Knowledgeable, Accessible, and Effective

Jason was willing to take on a case that was in no way "easy". He clearly explained the situation, potential outcomes, and plan of action. He'll advise you what to do before and after the trial to avoid unknowingly creating bigger problems for yourself. It felt like every time we spoke there was g...ood news. Any question you have will be answered in a timely manner, and you can trust that he knows what he's talking about. If you happen to find yourself in need of defense for a legal situation that falls within his specializations, I would highly recommend reaching out to Jason Lantz!

Effective, Fair, & Trustworthy - Hire Him

If you need a stand up lawyer that's going to be honest, thorough, and effective... Jason is the one to hire. I experienced an extremely unfortunate misunderstanding that led to a criminal investigation against me (a working professional and student with zero legal history - exemplifying that legal i...ssues can happen to anyone!) and I called around to a plethora of Lawyers and Jason stood out. We discussed my situation, he strategically broke down the various scenarios that could play out, and what my options were and the best course of action with each. He really put in the time, resulting in the criminal investigation getting dropped in less than 2 weeks... Overall, do your due diligence, everyone should, but if you really want to resolve your legal issue and need a powerhouse lawyer that's knowledgeable and will approach your case with the right energy, Jason is the one you're looking for! Thanks again Jason.

Review for Jason Lantz

Jason was very respectful and timely. He went above and beyond for me. He made my experience as least stressful and always friendly. I would go back to him in a minute.

Trustworthy and Effective

Jason recently gained my trust as an attorney helping out with a legal situation where I was accused of reckless endangerment. Jason is always very professional, organized and kept me in the know, willing to chat any time I had questions. He is an advocate for me in the courtroom, minimizes my expo...sure to the system and here helped me walk away from an unfortunate misunderstanding that could have unjustly cost me big time. Would definitely go straight to Jason again for help. Thank you, Jason!

Exceptional Defense Attorney

Like most people, I never thought I would find myself in a scenario where I would need to retain legal representation, and for a DV allegation at that. I spent several hours researching and interviewing attorneys. After my first conversation with Jason, I knew I would likely hire him. He was genuine ...and attentive. He walked me through the entire process and the potential outcomes. At the end of our call, I felt confident instead of anxious. Jason immediately began working on my case once I hired him. Jason is approachable, he communicates effectively and is easy to get in touch with. He is proactive and was always prepared and on time for every hearing. The prosecutor in my case did not seem to want to budge and we were prepared to go to trial. Jason's assiduity and intransigence ultimately got my case dismissed. Jason is an exceptional attorney, I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking representation.
