"Mr. Cline is a very knowledgeable attorney and a very easy going person who will put you at ease during tough times. I had the pleasure of working with him for nearly a decade. During those years, I observed him to be a very smart, charismatic attorney in various prosecutorial assignments including general felonies, (guns, drugs, DUIs, theft, etc.) violent crimes (rape, robbery, attempted murder), and cases involving domestic violence. Since Mr. Cline has transitioned to defense work, I have observed him in court regularly, and it is clear he has put his years of knowledge to good use in the representation of his clients who are facing criminal charges."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Cline for nearly twenty years. He has always impressed me with his work ethic, his attention to detail, and his ability to evaluate a criminal case. As a former police officer, Mr. Cline will immediately notice if the arresting officers followed procedure or decided to take shortcuts. As a former prosecutor, he has a wealth of experience of knowing how the DA’s office will evaluate the case against his client. If you have been charged with committing a crime, you can’t find a better advocate than Mr. Cline."

"Mr. Cline and I worked together in the DA's office for a number of years, but specifically in the Domestic Violence Unit. I learned a lot from him about how to be a strong, but fair lawyer. Mr. Cline is extremely professional, direct when necessary, and cares greatly about everything he does. He is very hardworking, and will be a formidable criminal defense attorney, given his extensive experience in law enforcement and criminal prosecution."

"I have worked with Mr. Cline for more than a decade. His passion, tenacity, and courtroom skills made him a formidable opponent in court as well as a great resource in the DA's Office. As a defense attorney, Mr. Cline knows the system inside and out, knows how to achieve equitable resolutions for his clients, and has cultivated solid professional relationships with his former colleagues. Jarrett will work hard for you, will tell you the truth, and will guide you through every step of the process. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to him if they needed a criminal defense attorney."
