Jason is the most excellent lawyer!

Jason Horton Law Firm is a really excellent law firm! Jason Horton is the best lawyer ever! He helped me tremendously with a case which I sought his legal counsel. Jason provided excellent guidance, handled the case with such expertise, and provided the best outcome I could hope to receive. His knowl...edge, experience, and professionalism is outstanding. He is very patient with my many questions, and helped calm my anxieties and questions with the case. His office staff (Teresa) was also very patient and provided prompt responses and follow ups to my daily questions. I’m so happy and grateful for Jason’s legal help. I highly recommend Jason and his law firm for any legal counsel and support needed. Thank you so much!

Five Star Lawyer

Jason Horton is a professional in every aspect of his practice. Jason is honest, knowledgeable and proactive when it came to my matter. His attention to detail, knowledge, and personable demeanor encouraged me to stay positive in unsure times. Jason has always represented me fully and professionally.... Jason and Teresa were both very receptive and open to communication throughout the legal process, always addressing my needs and constantly reaffirming that I made the right decision choosing him as my legal council. Jason was able to rectify accusations based on slander involving a fire arm and a crime.

Jason Horton Law Firm Rocks!

Jason was professional yet very personable throughout the entire 1 year + that it took for my case to finalize (awaiting the discovery was the reason for the lengthy case, not Jason). For anyone needing an attorney, he is a pro! I read somewhere that someone stated it's like "having Superman in you...r corner!". They were absolutely right! So, Thank you SuperJason! Also, Theresa was awesome, she knows the office, clients & cases, it was a pleasure meeting them both.

Efficient, Compassionate and Extremely Professional!

I would not hesitate to refer Mr. Jason Horton to anyone I truly cared about who found themselves in a legal bind. He is responsive and efficient, embracing all facets of secured communications technology to assure you remain well informed of his efforts on your behalf, through each phase of the pro...cess until your legal matter is completely resolved. He treats you as if you are his only client, advocating on your behalf, defending your rights, and continually working toward achieving the most positive resolution. A consumate professional, Mr. Horton navigates the legal system with confidence and expertise, assertive yet humble, the perfect mix of personality and character you want defending you or your loved ones in a time of crisis. Of my dealings with attorneys in the past, professionally AND personally, Jason Horton truly recasts the "traditional" image of lawyers everywhere. Call the Jason Horton Law Firm when you need legal assistance. I am extremely relieved we did.

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.
