JASON COKER - Miracle Worker

Jason Coker is nothing short of a miracle worker. I retained him to represent me in a DUI case in October 2014. I knew he was the right attorney for me from the first minute I spoke to him. His calm demeanor and expertise with DUI cases automatically put me at ease and made me extremely comfortabl...e. He stayed on the phone with me for over 1 hour and answered all of my questions and took me through step-by-step details. I was so trusting of his skills that I honestly didn't feel the need to check-in as I was confident in knowing that he would handle everything. With one retainer fee (with no hidden costs or charges) Coker handled court appearances on my behalf, etc. This was a huge benefit to me due to my extremely busy work and travel schedule. But that is not why I call him a miracle worker. My BAC was .12 which means that it is automatically deemed as a DUI. Through his genius, Coker negotiated a reckless driving charge versus a DUI. This was unprecedented in his career and is pretty much impossible for any attorney to do. With every attorney I had interviewed prior t hiring Coker, all had said I had no chance of getting of getting a DUI charge. Thanks to Coker, I do not have a DUI on my record and my fines are extremely lower. I am very happy to say that I made the right choice in choosing Jason Coker...BEST OF THE BEST and WORTH EVERY PENNY!

The best decision of your life.

You've made the terrible decision to drink and drive, and you got caught. It's a terrible feeling, I know. Especially if you're anything like me, and you've never been caught for doing anything illegal in your life. You feel hopeless, humiliated, as though you'll never shake the shame. Counteract... some of that negativity with a positive decision. I have already done the Google searches, and I have experienced first-hand that Jason Coker is what you need. With my case, I think it's safe to say he went above and beyond the job description. He handled everything for me and took the time to keep me posted on every detail. He even gave me his personal number, and answered my undoubtedly annoying questions after hours, and he was happy to do it. During my suspended license, he needed me to sign some paper work, and it was really hard for me to get there, and he was gracious enough to drive me in his car to get the paperwork notarized and take me back home. He not only did the best he could for me legally, he was truly a decent human being who made me feel like a person who simply made a mistake. Stop wasting your time and call him up now for your free consultation, and you'll see for yourself.

Honest, Effective and Reliable

Jason was a terrific asset in my case. He was there to answer all my questions every step of the way, kept me informed and explained to me what was happening. His reliability, confidence and honesty made this whole experience much better than expected. His work was very professional and on point. He... was very knowledgeable and responsive throughout the entire process. If you need a lawyer, I highly recommend him.

Highly Recommended!

Jason Coker is a great lawyer! I hired him to represent me for my DUI case, which he handled very efficiently while keeping me calm and informed. I felt that he was very clear and patient with me in explaining my options, and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in leading me in the right direc...tion. In addition to guiding me through this very confusing and stressful situation, he was able to get me an excellent plea bargain. I definitely recommend him!

My Recommendation

Through the nightmare of getting a DUI- I felt that everything was taken care of, no worries about taking off work for court dates nor did I have to see the judge, when I had a question there was always someone quick to respond at any time of day. I even received additional council on handling work a...nd my DUI situation. I recommend Jason Coker 100%. Definitely wouldn't have been able to get through this time peacefully without the help of my attorney. Never did i feel embarrassed to ask a question or obtain information. I was regularly updated on the status of my DUI and I was educated through my attorney of the Do's and Don'ts which was tremendously helpful- I would've been lost without my attorneys assistance. Thank you for all of you help!!!!! I believe i was very blessed, it could've been a whole lot worse. Of course there are consequences to face, but they are minimal and will be of the past soon!
