From day one of calling his office, I found Jason Jones to be very knowledgeable about the bankruptcy process. He offered excellent advice, was very accessible and more than willing to spend time on the phone answering my questions. In addition, his staff was friendly and equally responsive always keeping me on track with the large volume of documents that needed to be submitted. I would highly recommend Avatar Legal Services to anyone.

Our personal debt from a business was extensive and I knew we needed a good lawyer. After researching then interviewing more than 20 local lawyers in San Diego County, I found Jason to be the most competent, intelligent and strategic lawyer around. I didn't know Jack from Joe, so I wasn't going to be fooled by advertising, flashy websites or big names. I personally drove around interviewing them all and comparing notes.
At our first meeting, Jason impressed me with his knowledge of new bankruptcy laws. He impressed me with his strategy and his intellect. He explained that since he was trained in the new BK laws he doesn't have build up of old laws that no longer apply. His team is VERY responsive and Jason always had a way to calm me down if my nerves got the better of me.
I had many questions about how my business affected me financially. The business was so inter-twined with my financial affairs. Avatar's ability to answer business and personal BK questions was also a primary reason I chose Jason and his team at Avatar.
My first thoughts, stemming from his photo was, "how can this young guy be the right one for me? I was very skeptical. He looks 16! But don't be fooled. I chose Jason for his impressive resume, the number of BKs he's done and his very professional demeanor. He was by far the best lawyer out of all that I interviewed. And his price was very competitive. I feel I would not have only been a number and a name to the flashy guys with the big advertising budgets that would have cost me $1000s more. Jason gave me personal time and his commitment to quality.
I suggest you do your research. Find your best fit. Meet your potential lawyer in person. You have to have a connection with the staff that is going to represent you to the Trustee. Jason was that person for me and his staff didn't let me down at all.
His other star attorney is Rachel Harwylo. Rachel is an associate attorney at Avatar and she'd respond to emails, phone calls and questions within minutes. What a super-star!! Even after the discharge of debt Rachel helped ease my nerves with questions that she handled professionally.
No stone went unturned. If you follow their process up front you get quality results.
I can't say anything negative about Jason. Nothing at all. Call Avatar and interview his staff. Make sure you do your homework. Find out for yourself. That's the best advice I can give.

Using Avatar Legal made my bankruptcy much less stressful because Jason explained the whole process to me before I even selected him to handle it! I took several months to decide what I needed to do, and every time I phoned Jason, he patiently answered my questions and let me make up my mind as to the best way to go. Once I decided to file, his assistant was always there to guide me and make the process as painless as possible. I would definitely recommend Jason and his team to anyone needing or considering bankruptcy.

I was recommended to Jason by a friend who said that he would be an excellent lawyer to help me with some dire financial problems that I was having, due to the slow economy and its impact upon my small business. It was extremely difficult for me to reach out to another, being a private person who has always taken care of my own matters, and never having found myself in such a position. I felt humiliated to have to take this action, though Jason put my mind at ease from our first conversation. His calm manner and compassionate and thoroughly informed explanation of the options that were available to me helped me to see my situation in a rational way, and allowed me to make informed decisions regarding which action to take. Jason's knowledge and trustworthiness showed him to be my invaluable ally during one of the darkest times of my life. Jason gave me as much of his time that I felt I needed to ask questions, and never did I feel rushed or that I was being hurried through the office visit. Jason shows very much respect to his clients, at a time in their lives when their own reserves are definitely running low. I have worked hard all of my life, and never dreamed that one day I would find myself in a bankruptcy situation. Jason made this previously unthinkable experience seem less of a stigma by helping me face the facts , and find a resolution in a kind, respectful way. I would highly recommend Jason Jones to anyone I knew who found themselves in this most unfortunate financial situation, as I was completely pleased with my experience with Jason in every way.

Jason Jones was my lawyer in my bankruptcy case. He provided quality professional service. Jason was always available to answer questions, explain the steps involved in my case, and handle any critical issues that came up during the process. All aspects of bankruptcy were clearly explained and all options were presented to me so that i could make an informed decision.
His staff was also pivotal in handling my questions and putting me at ease during the course of filing my case. They took great care in the accuracy and details involved in my bankruptcy.
I felt they appreciated my business and valued me as an individual.
