Jason went above and beyond to make sure I got the best outcome possible. I had very little knowledge of the law, and what to expect regarding my battery charge. He explained the whole legal process and what he intended to do. Because of his expertise I avoided fines, probation, and having a charge on my record. I highly recommend hiring Jason as your attorney!
Mr. Burkhead was a massive help. I hired him to help me with my legal issues. He was able to get my fines and time lowered all whilst helping me through very scary times. If I had any questions I was always able to get in touch with him day of night.
I am prepared to handle your DUI case through all stages, including the DMV hearing attempting to preserve your license. Early retention is important with DUI charges as some options expire quickly.
State and federal drug crimes need immediate representation. Both can have life altering consequences, frequently including prison. I am available to help you throughout the entire case.
Juvenile charges are handled differently than adult charges. I have the experience to get your juvenile through the process and to the best outcome possible.
Even accidental sex crimes can have you registering as a sex offender. I have experience with having cases dismissed or reducing the charges to ones which do not require registration.
Traffic tickets seem minor until the points on your license add up to increased insurance premiums for years. I have experience, as a police officer and an attorney to handle your traffic matters.
After spending 20 years in the USAF as a military police officer I was disappointed with the quality of police work I saw from other officers. There were too many mistakes made that compromised the rights of the suspect and the officers simply wrote around them in their report. That re-inspired me to go to law school so I could defend the rights of others. After lengthy experience in both criminal law and civil litigation, I committed myself to criminal defense. Thus, Burkhead Criminal Defense was born. My goal is to provide quality, affordable criminal defense representation.
My background gives me extensive experience in evaluating police reports and evidence. I have been certified on most of the same tools and techniques used by local law enforcement including, portable alcohol systems, intoxilyzer, and National Field Sobriety Tests among others. As a former criminal investigator and major collision investigator I have the knowledge and eye for detail to find flaws in the police reports the prosecutors use to charge defendants.

Cares for his clients
After being contacted by the police about an ongoing investigation, I immediately contacted Mr. Burkhead and consulted with him about our situation. He walked me through the steps I should take and with his advice my problems were resolved as fast as they came. He is reliable, very knowledgeable and was very quick to respond to any of my questions. I'm forever grateful.

Amazing Attorney
Attorney Jason Carroll Burkhead
fought hard for me.
He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better Attorney.
He gave my case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. He was a calming and confident presence during very difficult court proceedings.
My doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained.
I am so grateful for his passion, dedication, and professionalism.
I very much appreciate the support I received.

Honest Excellent Lawyer
Jason Burkhead is an excellent lawyer. I hired him for a specific case and he did his job so well that he also helped me clear my name from another case years back due to his diligence in searching records. He is honest and up front about the way things could play out when dealing with the law but never the less he always had a plan in place to counter any negative motions. He reassured me that everything was going to be fine and constantly told me to let him worry about my situation as it was his job to do so. He listens to your concerns as a client and buys time to consider all options. His advice was solid in my time of distress even when I wanted to take the easy way out but he fought for me and my highest good. He is awesome at what he do.
