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.

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 hop...eless 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.

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 char...ge 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 an...d 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.
