Terrific lawyer who goes above and beyond

We hired Jason to represent my aunt in a vehicle violation/immigration matter. Jason was wonderful since he spoke spanish and my aunt did not speak english. Jason was very helpful and attentive to my aunt's case. He kept constant track of her status. He always made sure that we had a plan for any ver...dict that my aunt may get. Thankfully he was successful in releasing her and she is now on a path to a better life.

Unprofessional

Hired Jason for my husband VOP. He failed a drug test. jason Rios has no clue what’s he’s doing. My husband is classified as a violent felon with special concern. So he has to have a danger to community hearing. Jason made it out to be a huge deal. P.O. recommendation is to continue drug class. Jason... couldn’t even get treatment plan from counseling. I had to go get, a release form take to the jail while they had my husband sign that he can get them, and he still hasn’t gone to pick it up! Then his last court date there was a offer and he would not tell him nor I what it was! so my husband called his office later that day and they told him he was busy to call later. Later came no answer. Next day called, because that is his right to know what their offering, put him off again. So he had his mother do 3 way and guess who answers the phone , Mr Rios. As soon as my husband said something Jason said he feels like my husband is harrasing hi I'm and he's going to take him self off the cast! I will never recommend him to anyone, not even my worst enemy. Guest im going to have to take him to Courtney to get my money back, because I feel he has stolen my money. Save your money, hire someone else

Unmatched Professionalism

I hired Jason to represent me in a domestic case in which I was wrongly arrested for. He studied my case with the utmost delegence to find solid evidence of the wrongful arrest and worked tirelessly in order to bring the truth to the surface. When Jason talks in the courtroom everyone listens, he spe...aks firmly with an informed demeanor. I trusted in Jason from the very first conversation we had and he followed through with his commitment to having my best interest in mind at all times. Lee County's best defense attorney in my eyes.

Above and Beyond

I got arrested for DUI while vacationing in Ft. Myers. The arrest happened on Saturday, and I needed to fly home to the Midwest on Monday. I no longer had a rental car, nor my out-of-state drivers license. Fortunately, I found Jason. Jason went far above and beyond what any other attorney would h...ave done for me. He immediately started working on my case that weekend, and explained everything in detail. Furthermore, he spent his Monday driving me from location-to-location, to make sure I had everything taken care of in FL before I returned home. No other attorney would've even considered going this far for a client. Jason is a top-notch attorney who will fight for his clients, and truly cares about them as people. I'm still amazed how far he went out of his way to help me. I'm lucky to have him as my attorney and would recommend him to anyone!

Best trial lawyer ever.....

In 2014 I was arrested in my driveway for DUI. After reading my discovery papers I felt the case should go to jury trial. My friends and family said I should hire a private attorney, because they felt that the case was beatable and a public defender would try to talk me into signing a plea bargain. ... After to talking to my public defender (Jason Rio's) that was assigned to me by the court I had a good feeling. Even though Jason was a public defender he told me from the beginning that this case was beatable and said he couldn't wait to get the arresting police officers on the witness stand. He wasn't joking. He tore into the officers testimony during trial like a scalpel and we beat the case in front of six jury members.
