Excellent Attorney with a caring touch

Being arrested for a DUI is the worse thing that I have had to face. I am a professional with an extensive network of attorneys who I work with. The day after being arrested, I called several of them for a referral and discussed my case with them. In addition, I turned to the Internet and came acr...oss Jason Ott. I read his reviews by past clients and attorney Collegues. Based on those high marks, I reached out to Jason. He was quick to respond to my inquiry, right off the bat, Jason was professional in his demeanor ( I was very emotional) while explaining my options and what to expect, I felt that he was the best fit for me. His knowledge of DUI law was apparent, and at the same time, he was so respectful and treated me with dignity throughout my entire ordeal. My entire case was handled in one court appearance, and I am very grateful to Jason for having him as my attorney. I would highly recommend Jason Ott to anyone who finds themselves needing a DUI attorney or any other traffic or criminal defense.

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....

Professional, Courteous, knowledgeable, all around great DUI attorney

Let me begin by saying that when i was arrested last summer, i was a first time DUI offender. I did not know what to do, who to call, all i knew is that I needed a great attorney to fight for me, and defend my rights to get the best possible outcome. I began my search online and came across 4 differe...nt attorneys. One of these attorneys is actully on Jason's endorsement's page as well! after telephone interviews with all of them, i chose Jason Ott. Why did i choose Jason? Well, if you have had a telephone conversation with him you know why. Right from the first conversation, he was very knowledgable with EVERY question. Prior to calling these attorneys i had a list of questions to ask to see if they would be a right fit. Also, Jason has a very personable quality and cares about what your going through all the while keeping a very professional demeanor. From the moment i hired him, he began working on my case. Believe me, for the first couple of months i emailed Jason every few days with a new question about my case because of fears i had, and Jason always returned my emails within hours. No matter what question, what scenario i thought of Jason had an answer in regards to the DUI laws in the state of illinois. As my final court date neared i grew more and more confident that i was in good hands. When it was time for the last day of court i watched Jason in action. His personable demeanor as my attorney translated really well into the court room with the court personnel. Through out all my court appearances, I watched his interactions with the prosecutor. Let me tell you, i was very intimidated by the prosecutor, but Jason has this way when he talks to people, thats make them very responsive. In court he's very polite and well spoken, and respected. When he interacted with the prosecution, he always spoke with respect and he received it in return. When dealing with a court case like this, its one thing to have an attorney that is well-versed in the laws of the county and state(which Jason Ott is) but its also a great attribute to have an attorney that can be a interact well and garner the respect and trust of the court employees, especially the prosecutor. That translated well when it comes to negotiations in regards to my case. Its been almost a month that my case has concluded and I'm still in shock on how Jason got me the deal i recieved. To those people that are reading this review i must tell you, I was sure i was going to get some sort of Jail time and very severe fines. I had a very high BAC, as well as the circumstances surrounding my arrest were not typical in the worst way. Everywhere i looked online, i read that I was MORE LIKELY to recieve jail time, high fines and be denied the second chance of Court supervison,which you can only receive once in your lifetime. Did any of this happen? NO! I still don't know how he did it, but jason was able to avoid any jail time, reduce my fines to a small amount, get me court supervision, and even keep the requirements of my court supervison to a minium! After i recieved my paperwork, Jason walked me out of the courtroom and shook my hand in the hallway and wished me good luck with everything. To this day, almost a month later im still surprised how well my court case went. Jason wasn't surpised. He was always very confident in what he could deliver. In my case, not only did Jason deliver everything he said he would, he did more! I'm specifically speaking about the conditions of my court supervision. They were alot less conditions then i thought I would get. I gave Jason Ott 5 stars for an overall rating because he matched and exceeded my expectations of what I thought a DUI attorney would be. If you are reading this Jason Ott, I know i have thanked you already, but I want to thank you again for defending me, for assuring me that everything would be ok, for your patience, and for treating me as more then just a case file, but as a human being that made a mistake.
