About Jay

After retiring from the US Air Force and US Air Force Reserves in 2003, I began my legal career at John Marshall Law School.  After graduating at the top of my class in 2007, I started my law firm as a sole practitioner.  Since that time, I've helped hundreds of clients in the areas of estate planning, probate, asset protection, personal injury and small business planning.

Review Jay Fox

Outstanding Attorney! Brought me and my family peace of mind.

Posted by

I would rate Jay more than excellent if I could. Before meeting him, I had a different opinion about lawyers and Jay proved me wrong. He is the most dedicated, talented, reliable and ethical person I know. I hired him for a specific matter and he went above and beyond my expectations. I’ve also consulted with him regarding several other issues and he’s always been clear and exact with his answers and gave me a realistic outlook on what to expect. Jay is such a great listener and hence his outstanding analysis of my situations and perfect advice on how to handle them. Jay has also traveled to meet me at places that are convenient for me at times that work for my schedule. While we all hope we’d never need legal help, life happens. I know I am in good hands when I contact Jay for my legal needs and I would recommend him for people I care about.

Jay was recommended to us by a friend and did an excellent job walking us through the process of creating our wills. He was super patient, personable, and professional in his interactions with us, both by phone and in person. We're grateful for having been referred to him.
