"I also had the pleasure of working with Jason at a small construction firm. All you really need to know about Jason is that he has read the entire CA Code of Civil Procedure. He may be the only person that has done so. I have personally seen his copy with sticky notes and highlights on just about every page. In all seriousness, I have worked at numerous firms with some very well regarded senior partners and founders, some who have gone on to become judges. Jason's dedication to his craft and his clients far exceeds them all. More importantly, Jason never let the high stress of his job effect his relationship with his co-workers or clients. A true and rare professional. If all this wasn't enough, Jason is also a multiple degree black belt in Ninjutsu. So if all else fails, Jason can easily beat-up opposing counsel. I highly recommend Jason."
"I was very fortunate to have had the opporutnity to work with Jason at a small litigation firm at the beginning of my legal career. Jason shared his skills, knowledge, guidance and expertise to help resolve complex legal issues and offered invaluable advice regarding career goals. To this day I am still thankful for the hard-earned lessons he passed along regarding the practice of law. Jason is a fantastic advocate for his clients. He combines experience,
intelligence and a no-nonsense approach to expertly help his clients. He is highly respected for his legal acumen and appraoch in the courtroom by judges, mediators and opposing counsel alike.
Jason served and continues to serve as both a mentor and a role model, he maintains a high level of professional competence and integrity, while exhibiting both a passion for his work and a commitment to the legal community."

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Jason for almost 15 years. He and I used to work together in a small civil litigation insurance defense firm during which I had the oppotunity to really get to know Jason both on a professional and personal level. Jason is a zealous advocate yet very level headed and even tempered both of which are great skills to possess in getting heavily litigated complex cases resolved. I would highly recommend Jason to all of my clients."
