THANK YOU!!!
I am in awe of this very fine attorney, who is honest, ethical, and very down to earth. I met him and he was not able to take my case as he said I can handle it myself and there is no need to pay him to do it. He guided me and was very helpful to my needs and respectful towards me. I give him an A+ all the way!!! Thank You, Jason!

Highly recommend!
Jason handled my college daughter's moving violation in Roswell. He was very customer-centric and responsive. I was amazed that I was able to talk to him directly instead of paralegals or something, as have been the case with previous lawyers I dealt with. He is personally involved. He made great recommendations to deal with the ticket, went to court on her behalf (UGA student), and got it dismissed. What more could you ask for? Highly competent, timely, and delivers results. I would highly recommend everyone to use him. Completely satisfied father

Jason was immensely helpful!
Jason was a lifesaver after I got into a tiny fender bender and had to go to court! He was very up front about the process and fees and even gave me the best AND worst case scenarios so I knew what to expect. I would definitely call him if I were ever in a bind!

Great Attorney! Highest recommendation
Jason helped me with two traffic citations from Cobb County Police. One was a texting while driving and the other was failure to maintain Lane. I felt Jason charged me a very fair rate for his services. He encouraged me to be proactive and take a defensive driving class which I did. Even though I was nervous, he remained calm and reassuring and said he'd do everything he could to assist me. He was able to get the texting while driving not processed. In other words, thrown out. He also was able to work with the prosecutor to get the failure to maintain Lane reduced to a basic rules of the road violation with no points. While I could have been facing up to $400 in fines, he was able to work it out where I paid $155 and that included all fines and court costs. I'm so appreciative of his help, as instead of having 4 points on my license, I am able to keep a great driving record with no points on my license. This was very important to me as I drive for Uber and Lyft part-time. Furthermore, I also drive for my day job so having a clean record it is very important. I am confident that not only did Jason do an excellent job but he also saved me money as the fines I could have paid and the raise in my insurance would have cost me a whole lot more. Now, while each case is different and no attorney can guarantee success in any case, I feel Jason McLendon did an excellent job and I would not hesitate to hire him again. I would recommend him to anyone for any legal matters they may be facing. I'm very happy that I hired him and had him in ny corner after I made an error in judgment and thankfully this one incident didn't wind up being something that would cost me for years to come on insurance and possible employment issues. Hire Jason McClendon today!

Defense Review
My lawyer went above and beyond what was expected. I was put in a very tough predicament. With his help, I was able to find a way out. He was very respectful and respected by others. He got all my charges dismissed. He helped me get into a program that will give me help that I needed. He didn't fail to do anything he was suppose to, and I'm glad to have him on my side.

Traffic offense
Jason did a great job handling my traffic court case. He was able to get the prosecutor to drop one of the charges which was an inappropriate charge and to reduce the other one with no speeding points on my license. I greatly appreciate Jason's assistance and will most definitely recommend him in the future.

Great service
If you need a defense Attorney, one who cares for the client, one who will go the extra mile, I recommend Jason McLendon. Jason was there for my family when we really needed him, he offers sound and realistic counsel , and he doesn't make unrealistic promises. So far my best experience with an attorney.

BEST decision you can make after a DUI
From day one Jason was very straight forward and his confidence shined through on my case. There was never a day where I second guess or stressed over my representation. Jason kept me in the loop during the entire process. With the smallest development in my case I would hear from Jason every time. He was promptly on time to our court hearing and made me feel at ease. Our first meeting Jason told me the best possible outcome for my DUI case. The results were just what he said they would be! I am very satisfied with the level of service that I received. I would recommend Jason to all my family and friends. He is sharp, and knows his stuff! 100% Satisfied!!

Even at the Eleventh Hour
Now I do not recommend that anyone wait until the last minute, in my case I travel extensively for work and before I knew it my trail date was approaching. I reached out to Jason and he immediately he provided me with the legal advise that I needed. He worked off hours to accommodate my schedule, and I was most impressed with his honesty regarding my case which was a Failure to Yield citation. My goal was to have that charge reduced and to eliminate any drivers points as this citation comes with an automatic 3 points . Not only did he accomplish this, as I mentioned earlier my travel schedule prevents me from being flexible and on the date of my trial I was out of the State. Jason was able to defend my case without me there, there were no points and his fee to represent me was favorable. Following the case, I received a voicemail, email and a hard copy of the outcome of the case. Hopefully I never have to require the legal assistance of an attorney in the future, but if I do, I will definitely call Jason first. Thanks Jason!!

Speeding and traffic ticket Attorney | Feb 12

"Jason is an outstanding attorney. I've had the opportunity to shadow Jason and he has taught me alot about being an honest, ethical, and hard-working attorney. For starters, Jason is an honest attorney. I've witnessed him turn down potential clients based on the fact that he knew there was nothing substantive he could offer to help them with their case. Rather than taking the potential client's money, Jason honestly advised them of their options, including their best option despite it not leading to his employment. That speaks volumes about his character. Furthermore, Jason is an extremely hard-working attorney, dedicating weekends and nights to his clients to ensure that he is providing exceptional representation to each one. Jason is definitely an asset to the legal community."
