Having worked with George on two matters now, I can attest that he truly cares about his clients' interests. He is prompt, professional, and bilingual! Hablo un poquito solamente! I would not hesitate to team up with George on any cases in the future!

Highly knowledgable attorney. Great asset to the legal community. I endorse this lawyer.
Colin Murphy, Criminal defense Attorney on Feb 13, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
George and I are members of a well known group of dedicated trial attorneys in the state who defend those accused of criminal offenses. He has earned the reputation as a skilled advocate who can successfully litigate novel and complex issues on his client's behalf. I would not hesitate to refer a friend or a family member to him for advice and representation.
Terry Smith, General practice Attorney on Feb 4, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. We first met when we worked together on some real esate matters in connectiion with an estate planning matter. I learned that he is a lawyer sound on the law and with extraordinarily good judgment. He is tenacious and works harder for his clients than most lawyers I know. He undertook a very controversial criminal defense matter and guided his client to a beneficial resolution. George lives in a small town and conducts a very diverse practice. He is an excellent country lawyer in the best sense of that phrase. If I needed a lawyer my first choice on most matters would be George.
Albert Amado, Litigation Attorney on Feb 3, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Mr. Jones is knowledgeable and experienced in both criminal defense and trial skills. His interest and passion for these areas show in his work. He also has a working knowledge of Spanish that, no doubt, is of great benefit in the service of his clients.
