Jason Albert Barlow

I strongly advise against hiring this attorney. From the start, it felt like his only concern was collecting payment rather than actually representing my best interests. During our initial consultation, he made grand promises and painted an optimistic picture, but the moment the retainer was paid,... the entire dynamic shifted. Communication became almost nonexistent, phone calls went unreturned for weeks, emails were ignored, and any brief update I managed to get felt rushed and dismissive. Worse than the poor communication was the sheer lack of competence and preparation. He repeatedly missed deadlines, scrambled to review basic case details right before critical discussions, and showed zero strategic direction. Despite doing the bare minimum, and doing it poorly he was aggressive and relentless about billing, charging exorbitant amounts for routine tasks that delivered zero tangible value. Hiring him cost me significant time, unnecessary stress, and thousands of dollars with nothing to show for it. Look elsewhere for legal counsel, you will not get the dedication, professionalism, or competency you pay for here.

Hired Mr. Barlow to do a criminal case in Chesapeake, he came and saw me two times before only to make sure I knew he wasn't going to do anything until he was paid. Which is understandable, I wouldn't expect him to do it for free but as soon as he got my money never heard back from him to discuss my ...case until minutes before we went into court. He told me what we had discussed earlier and what I had paid him to do he was no longer going to do that and he advised me to do something else. I took his advice and have to go back to court in another month. Now I call his office to ask him about the next court only for him to tell me I now owe him more money to go back to court. Worst experience I've ever had with an attorney and I've had more than enough to know the difference between a good attorney and a bad one. He's supposed to be good in Chesapeake but was the furthest thing from my experience.

Snatches my check from from Secretary, cashed within a day. And 6 months later says " I can get u a court as soon as u basically do all the legwork".Worst experience of my entire life! If u want any chance of having a fair trial I recommend not trusting this so called lawyer. I'm going to the bar hop...ing to get my hard earned money back, I'd be better Off defending myself.
