I am an attorney. My boss died and I purchased his firm. It was a difficult process dealing with money during a time when everyone was grieving. I didn't always act the best. Jason handled it well. In the end, we were able to get a deal that was fair to all. I want to comment on the one star review also.

We were in search of an experienced Attorney in the area of real estate/land/contract law, having to enforce our rights in an Easement lawsuit brought against us. We came to Jason Whalen of Ledger Square Law, P.S., on referral from another law firm from whom we had received previous representation in Tacoma, WA. The referral was well justified. He is an exceptional attorney--professional, exacting, pragmatic, personable, with an outstanding skill set. Thanks to Mr. Whalen's representation, we prevailed in maintaining and securing our Easement Rights, and the lawsuit against us was withdrawn/settled. We find ourselves deeply committed to Mr. Whalen in any future litigation needs. We note that his firm provides representation in Real Estate Law, Employment Law, Trust and Elder Law, Personal Injury, Commercial Litigation, Mediation, and Arbitration. We have no reservations for ourselves, friends or business associates in recommending Mr. Whalen for his professional services.

Jason Whalen provided us with excellent legal advice and assistance regarding a real estate transaction. He was very professional. His turn around time for services we needed was great and the fee was very reasonable. I would definitely use his services again as well as recommend his services to others. Thank you Jason for your assistance.

Jason Whalen is a brilliant and skillful orator and champion of the underdog! Jason's representation for us has been nothing short of amazing! We have watched him in court defending us in a frivolous lawsuit against us and he is head and shoulders above all of the attorneys in the room! Quick thinking, ready for any question posed by the judge(s) - each time we are so lucky to work with him and his team. Jason has a great support team both Todd and Marcia are both meticulous and precise and assisting in our defense at every turn. Absolutely would use Jason and his team again without any hesitation!

Worst attorney we have ever used. He didn't forward over all the offers being made to us, instead kept milking the case till many more hours were billed then justified. We found out that an offer we were happy to accept had come in months before. This all came out in the arbitration meeting that would not even had been needed if he had discuss with us the offers being made.

Jason Matthew Whalen's response: Given your anonymous complaint (which I have never received previously), I have no idea what case you are referring to, as I have not done any arbitrations in this office since we opened. Moreover, what you describe is certainly not the approach we take with clients or cases. If you would disclose who you are and what case you are referring to, I might better understand your comments. Certainly, feel free to call to discuss.

Jason represented an opposing party in a law suit. From my perspective, he was professional, timely, ethical, and effective. He communicated his client's legal position strongly and concisely, all the while clearly working for a practical, quick, resolution of the case that kept litigation costs down, benefiting all parties. I would recommend him to potential clients without hesitation.
