I was in the Tampa area on a family vacation earlier this year, when I suddenly found myself facing a felony charge of child neglect. My world and life, it seemed, were headed for total disaster. I was facing having my very long, successful and spotless military career coming to a horrible end. I began desperately searching online for someone who could not only successfully defend me, but that I could also trust. An attorney that I could not only trust to handle my case, but that would also interact with me like a real person, and not just try to take to me the cleaners with legal fees. After speaking with about twenty local attorneys, I gave Jason a call. I liked what I read in the reviews about how he was like having both a good friend and a lawyer in your corner. And the fact that Jason loves to WIN!!! So I wouldn't have to worry about some easy plea deal, or accepting anything less than victory in the name of easiness. After speaking with Jason on the phone, I stopped the search. There was just something about this friendly, No BS professional that told me this is the one. During my consultation, it was like talking to a long time buddy. I was totally at ease with his friendly demeanor, and very impressed by his knowledge and professionalism. During the consultation, Jason took his time and laid out a set of very well planned courses of action. Then he explained what the possible outcomes could be. He gave me a no BS honest assessment about our chances, stressing that nothing is ever guarenteed. more importantly, he put it to me in plain English. I left Tampa and headed back north to Ohio to await any updates. Jason went to work setting up and organizing everything in great detail. I provided him with documentation he requested from me for my case to construct a very strong mitigation package to submit to the state. The process took a few months to come to fruition. In the meantime, I was dreading the possibility of a plea deal, a reduction of charges, diversion, or worst of all, a felony trial or conviction. During this waiting period, Jason would always provide me with updates, the course ahead, and of course tell me to keep my head up and hang in there buddy. Well, last week, Jason called me with the best news ever. Not only was the charge dropped, it was not even filed, CASE CLOSED!!!!! I couldn't believe it. NIGHTMARE OVER!!! And Jason is now my new hero! What a friend, what a guy, what an Attorney!!!
