of expertise. Thanks Jason!

Best Advocate

Thank You Jason, Thank you Brett, for fighting my legal battle. I made a mistake that you were able to correct. This mistake could have destroyed my career or worse put me behind bars. Jason believed in me, he was able to separate the meat from the bones and he never gave up on me or my case. I was found not guilty and innocent in the court of law. Thank you Jason! I recommend you to my friends and family.

Got the job done.

I was charged with drug possession with the possibility of some serious consequences. They were able to get me and outcome that I was very pleased with. Definitely would recommend.

Posted by Zach | March 2, 2018

Extremely thorough! Amended my case from a felony to an ordinance!

I was referred to Jason through an amazing lawyer I know in Miami. Jason was extremely detail oriented and emotionally involved in the case. He was quick to respond and helped explain everything throughout the process. Jason got my case brought down from an Assault and Robbery to a Disorderly Conduct. I ended up just having to pay a fine for a charge that carries a max of around 10 years. I would recommend Jason to anybody that is looking for legal representation in Middlesex County. Can’t thank him enough!!

Highly recommend! Professional and persevered through our difficult case.

Jason was our lawyer for a very complicated and difficult legal situation. He did an excellent job of explaining things at each step, and staying positive and persevering during some of the harder moments. He used every possible resource to create an outcome that was beyond our expectations. He has our highest recommedation.

Posted by anonymous | February 23, 2018

Highly recommended

The process was long and achieving the outcome we wanted was unlikely. But Jason was able to ultimately do so, while being straight-forward and supportive along the way.

Attorney review

He helped me obtain a favourable outcome in my case when I didn't even think it was possible. I highly recommend his services.

RESULTS = WHAT MATTERS MOST

This isn't a business based on effort...no one gives you a participation trophy in a court of law...you either succeed, or you fail...and choosing the right counsel can make all the difference. Working with Mr. Seidman, I felt like my case was important...like he had skin in the game, whether we won or lost...like I wasn't 'just another client'. Certainly, I was pleased with the effort - he was well-prepared, and able to help me focus on putting my best defense forward. I felt like I was given every opportunity to WIN...and win, we did. I would recommend Mr, Seidman to anyone seeking the very best...someone who has got your back, and can both plan and execute strategy, but also a guy who can help you WIN...not just "give it his best shot". I rated him five stars - and you can retain him with confidence that you will, too.

Jason Helped me Win a long standing case. Victory!

Jason Seidman was instrumental in helping me fight a longstanding case vs The State of NJ. He was very well versed in what was necessary to present, which avenues to take, and ultimately we prevailed victoriously. I am very thankful to having had him in my corner. Highly suggested!

Traffic Lawyer

Received a 4 point moving violation ticket, while on PDP! I decided to hire this law firm after a free phone consultation. Mr Siedman reviewed my driving history and gave me plenty of probable options. $89 fine and no points ordered the judge!! Excellent Lawyers!! They are definitely my lawyers for the future!!

Posted by anonymous | September 27, 2016

Attention to details and excellent follow up

Mr Seidman looked at our case and studied it well. He then worked with the Prosecutor's office to find specific waivers that were applied to our case. The end result was the least severe charges for our case. This case took over 9 months and we were very happy with the final outcome.

Grand Slam

I cannot say enough good things about Jason. I hired Jason's firm to represent me in a case where I was charged with a DUI and careless driving. I faced seven months loss of license, thousands of dollars in fines and a whole parade of other horribles. In the end, the prosecutor agreed to dismiss the DUI charge entirely, I pleaded guilty to careless driving and paid $200 with a short license suspension. Jason was tremendously well prepared. He could recite the tiniest details about my case from off the top of his head. In earlier proceedings, his firm succeeded in having the breathalyzer test suppressed (thrown out), obtained expert reports and subpoenaed other evidence to challenge the field sobriety tests. Jason presented all of this to the Prosecutor and was able to convince him to dismiss the DUI charge entirely. He also had the experience, skill and background before the Judge so that I wound up with an even shorter suspension than what the Prosecutor recommended. Indeed, the day after my arrest, things looked really bleak; but by the final night in court, Jason and his firm did such a good job that I had a strong chance of beating all the charges had I chosen to go to trial. Jason is a very smart guy with great relationships with the prosecutor and judges. He also worked very hard and knew every aspect of my case. He is also a really good guy, explains things well, and has great common sense. I owe him a tremendous amount of thanks, and this great recommendation.

"I have come across a multitude of attorneys in my time practicing the law. However, I would be hard-pressed to name a single one who is more intelligent, astute, and kind-hearted as Jason Seidman. He truly is a student-of-the-law. If Mr. Seidman is handling your matters, you can be assured that you are in competent and caring hands."

William Proetta

Criminal defense Attorney | Jun 27
Relationship: Co-worker

"I strongly endorse this attorney! This guy continues to impress me day in and day out with his hustle, dedication and knowledge of the law. Jay is the kind of guy who will never ask for a hand out - all of his accomplishments have been earned through shear determination and work ethic. He started his career as an intern at the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office and soon gained the respect and recognition of the front office and he was hired as an Assistant Prosecutor. From there he quickly rose through the ranks to become the head of the drug task force. But what I find most impressive is how effectively he has transitioned into practicing criminal defense - something the vast majority of prosecutors are unable to do. Jay is one hell of a lawyer and an all around great guy and you would be lucky to have him represent you."

Keith Oliver

Criminal defense Attorney | Nov 10
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Jason joined our firm six months ago after being a Middlesex County Prosecutor for five years. He has taken all his training and experience that he gained as a prosecutor and now uses it to vigorously advocate on his clients behalf."
