Extremely Impressed

My divorce is ongoing, extremely contentious, and is 2+yrs in the making. It involves child custody issues, marital property division and a contested prenup agreement. I interviewed Jason 18 mos into it, searching for an additional lawyer to my current counsel, as the case load is enormous. I spo...ke with Jason very briefly on the phone, and sent him a few documents before our first meeting. When I arrived, I was extremely impressed that Jason was already up to speed with what I was facing, and had committed to memory some of the most intricate details of my case. His attention to detail far surpassed anyone I had interviewed at that point. He was and is, confident, poised and well versed in his field. We have been to a few court proceedings since Jason came on board, with more on the horizon. Jason's demeanor and presence in the courtroom is commanding, impressive and persuasive. It has been, and remains my experience, that Jason truly cares about his clients, and has their best interest at heart. He has the ability to stay on top of every detail, in a minimal time frame, thus keeping your costs down. Don't get me wrong, he's not a 'budget' attorney, but you get what you pay for. To date, it's been worth every penny!!

Mr. Brown helped navigate me through a painful and unwanted divorce. I felt he listened to me and represented me well through what was a intimidating process.

Evan, thank you for taking a few minutes to offer your thoughts. Your situation was particularly difficult, given you didn't want things to move forward. It's always hard to strike a balance between attempting to reconcile and looking out for your interests.

A great teacher who knows his subject matter thoroughly

Not being familiar with all that is involved in the intricacies of divorce Jason was a great teacher and knows his subject matter thoroughly. I had a very difficult divorce, in my opinion, and Jason made sure we were always moving forward in a positive manner while keeping me informed of the process ...and what to expect next. I felt Jason also had unique ideas and solutions to problems that popped up and was always thinking outside of the box. He researched my case thoroughly and I felt I was very well represented by Jason. By the end of the divorce I was very well pleased with the outcome and feel that I have been able to move on with my life happier and quicker than if I hadn't been represented by Jason and his team.

Richard, it's a been a long road for you, I know. Glad to hear that you were pleased with the outcome in your case.

Great lawyer, highly recommended.

I've retained Jason's services several times since 2007 for family court issues. He helped me with my divorce and two mediations that, ultimately, gave me 50/50 time with my daughter. He's patient, thorough, and his knowledge of the law combined with his experience in navigating the court system make... him an excellent advocate for his clients. Not only is he able to use current laws to obtain the best outcome for you, he's able to piece together disparate aspects of your particular case into one complete picture. However, Jason's not a wizard. He doesn't have a magic wand, so don't expect magical outcomes if you've truly painted yourself into a corner. One of the best things about Jason is he's not afraid to tell you if an idea you have is a bad one. Jason's candor on whether the outcome would truly benefit you is one of his more valuable assets to you, the client. This is what makes a great lawyer. Lawyers are not there to do your bidding. This isn't a retail, service oriented business. If you don't listen to your lawyer, you roll the dice on what the judge may rule if you plan on going to trial. Jason is all about keeping things out of the courtroom as much as possible. This is because he's smart enough to know that once you're inside the courtroom, things get unpredictable. However, if you do go to trial, Jason is the guy you'd want in your corner. Jason is also very good at working with you in order to save costs. There's a level of trust that, understandably, needs to be built, but Jason would let me take the reigns on drafting quite a few aspects of my cases. This saved me a boatload of money and Jason would oversee the final preparations to make sure everything was good to go. Of course, he's more than happy to take care of everything for you as well. He's great at building a relationship with you, the client, which helps him navigate the best way to work with you. My one tip regarding Jason is that, unless it's an emergency, it may take him a few days to get back to you on something. He's usually very responsive, but if he's in court, expect to give him some time to get back to you. This isn't a negative ding, it's just the nature of his work. I've found that if I was prepared and planned ahead, I had absolutely no trouble getting in touch with him. Conference calls were always on time and he respected my time when the clock started ticking. I've recommended Jason to other people and will continue to do so.

Jeff, a very thorough review. Thank you for taking the time to let others know about your experience. Has it really been nine years since we started working together? Time flies!

Ethical and Honest Family Lawyer

Jason was the kind of lawyer that I was looking to represent me during a difficult divorce. He helped me to stay focused on the issues that were important to the well being of my children and defuse all the petty arguments that occur during divorce. He takes an approach that allows you to feel good a...bout how you behaved and one that is looking out for the best of the children. I would recommend Jason and his law firm to anyone who needs an objected opinion to help you through a difficult time in your life
