If you are involved in a car accident, you may benefit from the services of a car accident lawyer, one who knows the dynamics of car crashes and can identify and weigh all the possible factors which may have played a part. For example, you are driving in the rain on an improperly graded road and an approaching car has a blow-out. It suddenly veers out of control and skids into you at 45 mph. Was it the rain, the poorly built road, the other driver (found with beer cans in the car), or the mechan

Great job

Jason did a great job with our medical malpractice case. After losing trust in our doctor, the last I wanted to do was turn to a lawyer, but thank God I did. Jason is a great attorney and a very caring person. He held our hand through 3 years of emotional lows and finally helped us get a settlemen...t. I highly recommend this attorney.

Posted by Susan | November 10, 2010 | Personal Injury

Wonderful Professional Experience

I was in a car accident in January of 2003 when I was rear ended by a semi tractor trailer truck. I ended up with neck and back injuries. I called Jason after seeing an advertisement for his firm. Since that call we have had the most wonderful experience working with Jason. I liked that he kept u...s in the loop as he progressed through the case. We never had to worry about anything. We came to know Jason both professionally and personally. He was very understanding of my injuries and what we were going through. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of a personal injury or medical malpractice lawyer.

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.
