emphasis on minimizing child support payments over securing a fair custody arrangement

I initially hired Jason with high hopes of resolving my custody battle effectively, but my experience was disappointing and frustrating. From the beginning, it felt as though Jason's approach was influenced by the fact that the opposing attorney was more expensive and perhaps more formidable. In t...he months leading up to the trial, Jason seemed more focused on persuading me to accept proposals from the other side rather than actively fighting for my rights. His advice on multiple occasions leaned towards settling rather than going to trial, suggesting that a trial would result in me getting even less time with my daughter. His main focus appeared to be on negotiating a lower child support amount rather than advocating vigorously for my custody claims. When we did proceed to trial, Jason performed well in presenting my case and did successfully expose several lies from my ex-husband. However, despite this, the outcome was not in my favor. Jason ultimately concluded that my ex-husband would retain primary custody because my daughter was well-adjusted and happy, which seemed to undermine the hard work and evidence presented during the trial. While Jason's courtroom performance was commendable, the overall handling of my case, especially leading up to the trial, left me feeling that my best interests were not fully prioritized. The final legal decree did not reflect the positive progress I had hoped for, and the emphasis on minimizing child support payments over securing a fair custody arrangement was disheartening. I hope this feedback helps others understand the complexities of working with Jason and the importance of ensuring that your legal representative is fully committed to fighting for your custody rights.

Best Representation you'll ever have

Excellent service, From the first day I stepped into his office I had the confidence that things were going to be ok. My case was family law and was very happy with how it was handled. Will definitely recommend him without any hesitation.

Professional & courteous

I hired Mr. Rieper to represent me regarding a modification action with my ex. He was very professional and courteous, though direct with me as it related to my case and my options. He was very good about returning my calls and emails when I had questions and/or concerns. I highly recommend Jason t...o anyone needing excellent family law representation.

Jason Rieper

Jason represented me in a personal injury law suit. He was always professional and easy to work with. He offered excellent advice that resulted in what I consider to be a more than fair settlement. He had represented me on two separate occasions with satisfactory results in both. My family uses h...im whenever we need legal representation. I have and would recommend him to friends without any reservations.

Very positive experience

Jason helped me with my divorce and to get primary custody of my kids. Jason was to the point and very matter of fact, which I appreciate in a situation such as a legal matter. I always felt that he put my kids first, in every discussion that we had, which is a priority in my life. He helped m...e see things from a different perspective when things got frustrating and kept me focused on what my priorities were. I also had an instance of running into someone that I work with, who also had Jason represent him in a divorce/custody case and also had rave reviews of working with Jason and Jenn both. I would absolutely recommend working with Jason and his assistant Jenn, they are both not only very professional and great at what they do but very good people.
