I endorse this lawyer. Jason Forman is one of the finest trial lawyers I know. He has an incredible grasp of Florida case law and is widely known for his successful post-conviction and appellate practice. He has handled matters ranging from DUI to career criminal trial work. He is honest, ethical and hard working and I would feel confident in having him represent any one of my clients. I consider him a friend as much as I do a colleague. He has also successfully worked with me on an appeal that assisted in one of my clients overcoming serious DUI charges. Truly a gentleman and a scholar.
