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+ ...

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...
"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."
