Jason Yearout Attorney

Jason is currently my Attorney on a 2 Civil cases. One as defendant and the other as Plaintiff. Jason has very good knowledge of the Law and does an excellent job of explaining how specific case Law applies to my situation. He always keeps me informed of the status and we have regularly scheduled ph...one conferences to strategize and ask my input. He returns all emails and phone calls very promptly. I am very happy to have him on my side.

Sharon, I am sorry that you had a disappointing experience. I would ask that you please call me so that I can make this right and learn how this happened to prevent it from happening again. I look forward to hearing from you and fixing this.

You will get great advice

Jason was very thorough and knowledgable, helping me understand a complex and difficult situation. And I appreciated how he reviewed my documents in detail prior to our meeting so that we were able to stay focused, organized and on task. His reading of the contracts and understanding of my situat...ion were spot-on. I appreciated his opinions and direction. He is approachable and easy to understand. Anyone would be well served asking for his advice.

Very Thankful!!

The experience of working with Mr. Yearout during our lawsuit was very positive. He was always quick to communicate any updates and explain the situation so we could make the best possible decisions going forward. I appreciated his expertise and thoroughness, and was completely satisfied with the o...utcome of our case. Jason Yearout is very professional but extremely personable so we were completely at ease with him. My husband and I would totally recommend him to our friends and family.

Personal injury lawyer | May 23

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked at Jason's firm for a number of years so I can speak from personal experience with him that he is a top notch attorney. I've had my own firm for almost 8 years now and I still refer cases to Jason and co counsel with Jason on cases. There are only two reasons I do that. First, his skill is unquestioned. He earned that skill through hard work taking depositions, trying cases, etc. Second, his honesty and ethics. I never have to worry about if he is treating a client I refer to him in the right way -- I know he is always going to act in that client's best interest. I highly recommend Jason in any area of the law he practices in as I know you will be pleased with the experience."

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.
