Didn't care about who was the victim in a Brotherly fight.

He might be a good Attorney. But, I will never refer anyone to him. But a very good Criminal attorney. He didn't get all the facts. When your living quarters are you stairs, and some one enters with out your permission. That's why there is a thing called Violation of personal Boundaries! And, my Br...other Ken's were violated. And, you blew him under the bus. And, let the guilty party get away with his lies. I'm not an attorney. But, I could have done a better job, and I'm self taught.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS ONE

I will keep this short and sweet. Do not waste your time with this lawyer. I consulted with him on a citation I received. First off, he works out of a garage. Second , an attorney is superposed to make you feel better and give you some hope to your situation. This guy basically was telling me I... was guilty within the first 10 minutes of sitting down. His real goal is money. He tried to get 5500 dollars out of me without even giving a slightest hope we had a chance. He didn't even familiarize himself with the case until we showed up. He claimed oh sorry I am having computer problems. Again, I was basically guilty in his eyes before he even looked at the police report or body cam footage. He was so rude and obnoxious that he angered my entire family. Here is what I did do though after we walked out. Hired different competent attorney with years of experience practicing law. Got treated with dignity, honesty and professionalism by my new attorney. Told everyone I know to never hire this bum. Was only charged a 3500 dollar flat retainer fee by my new attorney. Got the citation dropped down to a simple noise infraction. I am glad it worked out the way it did. Who knows that the outcome would have been had I hired this guy. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time with this guy unless you like arrogant unprofessional attorneys who operator out of a closet of an old garage, with dollar signs in their eyes, who will condemn you before they have even looked at the facts.

A case dismissed!! Because Jason is that good!!

Jason Smith did an amazing job representing me in my case. I had a car accident and had no ins. I had three traffic violations and property damage that could have been VERY expensive. I had confidence that Jason would give me the best outcome in my case. He was very knowledgeable about what he was ...doing. He knew I was nervous and continued to reassure me that everything would be ok. I put my trust in him. He got my case dismissed with only minor infractions. I am completely satisfied with the outcome. He is an awesome attorney and I will recommend him to everyone!!! Thank YOU!!!

Jason Smith helped my son and I both with tickets and got them off our driving records

I had gotten a neg.2 and my son thats 16 got a speeding ticket on my neg 2 he went to bat against a very tough prosecutor that is coming down hard on driving tickets. Jason Smith got it 100% off my record all i had to do was a small online course that cost me 60 dollars. and a few hours of my time. ...Now he's working on my sons ticket and i trust him fully that he will get that dismissed or dropped to a lesser ticket that won't impact his insurance or ability to keep his drivers license. Jason Smith called and text thru out all this and let me know exactly what was going on he did a amazing job and if I ever any problems again he will be my first call and id would 100 percent recommend he be yours!!!!

Completely Satisfied!

Jason went above and beyond with my case. I was looking at 5 years in prison and he worked out my case that I only did 20 days jail alternatives. During the span of my case, Jason made sure to contact me with any recent news and always consulted me with my concerns and questions. The office that he w...orks for is top caliber, with a legal support staff that always greeted me with a smile and is extremely knowledgeable in the legal field. I would HIGHLY recommend both Jason and his office for any of your criminal legal matters that you may have. They really made sure to ease any fears I had about my criminal case.
