Hire Jason Hanna

I went to Jason with property/financial issues involving my aging sister with Alzheimer's. Jason provided many different options to assist me with her property, finances, Will, POA, etc. His knowledge and ability to explain in layman's terms is superb. He was always so patient, kind, helpful, and too...k the time to explain everything. After completing many documents for my sister, my wife and I returned to Jason for Wills, POA, Medical Directives, etc. for us and again were more than pleased and thankful for his service.

Suit against my mother

Jason Hannah handled a lawsuit that my siblings brought against my mother trying to take away her half of my parents businesses from her. He handle her with kit gloves. I was her power of attorney. The firm that he was with at that time never sent us copies of the briefs that were turned into the cou...rt that they would file representing my mother. Almost 2 years later I finally got copies. I was so impressed with the way he handled the lawsuit brought against my mother, I was left speechless. As you can imagine, they did not win. My mother subsequently died, and everything remained As she wanted it to be. But this was only thanks to Mr. Hannah.

My highest recommendation!

I hired Jason Hanna when a dishonest contractor cheated me out of a sizable amount of money. Mr. Hanna was extremely approachable, attentive, knowledgeable, and HONEST. The amount of relief I felt knowing that he was handling everything for me was measurable. He made all the stress and pressure I was... feeling vanish. I can’t thank him enough for turning a very bad experience into a very good one, and in a timely manner at that! I am thrilled with the outcome and give Mr. Hanna my highest recommendation.

Very satisfied with interactions

I hired Attorney Jason Hanna after a brief consultation on how to address my mother’s affairs. He is responsive when there are questions via email and will even call to address the question if the explaination is extremely detailed. I felt like he actually cares about me as a client and was eager to ...handle issues that concerned me.

Estate Prep

My wife and I used Jason to prepare our Will and all ancillary documents as part of our estate planning. He was very responsive to our requests and thorough and timely in answering all the questions we had. He has also been great with follow up questions after the fact and I don't have any hesitation... referring others to him. We would definitely recommend considering Jason for all your estate planning needs!

He commands a broad range of legal knowledge acquired through a persistent pursuit of learning in multiple fields. Since our entry into the practice of law, I have kept in regular contact with Jason.

"Mr. Hanna is the rare combination of a people person and legal technician. He makes people comfortable almost immediately, and can explain both the positive and negative aspects of estate planning choices. His analysis is balanced, with the needs of his client informing his advice rather than just what is expedient. I would recommend Mr. Hanna to a friend or family member who had need of his expertise."
