Waste of Money

Hiring Jason Whatley is the worst choice I could have made. He dragged my case out for 3 years, fleeced me for over $22,000, told me he could get me out of paying child support for my disabled daughter even though I had no legal grounds, embarrassed himself in front of TWO Williamson County judges be...cause he was glaringly unprepared, and more. I have no idea where he put my $22,000+ because it was definitely not hours he spent on my case. In the end, I had to pay my ex-wife’s attorney’s fees. Get someone else. ANYone else.

I wouldn't go anywhere else

Jason is a great lawyer and he is extremely knowledgeable in the law. He is unbelievable on point in court. He does a great job at painting the truth for everyone to see. He has many years of experience which shows in his strategy. He is a very honest lawyer. He did not try to be underhanded, he was ...always very upfront. He was my 2nd lawyer, as my first did an awful job. My case was one of the most unusual cases, probably ever. And that is putting it mildly. He worked tirelessly on my case to correct the injustices that were previously done. The intricate details that surrounded my case, I would not have trusted any other lawyer to do as well of a job as Jason did. Jason completely turned my case around. Jason did a great job through the process of explaining his reason, thinking, and legalities of what we were doing, why we were doing it, etc. His staff and he treated me like family. Jason is an extremely busy lawyer; for reason, hes amazing at what he does. I truly believe that if I had any other counsel, my case would not have been as successful as it was. In fact, it originally was not until I retained him. I have never seen a lawyer who truly cares about doing what is right; more than Jason. He is not about doing underhanded things just to win a case. And he will fight for what truly is the best interest. He is not going to do something that would intentionally harm the individuals involved in the case just for the sake of winning. He cares about justice. He is a man of integrity, and that truly shows in his practice.
