great litigation attorney

Jason handled a litigation matter for me a couple of years back, and I recently hired his firm again to assist with a real estate matter. What most impressed me is that as a litigator, he is tenacious, talented and smart, but he combines these characteristics with reasonableness and professionalism.... I found him to be a perfect fit for my personality. I was more than satisfied with the outcome.

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.
