Sexual Harassment 90%

Recently, Mr. Oliver was part of the trial team in Marcisz v. Ultrastar, in which a San Diego jury awarded the four teenage plaintiff girls $6.85 million dollars (six million dollars in punitive damages plus $850,000 in compensatory damages). The trial judge granted a new trial as to the amount of damages only, based on a finding of "excessive damages." Mr. Oliver was the attorney primarily responsible for handling the appeal of the new trial order, and successfully argued for reversal.

Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend Jason. He was extremely helpful and highly efficient. He is very timely in his communications and explains everything thoroughly. His compassion and understanding in particular situations were much appreciated. I am so thankful to have had the pleasure of working with him. ... Thank you so much Jason!

Definitely a GOOD review!

Jason started immediately, handled everything quickly, efficiently, and kept me in the loop of things. He helped me out when it seemed all my doors were closed. He is professional, and he is easy to get ahold of. I was very happy with the service he provided. He is also just a cool guy to know. I wo...uldnt second guess his legal advice. Thanks for everything Jason! -Devin serna

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.
