Attorney who weighs the outcome vs the input.

Jason Covington handled this case well weighing whether it was better to have it out in court, where he felt our odds wer better or take a settlement to avoid further stress for the primary defendant who had experienced a heart attack from the early portions of this case and had to have surgery follo...wing. Jason pushed toward a settlement that would be better for the clients although he would have preferred the battle in court.

Highly Recommend JOCO Legal

Jason was helpful in getting a living will and trust setup. He was knowledgeable and made the process simple. He and his team were friendly and professional to work with.

Terrific experience

Fantastic experience even though the case didn't go the way we'd hoped. Jason Covington and staff were incredibly responsive to my inquiries and were so generous with their time. I felt like they were really in my corner and incredible advocates for me.

Estate Planning, Trust and Will

my husband and I contacted Jason to redo our trust because we recently moved from California to Kansas. In the process, my husband died very unexpectedly. Jason and his staff have navigated me through the process of redoing my trust and tying up all loose ends regarding my husbands untimely death. ... Thank you

Wills and estate planning

Jason drafted wills for my husband and me. Our estate had some twists and turns in it that took some time and creativity to work out. Jason was patient with all my questions and emails. He worked hard to make sure our intentions were reflected in our wills. At the signing, he carefully explained ...the provisions to us and answered all our questions. He wanted us to be fully informed as to what we were signing. I have recommended Jason to a couple who needs to establish a guardianship for one of their children. I highly recommend Jason.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
