Best Attorney

I cannot say enough great things about Jason Horton and his legal assistant Theresa. From the very beginning, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion, and dedication in handling my case. Mr. Horton is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and patient. He took the time to explain every...thing in a way we could understand and made sure all of our questions were answered. His attention to detail and commitment to doing what’s right truly set him apart. Theresa was equally amazing—kind, responsive, organized, and always willing to help. Her communication and support made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. Together, they make an outstanding legal team. If you are looking for an attorney who is professional, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about his clients, I highly recommend Jason Horton and his team. I am beyond grateful for their hard work and exceptional service.

Thank you Jason Horton!

We hired Mr. Horton to represent a young family member facing minor criminal possession charges while attending college. He thoroughly reviewed the facts of the case, promptly engaged with the appropriate authorities, and achieved an excellent outcome. The matter was resolved efficiently, with no jai...l time and no lasting criminal record. We are grateful for everything he did for our family. Based on this experience, Mr. Horton is the criminal defense attorney I confidently recommend.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
