Review Jason Barnette

Excellent, honest, and cost efficient attorney!

Posted by

I hired Mr. Barnette for an employment matter as well as a debt collection matter. My business had gone south around 2009 and a former employee filed a EEOC complaint. While the EEOC found no cause, the ex employee sued me anyway. Mr. Barnette got the case dismissed and attorney's fees. Next, there were many creditors, collection agencies and bad debt buyers suing me. He got most of those cases dismissed outright and negotiated very favorable settlements with the few creditors that didn't dismiss. He got all of the items removed from my credit reports and kept me out of bankruptcy. He's very busy and it may take him a day or two to respond, but he's upfront, polite, and not like the typical attorney. He doesn't claim to have a magic wand and he conducts himself just like a normal Joe for all intents and purposes.

Debt settlement

Posted by

I had to repost as the first one did not appear to go through. Anyway, I hired Attorney Jason Barnette when I was being sued by CACH, LLC. He is very knowledgable and kept me informed. Mr. Barnette is a very honest man and he will get you a favorable outcome. I do encourage you to let him fight for your rights; it is very hard to go on your own. He was worth every dollar spent. I will turn to him whenever I have legal matters because I trust his expertise. God bless you & the family, Jason!

Very professional and ethical consumer protection lawyer

Posted by

I hired Mr. Barnette because I was sued by Midland Funding, Portfolio Recovery, and Cavalry SPV I. He got the General Sessions cases with Cavalry and Portfolio dismissed and got them off my credit reports. Midland was more difficult - he had to actually sue them, but he didn't charge me anything extra. He got that case dismissed, got them off my reports and got a little money for me as well which basically covered what I paid him to begin with. He always returned my calls and emails in a timely fashion. He in my opinion is not the typical lawyer. He doesn't seem to particularly like what the legal system has become and will tell you as much. He's not out to get rich. He seems to actually want to help people in financial trouble. He told me upfront about everything and that's basically how it played out. He is a devout Catholic and will tell you as much if that means anything to anyone. Again, he's just not the normal lawyer. He actually cares. I would recommend him to anyone and I have. Very good attorney and a kind man.

Mr. Barnette has represented me 3 times now

Posted by

and cannot be more pleased. I had a $15,715 garnishment reduced to $5000 because of his excellent work ethic. He had helped me previously in 2 other cases on debt. He knows the opposing counsels and how to deal with them. I would hire him in an instant to help with any debt related issue.

Debt Collection resolved for Deanna 2014-2015

Posted by

Jason Wade Barnett attorney is the most honest attorney I have ever dealt with. He told me upfront he might or might not be able to remove debt, but thought he could win for me. He spent hours talking to me anytime I asked him, because I was afraid of which attorney to choose. Thank God I chose Jason Wade Barnette in Nashville, TN, because he won everything in my favor. Jason's fees were very reasonable. He always returned every phone call or email instantly back to me asap, usually within five minutes. If you don't choose Jason you are making a big mistake. He knows the law on debt collectors. My name is Deanna, I am financially debt free only, because of attorney Jason Wade Barnette, without him I would be in debt for years. I have one more item we are working on in September 2015. He is the attorney to hire for debt collections success for me.

Unemployment Appeal

Posted by

I retained Mr. Barnette as representation when my former employer appealed my unemployment decision. I couldn't have asked for better representation, it is clear he really knows the tactics employers will pursue to seek a favorable outcome and he is a great help in navigating the unemployment hearing(s). I would definitely recommend him to anyone going through this difficult process.

A real debt defense lawyer

Posted by

Mr. Barnette has helped me deal with not only one Original Creditor but two big banks (Cap1 and Barclays) that I stood no chance of winning as Pro Se. I have been able to get very favourable debt settlement and on my way to rebuilding my credit. He is very knowledgeable about the whole legal system and knows and has a good working relationship with the other side that represents the creditors. I made a great choice to pick Barnette Law Offices for my representation.

Very Knowledgable!

Posted by

I am dealing with a lawsuit from Portfolio Recovery Associates. Mr. Barnette is very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions quickly, without demanding payment first. He told me exactly how he is going to handle the case, instead of giving vague answers that so many before him have done. He also posts free info on message boards, which I believe shows how genuine he is as a person in helping people.
