Awesome Attorney

Jason helped me with an injunction case and was successful. Case was dismissed. This will help in another related case. I recommend this attorney!

Excellent Attorney!

This lawyer helped me through a dependency case in which I was wrongfully accused. I got my children back and the children are happier than ever. Had a great Christmas with all the help the community provided during some hard economic times - all thanks to Jason. I would always recommend him.

Mr. De Groot is incredibly well versed in numerous aspects of the law. He has provided invaluable services in numerous civil cases as well as probate proceedings. When I have a legal situation that requires assistance, he is only a phone call away and will bend over backwards to assist. He is extreme...ly affordable and has a can and will DO attitude. Simply put, I highly recommend him. I have used his services on numerous occasions and will continue to do so for a very very long time. 5 stars.

Mr deGroot has been my lawyer for 20 years. As a business man this relationship would have never lasted this long had he not been qualified to handle both business and personal legal affairs. I have found him very competent in matters pertaining to law. He comes highly reccomened from me.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2000.

Admonishment issued in FL, 2000

updated on 06/26/2012

An admonition means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar gives the lawyer an admonition in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

R. Jason’s comment:

“A private reprimand for not getting out to the jail quick enough to speak with a criminal client. Got him a great deal too.”
