Jason Brett Saunders's Lawyer Endorsements
"Jason is one of the top legal minds in Washington. He has a deep understanding of the law and works diligently on behalf of his clients. His strengths extend to trial and appellate work. I have had the pleasure of attending arguments that he has had in the Washington Supreme Court and have always been impressed."
"Jason is an excellent attorney. I worked with Jason for six and a half years at the Washington Appellate Project; during that time, I came to rely on Jason's in-depth knowledge of the law, his ability to analyze difficult issues, and his sound judgment. Jason communicates honestly and effectively with everyone, from Supreme Court Justices to incarcerated clients. In the years since we worked together, I have continued to consult Jason on professional matters and his advice has been of great value to me.I have great respect for Jason and endorse him wholeheartedly."
"You're an experienced criminal defense attorney in trial. A previously unforeseen legal issue has suddenly emerged and the Court has given you fifteen minutes to research the pertinent case law. You can panic and try to quickly research the question on your cell phone. Or, you can do what I did and call Jason Saunders. Jason Saunders is a genius. He is a lawyer whose judgment I know I can trust and rely on at a moment's notice. He is also hard-working. You can't ask for much more in a criminal defense attorney. I wholeheartedly endorse Jason and his work."
"Jason Saunders is a lawyer other lawyers respect. He is exceptionally smart and hard working, but, more than that, he has very good judgment when it comes to assessing legal tactics and strategy. What this means for me as a lawyer is that he is a valued resource for me to turn to when I am considering how to approach a particular issue in a case. What this means for you as a client is that he has not just the intelligence, but also the practical insights, that will help you achieve your goals."
"Of course I enthusiastically endorse this lawyer, and in fact, I chose to go into business with him. Jason brings years of expertise in appellate criminal defense to our firm. Clients love his warm, comforting, dedicated work. If I find a question that I can't answer, I know that Jason can! Together, we bring two different and complimentary perspectives to each case. We find that this gives our clients the greatest number of options and the best possible results."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I worked with Jason for six years. Jason is a diligent advocate who works hard for his clients and consistently treats them with respect. Jason's smart and careful approach to his cases has won him victories in both the Washington Supreme Court and Court of Appeals."
"I worked closely with Jason for two years at the Washington Appellate Project, where I had the opportunity to observe and learn from Jason's careful, incisive analysis and his cogent, meticulous briefs tackling complex and difficult legal issues. He treats his clients with care and respect and walks into court with a good-natured confidence that paves the way for compelling arguments. I have also inherited clients from him who speak highly of his representation."
