Poor Quality

I retained Jason Ponder for an emergency custody situation and to terminate child support for a child that was turning 18. It took 3 months before any paperwork was filed for the emergency custody. Over the course of 18 months no court dates, mediation or solutions were ever established. I spent near...ly $7000 for Jason and Ayo and Iken to accomplish absolutely nothing. He rarely returned phone calls and did not answer his phone. I understand people are busy and I am by no means a pest when trying to make contact. I would leave a voicemail or send an email and would wait 3 or 4 days and try again. His assistant when contacted had no idea what was going with my case and continued to setup consultations as if I wasn't already a client. I would not recommend this firm and in particular Jason Ponder to anyone.

Prior client of Mr. Ponder

Mr. Ponder is an exceptional attorney, a very focused, informative, and attentive lawyer. Through the process Mr. Ponder maintains a forensic memory of case details even as those that had been provided during the initial consultation call. Mr. Ponder is a very decent lawyer and his personal demeanor ...is one that brings a level of understanding as like from a long established colleague. Mr. Ponder will ensure that you are represented professionally. I highly provide my appreciation for his service to my case.

Excellent Choice

Mr Ponder handled my family legal matter with the upmost professionalism, integrity, honesty and care. Our outcome was favorable! He answered all our questions and addressed all of our concerns in a timely manner. Our family is very grateful for all the hard work and dedication!

Absolutely the best

Jason understands the mind of a narcissistic abuser. But he also understands the mind of a person who has had to live with such a person. It is good to not have to explain or defend yourself. You know if Jason represents you he will fight for you. Thank you Jason.
