Problems Solved

Mr. DePaola's depth of knowledge and professionalism were evident by the way he handled different engagements, including purchasing real estate and fielding numerous questions/concerns related to the complex estate of a loved one. His timeliness and the rate of information flow far exceeded my lofty... expectations. As a result of my experiences working with Mr. DePaola on more than one occasion, I have absolutely no qualms recommending him, and I will no doubt call upon him again as the needs arise.

Caring and Knowledgeable

I contacted Jason to help me with the tough and sad times of caring for my grandmother in her finals months. Jason was very compassionate to my situation and helped immensely in preparing all the necessary documents for her. Jason's demeanor and compassion were a very welcomed change to the norma...l "turn and burn" attitude with which most attorneys these days approach these types of situations. I would highly recommend Jason for any and all services for which he is an expert.

Highly recommended

Over the years, Jason DePaola has handled several legal matters for my family and my business. I always find him to be extremely responsive and clear-sighted, with a solid knowledge of the law. And here's the bonus: he's personable and communicates like a human being. When it comes to choosing a lawy...er, I want someone who can put me at ease with whatever situation may arise. That's what I get with Jason.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
