"I worked with Jason on a lengthy and emotionally challenging custody case, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his support. While the process took time, he was there every step of the way—steady, responsive, and thorough. He always made sure I understood what was happening, helped me feel prepared at every stage, and genuinely had my best interests (and my child’s) at heart. I highly recommend him to anyone navigating a complex family law matter."

"If I could give 0 stars I would. Took my money and nothing was done. Paid $5k and charged $2k for not even an hour in court then asked for another $4k to finish the hearing when I was told that the $5k would cover it all."

"If I could give zero stars I definitely would. Utterly disappointed with the service provided, or lack of. Had a custody case we used Jason for . The case was one hearing and one trial. Jason requested that we pay $5000 and insisted this would cover the cost of this case. Jason showed up to one hearing for 3 hours- and some emails, phone calls later he then later requested $5000 more to move forward for the trial. After declining to pay an additional $5000 we reached out with concern and asking for an explanation for where the other funding has gone and why are we being charged additionally for something he said would be covered. At this point we were given a deadline to pay by his secretary and told that he is too busy to speak to us and go over this reasoning. We tried to reach back out another time additionally and received no response from him directly. Needless to say he did not show up to the trial that he was paid to show up to and we lost the case. I would not use Jason and do not recommend to my worse enemy. He will take your money and leave you hanging out dry. (Sarcastically )- Thanks again Jason."
