Jason will go the distance for sure ! Great attorney he never gave up even after my case was drawn out for almost 5 years! We ended up going to trial Jason made many attempts to Seattle with them for less money and they refused even moments before the trail. He is very well educated in the law. He went into trail and had a game plan and we came out winning and they ended up with nothing thank you for not giving up on the case this was a big win for the little guys up agains a huge corporation with the money to pay big attorneys!! And he took them down !! Definitely call him if you need help!!

Jason was able to help me with a debt that showed up the week before Christmas and couldn't have come at a worse time! I started to research and he was recommended for the exact debt collector I was having an issue with. Considered it done in a matter of weeks and it's no longer haunting me which is a huge relief. Thanks again Jason! Appreciate it

Mr. Jablonski reviewed our case and provided excellent advice for what to do before the court date in a very friendly and competent manner. He negotiated with the ADA a reduction in charges from a felony to a violation that resulted in a minimal fine. We highly recommend Mr. Jablonski.
