Jason Burton is an excellent attorney

Jason handled my case and did an excellent job. Jason along with Mike Maurer handled my case in a professional way and with dedication. I highly recommend Jason Burton.

I could not be happier

After I was struck and run over by a drunk driver, I tried to find a lawyer to represent me, but I was instead met only no callbacks and vague statements that their caseloads were full. Apparently my case was not simple or easy enough for other attorneys. I had just about given up trying to find repr...esentation when my father found the excellent reviews for Jason Burton and suggested that I give him a call. I'm exceedingly glad that I did. Jason was incredibly professional and helpful during this particularly stressful time in my life. Jason listened carefully and provided excellent advice. I could not be happier with my choice of attorney. Because of Jason's efforts, I was awarded the maximum amount possible from both the drunk driver's insurance company and my own insurance plan's under-insured motorist coverage. While I at first felt hopeless about being able to recover anything from the insurance companies, Jason turned that around. I highly recommend Jason Burton for any personal injury or accident case.

Bar Injury w/ Bouncer

Late last summer, I was severely injured due to an unexpected “tustle” with a bouncer who blindsided me and hit me square in the jaw. I had no part of the altercation that happened outside of the bar that night and unfortunately got sucker punched by a huge bouncer. I went straight to the E.R. thinki...ng this man had broke my jaw. Luckily months later, I recieved video evidence from someone spectating. I was not sure that anything would settle because of them being bouncers at a well established bar.... yet Jason was able to hear my case and help me settle with more than what i had endured. He listened to the full story and believed in me, gave me good advice and had excellent communication through the entire process. Jason is extremely good at what he does and I HIGHLY recommend giving this man a call for anyone with a personal injury!!

Height of Professionalism

Mr. Burton was instrumental in achieving a satisfactory settlement in my personal injury case. His good guidance was not only a comfort along the way but more importantly he explained the judicial process in layman's terms and answered any and all of my questions in a timely and thorough manner. My i...njury was the result of a recreational airplane crash. Even though I signed a waiver, enough evidence was brought forth to show there was negligence leading to the settlement. As a retired business executive I know a bit about excellence in the legal and business world. Mr. Burton exemplified this attribute. It was a pleasure working with he and his group.

Rear-ended MVA

I was referred through a family member and we could not be more pleased with his service. I had never been in a car accident before, he walked us through every step of what we needed to do and what he was doing. He maintained weekly updates and contacted all insurances, hospitals, and parties involve...d. It still took over a year to resolve but that was insurances and hospitals, he was on top of getting paperwork and bills done. He got every bit of money he could and worked with delineating the money as well. Absolutely recommend this lawyer!
