Experienced, diligent, and honest

I was injured in a car accident and tried to negotiate my claim with the other drivers insurance company. I gave my medical records and information to the insurance company and all they did was request more information, delay the processing of my claim, and dispute my medical charges and treatment. A...ll that changed when I hired Jason. Within a matter of months, he was able to resolve my case, which helped me put the accident behind me. From the beginning, I could tell that Jason was experienced, diligent, respectful, and had my best interest in mind. I would not hesitate to recommend Jason Burton to my family and friends.

Experienced and knowledgable but also with compassion & empathy

When my wife was tragically killed by a drunk driver, my step-son and I were approached by many law firms with expectations of multi-million settlements that of course they would earn their fee on. Fortunately, we were referred by a family friend to Jason Burton. When the initial discovery indic...ated that the drunk driver's estate had no assets or big insurance policies, the other law firms quickly melted away sensing we were not worth their time and effort. At this time it became apparent what they cared about - it was about the money and not us that lost a new wife and beloved mother. Jason assured us he was not representing us to get rich off of our tragedy. He was very empathetic and patient in the following weeks, then months that we grieved. Yet it was Jason and his team of experts that eventually worked through the long process to get my step-son and me a fair settlement. I'm sure we would have received nothing if it wasn't for Jason's perseverance in successfully working through the process to leave no stone unturned. I believe God blessed us by separating the wheat from the chaff. When tragedy strikes and you need someone representing your interests, consider adding Jason Burton to your team.

Jason is a FANTASTIC lawyer

I was the victim of a car accident involving multiple cars when I was 5 weeks pregnant with twins. Needless to say this was an emotional time for me and our family. I contacted Jason upon a recommendation from my husband's coworker. From beginning to end Jason was nothing but diligent, understanding,... knowledgeable and extremely professional. I recommend Jason without hesitation hands down. He really made me feel like my case mattered - even though it was a relatively minor one. He was a pleasure to work with. If you need a lawyer in the Triangle area, hire him!

Jason is on YOUR side!

I was the victim of a car accident hit from behind by an uninsured motorist driving a rental car in VA (I live in NC). I was suffering much pain and tried to negotiate the settlement on my own since it was out of state. I was referred to Jason who had multiple jurisdiction and was incredibly gratef...ul!l From the very beginning I felt that I had been seen and heard and was very well represented. Jason ALWAYS made me feel that my case was as important as any other case he was attending to. Jason is extremely knowledgeable, easy to understand (explains in laymen terms, and very prompt and courteous. He is on YOUR SIDE! Thanks to Jason, I received a better settlement than I could have gotten on my own. Definitely thrilled to have found Jason....and referred several people to him since!

Review of Jason Burton

Jason handles a large majority of legal documents for my small business. I have never had an issue with promptness, or quality of work. In fact, Jason was able to make some suggestions in the best interest of my company outside of initial parameters of perceived need. I've known Jason since his under...grad years, but working side by side with him in business has given me great insight to the passion he has for doing everything within his power to fight for, and even the playing field for the common man or woman. That is a quality that I can get behind 100%. I highly recommend anyone needing legal help within, or out of Jason's scope of practice to contact him. If it is something that he cannot take care of directly, I can speak from experience as recently as this week, that he will work to find the right person for you as if it was his own case. Keep fighting the good fight Jason!
