Best Attorney Experience!

Extraordinary Attorney!

Jason is not only excellent, but he is also exceptional. Never have I experienced someone who went out of his way to ensure I was doing well. He followed up with me often and guided me through every step of the way. After consulting with several attorneys prior to reaching out to Jason, I felt hopeless regarding a bleak future. He changed my thinking. He worked hard for me, and my case was resolved quickly with a much brighter future. I will always be grateful for his kindness, guidance, and expertise.

Best Attorney Experience!

I'm not one to refer or recommend anyone but will say 100% best experience I have with any type of attorney and highly recommend him! He was always available or called back within minutes. He was able to do what other attorneys told me wasn't possible for a reasonable price. Definitely keeping his # and will refer to anyone needing representation.

Excellent Service!!!

Jason English is an excellent lawyer! I was arrested for an assault charge that I did not commit and he got my charge Dismissed!!! Having an assault charge would have negatively impacted my life forever. Since Jason was able to get my charge dismissed, I am now free of the anxiety of having this charge hanging over my head for the rest of my life. I highly recommend Jason English. Jason had me do my homework up front so that I when it came to face the prosecutor, he would everything in hand ready to go. I didn't even have to talk to the prosecutor or the judge, which also gave me HUGE anxiety. Jason was able to talk to them privately and get my case dismissed. Jason has changed my world for the better. He is very understanding and was able to put me at ease through the whole process. I am so glad that Jason English was my lawyer!!! Thank you so much!!!

Amazing!

After arriving from another state to Texas, my daughter unfortunately got into trouble with the law. Although I thought it was only a minor offense, by law, it could have had significant future implications. This was concerning so I called friends and colleagues for help finding a great attorney and was referred to Mr. Jason English in Austin Texas Although my daughter’s case was fairly minor, that did not stop Mr. English from taking professional action immediately. He proactively told her what needed to be done in an attempt to get her charges reduced or dropped and checked with us frequently to make sure she was completing her preemptive goals. Mr. English impressed me by how organized he was with his approach to her legal problem and eventually, to my excitement the charge was dismissed, which was the best outcome possible. Although the charge was not severe, as noted, it still could have resulted in implications with her future career and I was quite relieved by the outcome. During this process, Mr. English always answered our questions thoughtfully and quickly. He always was sincere and never made us feel trivial. The fee paid to Mr. English for his services was more than fair. I would recommend Mr. English for legal services without reservation.

Great attorney!

Jason was referred to me by a mutual friend who is also an attorney which told me his peers think highly of him. He helped my son get his case dismissed from a “poor decision” he made his freshman year in college. Communication was great. He kept us informed throughout the entire process.

DWI Case

I was charged with DWI in January of 2019. When I was looking for a lawyer, I had never been in trouble with the law my whole life. When I called Jason's office, he directed me immediately as to what the next steps were in the process, how much it was to retain his services, and guided me until my first court date. I was scared, embarrassed, and really didn't know what I was doing and Jason took care of everything. My case took 10 months from start to finish and Jason was by my side the entire time. He worked hard to plead my case from a Class A down to a Class B and no probation. I was shocked. I really thought I was going to get handed "the book" because of my alcohol content level. There aren't enough words to express my gratitude to Jason. Everything was handled and I will be forever grateful. I would recommend Jason to anyone with legal troubles. He's very well known and respected by the judges and the court system.

Best person for the job!!!

I couldn't have asked for better help/service from Jason. He is professional and a caring person.. turned a horrible situation for me into a tolerable one, and with the best outcome possible...all charges were dropped!! It doesn't get any better than that. If you need help with a DUI/DWI case.. this is your attorney!!

Dismissed!!!!

After learning that my 18 yr. old son had been arrested for assault, I contacted Jason English and explained the circumstances. Being new to the justice system I was concerned. I was initially upset and very intimidated by the actions taken by local law enforcement to issue a warrant built entirely on hearsay. I was explained very sufficiently what the next steps would be and that for the most part it would be a waiting game. Jason was quick to respond to my questions either by phone or email. I never felt like I was trying to hunt him down. I will say the initial retainer was hard to swallow, but he worked with me on a payment plan and I was able to pay the remainder out in a reasonable amount of time. I recommend Jason English to any one that is looking for criminal defense. Although I hope to not ever need his services again, I'm glad I went with him and had the outcome that we did.

Jason english DWI/ michael

I consulted with many different DWI lawyers before Jason English. Jason dropped my obviously guilty DWI case down to obstruction of a highway in 6 months! Jason didn't waste time and got exactly what we BOTH wanted. He told me what would and did happen from beginning to end.

Highly Recommend

I was referred to Jason by a family friend of mine when expressing a need for a Criminal Defense lawyer in Williamson County, specifically Georgetown. I would like to start off by saying that he was very professional, but more importantly he was helpful. I have never had any previous issues with law enforcement so I was ignorant about a lot of the processes. Jason answered all of my questions and exceeded all expectations throughout my case. He was patient and methodical about my options, and was able to get me into a Pre-Trial Intervention Program to avoid the charge I was facing. I would absolutely recommend Jason to anyone in the Austin area that is in need of a lawyer.

Great and Caring Lawyer

When I got into trouble Jason helped me get out of the situation I was in. He guided me through the steps I needed to take to get out of that situation. He showed that he cared and he was always on top of it. His work ethic is amazing and I was really impressed. Phenomenal lawyer. I definitely recommend him.

Review

My lawyer communicated very well with me, worked with my schedule, and got my criminal case solved in our favor. He was very approachable and professional which made me have more trust in him, responded to my emails within 24 hrs. I really appreciated that he worked with the judge to give me enough time to complete my requirements because he knew I was still working. I really enjoyed working with him and I would totally recommend him.

To anyone reading my review. I could not advise you to look any farther for the best lawyer. In my case I had little hope nor any expectation that all charges against me would be dismissed. Even the hope of using what little evidence that the Luling police department unjustly profiled and held me against my will wereunusable due to the arresting officer turning of his body camera and rain obscured the police vehicle camera. Jason put his fullest efforts to getting me the best outcome. I was prepared to accept the DA's plea bargain. Jason advised against it and to my utter disbelief got all charges dismissed.more than being a talented and proficient lawyer. Which in the legal profession is the best you can hope for. He frequently exceeds what more than can be expected. His price never changed. He treated me with respect and kindness. He wasdirecct and understandable in his communication. I felt as if I work is only case. I felt as if there was nothing more important to him then winning my case. I only felt that I had hired the best lawyer I possibly could and when my expectations lower then his expectations he gave me the gift of freedom. With all sincerity I could not recommend more highly any other lawyer than Jason English. If you want peace of mind if you want to know that you are being represented the fullest that you can be that there's no middle ground or settling for less than is possible. Then you should look no farther then Jason to defend you and your freedom and that is the truth.

Criminal Defense Case

Jason English did an excellent job with my Criminal Defense case, here in Austin, Tx. He seemed to genuinely care about me as an individual & I was astonished at the amount of time he invested in our case. I also enjoyed his constant communication throughout as-well. I can guarantee that he will try his best to bring favorable results to any client he works in a timely manner.

Great Attorney

DWI Lawyer

I'm am ill. I have a rare medical condition that was undiagnosed until summer of 2017. I was under the advisement of my physicians while finding out more about my health issues which caused me to have a depth perception issue (without my knowledge) when I was stopped and arrested for a DWI. I don't drink or use drugs. I take medication only as prescribed by my doctor. My case stalled. For some reason, I was a dropped ball in the legal cracks. Over a year had passed and my family and I were needing to move out of state, in stepped Jason English. Mr. English took my case and fought for me. He was able to get the Prosecutor to understand that I am a responsible adult that was only a victim of health matters. My charges were reduced to a traffic ticket. Thanks to Mr. English's hard work, I am able to put this horrible chapter behind me. I wholeheartedly recommend him for your legal needs.

The best decision i ever made!! Hands down.

Mr. Jason English is a hard working, motivated attorney that truly has his clients best interest at heart. I was accused and arrested for assault family violence twice this year. I was in a toxic relationship and the other party lied to police to have me arrested because she was simply mad. These cases would have effected child custody in custody court, finding a place to live, my career and so much more. Immediately after hiring Mr. English he was able to get one case dismissed. The second case the da wanted 2 years probation and i wouldve had an assault family violence on my record. Mr. English did not stop there. He fought for a second dismissal. Through his efforts and hard work he persevered and acheived just that. Mr.English helped me through the process explaining everything throughout in a professional manner and fought to prove my innocence. If your reading this review, look no further. Choose English&Hernandez to represent you. Thankyou Mr.English for all your hard work!!!

Professional/Competent

My grandson was issued a citation at school. I hired Mr. English to handle my grandson's case because he had the expertise and experience in the area involved. He was very responsive to my questions. Mr. English encouraged my grandson to be proactive in his defense. Mr. English collected all documentation he needed and was able to get my grandson's case dismissed. I highly recommend Mr. English as a defense attorney.
