Review Jason Reid

Red light ticket

Jason did a great job getting my red light ticket dismissed. I was just hoping to have it reduced, but he made it all go away! Thanks, Jason!

I recently hired Jason Reid for legal representation. He demonstrated complete honesty and professionalism throughout the course of my case. He was extremely competent and knowledgeable and exercised the utmost patience with my family and me while preparing us for what to expect. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is need of legal services of this nature, and I would definitely hire him in the future if necessary.

Thanks to Jason Reid

Thanks so much to Jason. I was dealing with my first (and last) DUI, and Jason was like a big brother, protecting and serving my best interests to keep me out of jail and get my life back to normalcy. Jason was readily available for all my stupid and redundant questions and always had the answers I needed. I would HIGHLY recommend and endorse Jason Reid for anyone who makes a "mistake" and needs representation. I am very proud to have known Jason and pray I never have to use him again, but he would most certainly be the first attorney to contact if I found myself in a legal situation. Thanks again, Jason.

Christina Adkins

I endorse Jason Reid, Esq. and trust him to take good care of my friends if and when they ever need a competent criminal law attorney. When a friend or two have had criminal issues arising due to their less then stellar driving abilities Jason is one of the first criminal attorneys I suggest to my friends. On one occasion, a friend had been enjoying his new sporty car and tested the quickness of its acceleration late one night without realizing local law enforcement was watching. I shared Jason's contact information and he helped my friend on the spot via a telephone call. Jason appeared in the court case and obtained a favorable judgment for my friend.
