Wow, an amazing attorney!!!

After days of losing sleep and being turned away by lawyers who couldn't help me, another attorney finally told me I needed to call his office. Then I spoke to Jason Short. In a matter of minutes, his sheer expertise completely shifted the dynamic of my situation. He took a problem that baffled other...s, laid it out with absolute crystal clarity, and gave me immediate peace of mind. You can instantly tell you are speaking to a top-tier legal mind who knows exactly what he is doing. He is worth his weight in gold. Period.

The very best. Period!

We are so happy that we hired Jason Short to represent our son. Unfortunately our son was arrested for a DUI. We have 5 kids and between the kids and our own life experiences we have had the regrettable need to hire attorneys over the years and know first hand there are good ones and there are ...awful ones. Jason Short is a good one. First thing we did when our son told us of his DUI was visit a friend who is a Portland Police detective. He said he'd ask around and the next day called me with three names. I asked him if his son was facing a DUI charge who would he hire and he said Jason Short. Jason was able to get our son's charges dropped and was competent, caring, knowledgeable, skilled and and well liked/respected by the DA, the arresting officer and the DMV administrative judge. We are grateful to our friend who recommended Jason Short and we are grateful to Mr Short for taking our case and working hard and effectively on our behalf. If you find yourself facing a DUI I think he is your very best bet.

I am so glad I hired Jason Short

Jason Short did an amazing job representing me against false abuse allegations. Throughout the ordeal he was always in touch with me and kept me updated, and was very quick to return phone calls and emails. It definitely made the whole process easier knowing he was out there fighting for me. When it ...was finally time for my day in court, Jason was well prepared and didn’t leave anything up to chance. He was very thorough and comfortable in the courtroom, and obviously had a ton of experience. And he got me the not-guilty verdict that I desperately needed. I highly recommend Jason Short.

The right choice!

Jason Short was outstanding in handling my sons DUI case. My son's breathalyzer test was only .05, but he was still being charged with a DUI. Jason used his experience dealing with the DA's office and was able to convince the district attorney they would not win this case...all charges were dropped, ...including the traffic citations. After calling several attorneys in the area Jason was the only one who felt we had a shot at having the charges dismissed, most of the attorneys we talked with only wanted to discuss the diversion program. Jason was the right choice!

GREAT ATTORNEY

Jason Short has a great deal of experience and does every thing in his power to ensure the best possible outcome for his clients. Jason did a fantastic job convincing the District Attorney to drop all charges against me before the trial date. It was a real pleasure working with Jason. Over the pas...t 40 years I have worked with many professionals. Jason is one of the most genuine, sincere, caring persons I have worked with. He is honest, extremely bright, hard working and has a great spirit about him. I highly recommend Jason and his firm.
