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.

Traffic Violation
I was pulled over for my child not being in child safety seat. In the county it is a mandatory court appearance and $250 fine. Jason went on my behalf so I did not have to miss work as well as got my fine reduced to attending a driver safety class.

Tickets
I've used Jason a few times to deal with some tickets in court for me. He was reasonable on his prices for it and was able to get favorable results for me.
