Brilliant, brilliant lawyer

Jason took the time to understand what I really valued and wanted, so that during my divorce he could best represent MY interests. I am SO HAPPY with my divorce. It doesn't mean I got 100% of what I wanted (no one does), but I got what was most important to me, in a timely way so I could have peace a...nd move on with my life. Jason is brilliant. He was able to help me picture what I'd want 10, 20 years later for my child and for me and he intuitively knew when to push and when to back off my ex. The best review I can give is that its been a while since my divorce, and the settlements he fought for me are very solid and keep me protected today.

Excellent Attorney

Jason is very knowledgeable about his field. I was glad to have him represent me in Court and he is a skilled negotiator. All in all an excellent attorney to handle my divorce and deal with the constant issues that come up.

Smart and compassionate divorce attorney

Jason helped me get through a very nasty divorce that involved custody issues and support. He helped me protect my rights and work out custody. He is a very smart attorney and really knows his field very well. He understood the difficult valuations involved in real estate and family businesses. I... was in constant contact with Jason or one of his associates throughout the process, sometimes daily. They moved my case along and negotiated a strong settlement. Often Jason was able to "see the forest through the trees"- even when I was too emotional to see the matter clearly.

The Best of the Best

What a brilliant lawyer. Always kept me informed and has great knowledge and advise. Mr. Advocate is currently up against a snake of a lawyer and he is doing a wonderful job by keeping a few steps a head of his opponant. I have recommded him to my friends and family in need of a great divorce/ post... divorce lawyer. He is so good, a worthy opponant of his in a case recommended him to me since he was not able to take my case himself.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
