Posted by Whitney | May 17, 2019 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Estate planning documents

Jason drew up a complete set of estate planning documents for my grandmother. He answered all of her questions and explained to her how the documents would uphold her wishes in different situations. It took a lot of worry off of her, and he charged her a fraction of what other lawyers quoted her. We ...were both very impressed with him.

Conservatorship Case

Due to the sudden loss of my mother-in-law, Jason F. Hicks handled a conservatorship matter for us concerning my sister-in-law, whom is a mentally handicapped disabled individual. This was our first legal matter we had ever been engaged with on a personal level, so for us this was a big deal for our ...family. Jason's communication with us was great, and his expertise was spot on! Anyone looking for a lawyer should most certainly consider Jason F, Hicks for their legal needs!

Very Attentive

Jason helped me with a custody modification case. It was stressful to me, but he always took the time to answer my questions and reassure me. I was very pleased with the outcome of the case as well.

Outstanding!

Jason Hicks loves the law and is excellent at examining issues from all sides to the benefit of his clients. He is thorough and has an excellent rapport with his colleagues in the legal profession. He has had great insight to my legal needs.

Posted by Susan | October 12, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Jason handled everything efficiently and effectively.

Once my divorce was final, Jason successfully handled getting my QDRO completed. There were some issues that occurred (before Jason was involved) that required a new QDRO to be submitted. Jason was prompt in getting everything completed, ensured everything was correct, and kept me informed throughou...t the entire process.

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.
