About Jason
Biography
Criminal defense is my art and craft. I have handled many criminal defense cases ranging from small misdemeanors to Violent Class A Felonies like Aggravated Robbery Acting in Concert and Attempted Murder. My clients have been so content with the negotiated settlements, dismissals, and nolle prosequi I've obtained on their cases that 100% of them have decided that they did not need or want to have a trial. In the poverty stricken city now rated by Forbes as America's second most violent city, I strive to provide Criminal Defense services at affordable flat fixed rates.

Excellent Lawyer
Mr. Jason took on my husband case and made sure that he received all information from the prosecution. He got my husband's case dismissed and everything expunged off of his record
