Personal Injury Case

Jason Reese represented me when I was struck(as a pedestrian) by a vehicle backing up in the wrong lane in a parking lot. I had a near-amputation of my right foot. Letting Jason handle our case was extremely helpful in letting me worry about healing, not how to pay medical bills. He pursued settlemen...ts from the driver's insurance, as well as my own insurance company. Jason kept us informed as to how the case was going and asked for our input when needed. After the final settlement, he actually sent us another check that came from negotiation with the hospital. We couldn't have had finer representation!

Review of Jason Reese

Jason Reese was a very caring attorney for us when we needed his services. He was always quick to respond to any questions we had as we went through the process with him. I would recommend him to anyone.

Works hard for you understand your frustration.

My son was hit while boarding a school bus. Jason wasn't pushy and his staff was so compassionate. I felt like they were family. I was worried and frustrated, and they overlooked how I took it out on them. I would encourage anyone to contact Jason and his staff, they work hard for you and your family....

Personal Injury

My husband had a medical malpractice suit. We ask Jason Reese to represent us. He and his firm were very efficient and kept us well informed as to what was happening. His staff were very kind and helpful also. The end results were successful. Not only is Mr. Reese great at his job, but he also v...ery kind. If I needed his assistance again, there would not be any question, he would be the one.

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.
