Best Lawyer Ever

Honestly this is the Best lawyer for hard to win cases. If your down bad on your luck and have a case that looks like you’ll be doin immediate jail time Aycoth is your guy. I hired him on a Felony Possesion Firearm and Multiple Assault with Deadly Weapon Offenses and I was acquitted of all Charges. G...ive this man a call.

Best Attorney AND an Awesome Person

I first contacted Jason with a outstanding warrant for failure to appear at a court for a misdemeanor marijuana possession. I was skeptical because I've never worked with a attorney before and had heard that they're all scum and money hungry. After speaking with Jason on the phone for the first tim...e, I immediately knew that he was different and really cared about people and helping them. He gave me an EXCEPTIONAL retaining fee to get my warrant withdrawn and take on my case to get it dismissed. While other attorneys were trying to charge me over $1500 for my very small case, he made it super easy for me to hire him. Taking care of my case was a very long process, because in the middle of handling my case I relocated to NY. He had to continue my case every month for 6 months until I was able to make it back to NC for the "First Offender's Program" to get the dismissal. Jason not only handled my case for almost a year and a half but he never asked me for any more money than we had originally agreed upon. Every time we have spoken over the phone he has always told me, "Never hesitate to call me for anything, you're never bothering me." I've never spoken too or worked with any attorney that was so passionate about the people he works with and actually cares about how he handles those people! I would definetly recommend him,and the rest of his firm, to anyone with any issue in Guilford county. He will forever be my favorite attorney! If I could give a higher rating I would!

Awesome Lawyer

Contact Jason last year due to some trouble I got into with shoplifting. I had a prior charge for the same offense three years earlier. Once I set up a meeting with Jason he assured me that this is something he can handle. So I went ahead hired Jason to represent me. Once I did he made everything hap...pen. He informed me that I could get my prior case expunged while he continued my current case until the expungement was finished. Once my expungement was complete a new court date was set. Jason showed up and let me know my new case was dismissed like it was nothing. Throughout the whole process Jason and his associates kept me informed by phone and letters with updates. Anytime I needed to get in contact with him with further questions he was always there to answer. He had definitely been one of the best lawyers I've ever had.

Best Attorney in Greensboro

I met Mr. Aycoth in 2014 through referral from a close friend. I had already heard so many good things about him i honestly didn't think he could out do their presentation of him but he did. He makes you feel comfortable about your situation and that your 100% in good hands. I've had other attorneys ...in Greensboro before but honestly there's not one attorney who cares about you and your situation as Mr. Aycoth does. He is not like most lawyers who are just after money. He truly has the best interest in you & your situation. I can tell you since meeting Mr. Aycoth he is very hardworking, sincere, emphatic, and very diligent because Mr. Aycoth goes over and beyond for his clients. I was wrongfully accused at the end of 2016 right before Christmas. Facing multiple felonies I lost my job and missed out on alot of opportunities and didn't know if i would bounce back from it. It was a Stressful situation knowing you love what you do and have a family to feed. I told Mr. Aycoth the situation and he told me Dont stress yourself J i got you. He's a man of his word and long story short Mr. Aycoth went over and beyond to made sure my name was cleared and helped me get everything back on track. He keeps in contact with you whether he calls you or sends you a email and also is at every court date. I promise you he is the best in this area by far and u can't go wrong with Mr. Aycoth. His work is beyond 5 stars.

Great Attorney in Greensboro

Mr. Aycoth, who insisted I call him Jason, was hired by me to help with my only ever criminal misdemenor charge. I researched lawyers and his great reviews convinced me. From the moment I met with him, he was genuine and sincere. He worked very deligently for me and talked me through the process. Thi...s was my first time being charged with anything and I was very nervous. I did what he asked and he worked very fast on getting my case dismissed. As soon as it was, I was relieved. He always answered my emails and called me back when I had questions. His fees are good and I would hire him again.
