Poor Job !

When I initially met Jason I thought I was in good hands, he seemed very astute. I was onbviously emotionally distressed, why else would I need an attorney, right? I gave him my defense and evidence of which he "Cherry picked" through as he stated. Because I trusted him ( Never trust a lawyer) I did ...not bother to review what he submitted. He left out the meat of my case and there was no going backward. He missed the first hearing blaming it on his secretary, leaving me alone to seek a continuation in court without him, then he showed up late on the following hearing. He was unprepared and held a wimpy defense as though he really did not care. Then following the loss he billed me an additional $3200 above the $2,000 retainer. Do not hire him. He is just a salesman and does not care if you win or lose, he cares about how much he can bill you for !

The former client who wrote this review is upset about her bill and that we did not prevail in court. The above review is not an accurate reflection of what actually transpired or how I practice law.
