This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Terrible, lazy, money hungry, unprofessional

The worst lawyer yet the most expensive attorney I've ever had. Hes in it for the money and that's it. He's the talk of the county jail, infamous for screwing his clients over. There's absolutely no way these reviews are real. Disgusting

Posted by Eric | August 1, 2018 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Intelligent, Honest, Bulldog

No nonsense, brutally honest and unrelenting in his pursuit of justice. His intelligence is unmatched, his tenacity is unlike any I've seen. He can take your information if honest with him, figure out a plan the same day and you can count on it being so, and will not waiver. Met him outside of the ...legal arena and then used his services and that's where the bulldog came in. All business. Locally, this man can not be equalled in his profession. Will be using him again very soon.

Very dependable, and knowledgeable of the law

Jason is a team player if you are truthful and don't play games with him. He is trustworthy and does represent the best interest of his clients. He can only work with what he is given by the client. He is a fighter and knows his work, if he is unsure he researches the facts. I feel he is one the m...ost honest attorney's I have worked with. I recommend him highly.

Hardworking and dependable

I went to Jason to file a criminal matter this past summer. He was very attentive to the specific needs of my issue. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Although, at times it was difficult to get a hold of him he always made sure to get back to me either later in the evening or the next day. He ...also gave me his cell phone number so I can could call him after hours if I had any questions. He was very dependable and aggressive when it came time for trial. I would recommend him to anyone that needs to deal with any criminal matter.

Really cares about the client and the outcome

I am from Lackawanna County and got referred to Attorney Beardsley through a friend. I was seeking a divorce from my husband due to infidelity. The Lackawanna County attorneys either didn't want to take my case because I didn't have any upfront money or never returned my phone calls. Attorney Beardsl...ey was quick to answer my calls and seemed very knowledgeable with the proceedings of the case. I was also allowed to make payments which helped me out greatly. I would highly recommend him for any type of legal action.

Child custody lawyer | May 19

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I've worked on several cases against Attorney Beardsley in the last few years and I have to be honest, he is an excellent advocate. I would also define him as being honest and honorable, fair minded and guided not only by his client's needs but also by an ingrained sense of decency and a desire to achieve the right, fair result. I respect his ability and admire him as both a friend and a well-prepared, very bright adversary."

Experience

Rating:  3.1 (Caution)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2025.

Stayed Suspension/Probation issued in PA, 2025

updated on 12/16/2025

Stayed suspension/probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. This type of suspension means the attorney has been suspended, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements. In this case the State also monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
