Second DUI in Illinois

I made an awful mistake again, and got pulled over and charged with my second DUI. I was traumatized and shocked as my second offense was right after my first one. Literally like 3-4 weeks after I got off and completed everything for the first one. I was certain I was going to get jail time and subst...antial fines for my second one, especially since it was so close to my first violation. I was sure there was no avoidance of jail. I needed counsel ASAP so I decided to do some serious research online. I came across a few creepy attorneys who were trying to frighten me in order to hire them-next. Then I came across this website, and decided to give Jason Ott a call. Jason answered promptly and I informed him of my situation. He was calm, very professional and understanding; he put me at ease. He clearly described what my options were, and told me I had nothing to be concerned about. He said I won’t get any jail time, and everything is going to turn out just fine. That’s when I knew I wanted to work with Jason and no one else. As the case developed for some time, I kept checking in with Jason by phone and email quite often, and he was ALWAYS there for me with an answer within a very short amount of time (I hope I didn’t bother him too much). I couldn’t have chosen a better attorney; I honestly got off with no jail time whatsoever, and I couldn’t believe it! The fine for my second DUI was about 50% less than for my first! Seriously?! I triple checked the paper! I have no clue how he did it but he did! Jason Ott is not just an outstanding attorney but also a wonderful person to work with who truly enjoys helping others. I HIGHLY recommend Jason Ott to anyone who got themselves in legal trouble. You will be very pleased you did!

Personal Injury Claim

In March of 2012, I had a pretty serious accident that occurred due to poor judgement by the man who caused this accident. I required emergency surgery and was unable to walk for two months. After my injury, two friends offered to contact attorneys who were personal friends of theirs and get their... advise as to whether or not I had a case. Because this accident happened out of state, they both felt it would be a waste of time. Another friend called into the Saturday morning radio talk show, and spoke with Brian Dailey at the Dailey Law Firm. His opionion was that I had a strong case and suggested I call their office. Well, I'm very happy I did. Attorney Jason Ott took over my case and was very proactive with his follow-up . He worked diligently, asking all the right questions and getting answers. He also made certain that I understood how he was negotiating with the insurance company and when I could expect some feedback. As it turns out, we recently finalized everything, and I will be receiving a substantial settlement. I am very grateful for everythiing he and his assistant, Alicia, have done for me. I can now pay off my outstanding medical expenses and schedule the second surgery I need to fully heal from this accident.

My first big scare!

I got arrested my license got taking away for possibly 6 months and i was also looking at some jail time as stated by the law.I hired Jason quickly after reading some of his reviews and meeting with him at a Starbucks he told me upfront how serious my situation was and what he would be able to do.I l...eft that meeting totally confident in him and at ease knowing I hired the right attorney , especially with him basically promising no jail time and my license back asap.Well three months have passed now since my arrest I didn't get any jail time and I have my license.I couldn't've of thanked him enough when we left court that morning. I know Jason provides a service in which I as the client pay a fee for but it felt almost personal with Jason sort of like a big brother helping out a little brother.Hey Jason if your reading this thanks again..Any body out there reading this because they find themselves in a sticky situation call Jason, trust me that i trusted him....

My Lawyer

I was searching the web after my DUI arrest with nervous anxiety. I am glad I made the decison to email Jason and his firm in many ways. Within a couple hrs he had returned my query and mad eme feel way less scared. I did not flinch after he discussed and plainly layed the various laws and how they w...ould and would not affect me. Everything he told me was exactly how it happened and that alone puts him at the top of my list of most trusthworthy. I truly was amazed at his asnwers and ability to make me feel like I had defineitly chosen the right team! This was made clearer in the courtroom as Jason has a commanding and assertive way about him that demands respect... not only from the other lawyers but the court personnel as well... all looked and gave him a certain and obvious respect... most importantly ... the prosecution seemed to actually listen to and look at Jason when they were discussing my case... some lawyers seem to rub people the wrong way and the courtroom is not a place to have folks and peers who disdain you... Jason was getting back the same respect he gave... he is genuinely honest and very keen at what he does. I am very happy with the results and the outcome of my case. All went exactly as he said! I would recommend 100% him to anyone!

Jason Ott was excellent at handling my case. Jason showed genuine concern for me and making sure I fully understood the process each step of the way. Jason was always responsive to emails and phone calls. Jason continues to help me with things even though the case has gone to court. I would defin...itely recommend Jason to anyone and will do so if someone asks for a excellent DUI lawyer in the future.
