Outstanding communication, accessibility, intelligence, and value.
A little over 3 months ago I was involved in a situation that could have cost me my freedom, the bulk of my savings, and tarnished my recored for my foreseeable future (2 felony charges, and 2 misdemeanor charges involving a concealed weapon I was legally o.k. to carry).
I felt I had been wrongly ac...cused after defending myself in an altercation in Clackamas county, and when I thought I may be possibly facing these charges, a friend of mine suggested that I contact Mr. Justice (given his excellent rating and strong emphasis on open communication, as well as his familiarity with working in Clackamas county).
After meeting with Jared at his office and explaining my situation to him, he suggested that I let the legal process play-out as much as it needed to in the Clackamas county court/ DA system, and that hiring him right off the bat was not necessary and would be a waste of my money and his time until I absolutely knew what (if anything) I might be charged with. This showed me that he was honest and forthright from the very beginning. I never had a single problem getting a hold of him directly (he does indeed give out his actual cell phone number to his clients, there was no relaying messages through office assistants).
Once the charges had been reviewed by two tiers of D.A.'s (both felony and misdemeanor) and he had opportunities to communicate with both and express my stance that it was a self defense situation, and that he would be representing me so they were instructed to relay communication to him, I felt a lot of relief that a very qualified person was stepping up to bat for me, so to speak.
Once I hired Jared he mentioned several times, "You need to go about living your life, you have hired me to take control of this, I am now the point of contact for this". That put me at ease and gave me the ability to at least sleep soundly at night which hadn't happened from the minute I was involved in all of this.
Long story short, the evidence was not sufficient to the point where either the felony or misdemeanor D.A. in Clackamas county wanted to go forward with charging me, and they had been in contact with Mr. Justice and he had imparted the fact that this was not a case of recklessness on my behalf, but rather self defense which I was legally justified in.
This issue is now behind me and I feel that without the peace of mind that Mr. Jared Justice provided me (telling me the weight was on his shoulders, expressing how the issue was more than likely not the "trial of the century" that I had worried myself into it being, and also that if it had gone forward, he would have facilitated either a controlled booking time and not a warrant being issued, or tried to seek out a civil compromise) I would have been in absolute despair and panic constantly wondering if my life was going to be disrupted and put on hold.
I think that Jared's services are VERY reasonably priced for the insight and communication he provides to clients. He is very knowledgeable about the Clackamas county court system (as in , he knew court service people by their voices and first names on the phone and had a good rapport with them), he also does not seem to let a client get carried away with over analyzing their own situation and fearing the worst (as I was prone to do), he puts the case on his shoulders and gets to work and gives you the reality and the facts and doesn't play into panic/fear scenarios, which I was extremely grateful for.
If you are facing any charges in the criminal realm, I would strongly suggest hiring Mr. Jared Justice, his relaxed demeanor, accessibility, candidness, intelligence, and value can not be beat.
