Posted by Derek | May 11, 2016 | Hired Attorney

DUI expert

Jason was retained to represent me for a DUI and other related charges. Our first interaction was beneficial in that he provided a number of steps to immediately start working on myself (AA, recovery) as well as steps/actions to potentially impact the outcome of my case. He was full of good informati...on and his experience previously as an attorney prosecuting DUI cases in addition to knowing many county resources that were processing (and prosecuting) my case were immensely useful. He was available for email and phone conversations and kept me aware of next steps and prepared me for the process I went through. My outcome was good - given the circumstances - and he made a lasting impression on me. Thanks to Jason I was able to get into recovery and AA sooner than I otherwise would have and feel I have a good head start on a successful future. I would hire Jason again for any other legal issue that my family or I may encounter in the future.

Job well done

When it comes to professionalism, you can rely on Jason Short Always courteous, very attentive to details, sharp and well known in court When I found out that Jason was a district attorney and then open its own practice as an attorney it gave me a sense of " this guy knowns the inside out" of the... justice system I was right. He handle my case in two different county at once and thanks to Jason I did not spent a day in jail. Trust me, my wife is so happy to have me home every night. My regards to you Jason

super lawyer

jason personally returned my call the same day when i was scared and looking for help with a federal charge. his office is open late so they told me to swing by and met with me at like 5:30 that same day! all told he was 4k cheaper than the one other guy that even returned my call (i called every law...yer in town). the best part was that i would be surprised if anyone else around is more knowledgeable of the federal system. apparently he used to be a law clerk for the federal attorney's office so when we went in for a meeting he was saying hi to all the people walking through the halls. basically using his connections and knowledge of the system he had the prosecutor drop one charge, i paid the fine for the second (<$300), and NO COURT APPEARANCE, NO PLEA, NO CONVICTION ON MY RECORD. pretty much a perfect outcome! he's a super nice guy, and gave me a weekly update call while he was working on the case. his office staff was really friendly and professional- nicole helped me figure out a flexible payment plan because as a student i'm dirt poor and already in debt to begin with. i know that it's usually only the pissed off people that are motivated enough to write a review, but jason did such a great job that i offered to take the time to write a recommendation. he's getting all my business from now on, for sure.

Fantastic attorney in a time of need

I didn't know I had a warrant for my arrest. When I got pulled over for a speeding ticket, the police officer said I had a misdemeanor warrant. He issued me a citation to appear in court. I called Mr. Short and he said everything would be fine. The next day, he called me and said I didn't have to... appear in court and he got the case reduced to a violation and I just had to pay a small fine. The warrant was lifted and I didn't have a misdemeanor on my record. Thank you again. You will not be disappointed if you retain Mr. Short. I know not every outcome can turn out like mine, but he was very professional, confident and worked on my case immediately.
