Client Testimonials

“Jason’s guidance and legal counsel have been invaluable to me on a personal and professional level. Knowing that I have a partner who’s ready, willing and able to tackle the various legal hurdles that confront my growing business provides a tremendous peace of mind.”

— Amanda Ward, Biggby Coffee Franchise Owner (Stores 580 & 681)

“I can’t thank Jason enough! His assistance in navigating an extremely contentious shareholder buy-out saved an enormous amout of time and money that otherwise would have been spent on litigation. Some attorneys choose to file suit first and think about the client’s goals second. Jason was a true problem solver who understood my ultimate objective and implemented a strategy to ensure it was achieved.”

— Bob Mackendrick

"We were referred to Jason by a mutual friend – and could not have been more pleased! Jason guided us through each step of the process involved in preparing our estate plans to safeguard and distribute our business and personal assets to future generations."

— Kathy Reed-Long

"When a “bet the business” dispute arose, Jason was one of several attorneys that I interviewed. It was clear that he understood the gravity of the situation and immediately established a strategy that made sense for me and my business. Jason successfully arbitrated my case against a multi-national company and protected my intellectual property, my reputation, and my business. I’m extremely grateful for the thoughtful and comprehensive manner in which Jason litigated my case. Our partnership has allowed me to continue to innovate and develop new products, while knowing that my intellectual property is secure."

— Thomas Phommasith (Tomcat Machine Performance, LLC)
