Posted by anonymous | February 28, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Horrible communication, slow

I hired him to handle my traffic citation I received a little while back. Gave him the citation #, etc., probably the most standard case you could receive. This was early January, it's now March and everything is the same when I first hired him. He sends emails every other week or so saying he's talk...ed to this guy and that guy, but who knows, nothing ever moves forward. Just last week he sent me an email saying "send me the payment ASAP for ticket so I can get it resolved tomorrow", I send it that same afternoon. Guess what happened next? Nothing, still haven't heard back. Horrible communication, who knows what he's doing over there. Would NOT recommend. Other red flags include: paying him to have him pay the court rather than me paying the court directly, never received any plea or any other paperwork during the entire process, and Turner County court person told me I could've just called them and paid over the phone. I got bamboozled. Enjoy the $300 you took from me.

Automatic Relief! Jason Ferguson Defense Attorney and more!

After 3 failed attempts with defense attorney consultations Mr. Ferguson was the first one to listen without rushing to retainment. I can’t tell you if you’ve never needed defending how difficult it can be to tell your side of the story. Mr. Ferguson is respected by the court system and a successful ...lawyer proven by awards received by accredited organizations. I recommend him to everyone who needs defending. Before I even left the consultation I learned my rights by law and instant relief. Thank you Casey

Great man if u ask me

I would recommend him to anyone that's seeking legal help or any kind of assistance dealing with court as a person I think that he is a very great guy and me and my family will forever grateful for him.

review of Jason Malone Ferguson performance in federal case

This case involved a medical professional that was investigated by the DEA and had no legal representation during the first day and hired this lawyer on the second day after talking to the DEA and waiving Miranda rights and voluntarily giving up license. Of course this was a mistake on client's par...t. After Mr. Ferguson was contacted, he promptly responded and was hired for legal representation. He directly and honestly explained his view of the problems involved in the fact of initial lack of clients legal advice but then proceeded to quickly put together a team of experts that could and did benefit future of case outcome. He is committed to each client and cares about their legal situation. He was open to client's views but always held true to what he thought would benefit client in final outcome. His other relationships with his professional peers is definitely an advantage in his practice. His experience in personal injury area, as a prior federal prosecutor, and criminal defense practice gives him an exceptional background for his practice. But also his commitment to his client, his work ethic, and integrity are outstanding.
