Mr. Jared was very professional and always kept me informed about the case. He would promptly respond to any correspondence. Mr. Jared would give me accurate assessments about the case progression and was very welcoming and understanding about my concerns. His fees were very reasonable and fair. I would go to Mr. Jared again for any legal issues that would encounter in the future.

I went to JAW LEGAL for a divorce case based on a referral from a friend... Jared was very professional, explained everything and always listened to my questions and explained the process. It was a difficult time in my life but Jared made the experience much less stressful...his fees were very reasonable too. Would highly recommend.

I highly recommend JAW Legal for someone seeking reliable and competent legal services with an emphasis on a high level of client service. My experience exceeded my expectations.

Jared helped me in the transaction of selling my lawn and landscape company. He was very helpful in making sure that all paperwork protected my (the seller) interest in a owner financed transaction that will ensure payments for the life of the loan. I was also very impressed in how quickly he always responded to any questions I had and how he also asked questions to make sure all documentation was as it needed to be for the specific needs to my transaction. Thank you Jared!

I actually contacted Mr. Washkowitz twice, as I hadn't heard anything the first time. And while he gave me information I expected, it came across as not really interested - maybe because it was in email, not actually over the phone - which I think I didn't provide a phone number, so not his fault - it was just that I didn't feel that he was vested in my case. Though I sent a few pictures, and explained there were 3 separate incidents. With that said, I gave him a good rating, because I didn't tell him everything, just a few items about my claim. From those few items, he covered items that I was concerned over. Explained that it could/would be financially draining, etc. Which going into any lawsuit is. I already saw what the fee is for an hour, and that's just the lawyer, doesn't cover any assistants or legal aids, people that need to be paid to make an investigation and come to a conclusion or testify, that may be needed, which may not be as large hourly, but still. So, if it wasn't worth it, even based on actual vs. principal, wouldn't even bother calling. Because this isn't something someone can tell me an estimate for, and guarantee it won't be more than, as if it needs to go to court, wait time, etc. will just keep adding up. It was the 'no guarantee' and that was it, that left me feeling like he didn't have faith in his ability to win or that he saw my claim as being worth it. I appreciate that it's honest. As it's a third party who will decide the outcome if we go to court. I obviously believe that anyone who doesn't see the damage caused by another person/party, should be compensated and made whole, is wrong, but I am partial cause it's my property. It was the feeling of not having someone who felt the way I did, that not only were lives jeopardized during each occurrence; harassment from the employees of the company; the lack of consideration to my property, and using it as a dumping ground; the overall lack of follow through; etc. that I went through - actually still going through. There was just something about that last sentence that left me feeling uneasy. I expect a judge to be impartial, but fair - but a lawyer I need to understand and empathize with my situation. I want to know, feel, that they are all in, to support conveying my feelings and frustrations to the court, to the best of their ability. I would recommend people to him, because he actually read what I sent him, which I found rare and responded professionally. With while I may change my mind if I can't find what I'm looking for, and see if he's willing at that time... In any event, Mr. Washkowitz took the time to contact me; spent time actually reading what I sent (which to me, makes him automatically a good lawyer - as I've gone through the sending only to be asked the same questions I've already answered in my email); and I'm grateful he took the time to answer me in a professional and honest manner. Thank you.

I am a Hawaii-based business consultant/developer , who hired Jared to help me to get paid for services I had provided to a former client of mine. I was dreading the arduous and bureaucratic process, but Jared was so professional and efficient, he helped the procedure go very smoothly. From your first conversation with Jared, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Any concern I raised was immediately addressed. Phone calls were answered in a timely manner. Information I requested about the process was promptly forwarded. It took Jared only one well written/to the point letter to my former client that spelled out how we would proceed, if we wouldn't get paid promptly. RESULT: We got paid within a couple of weeks. Last but not least; since Jared opted to sublease a reasonable priced office space in the heart of downtown, he was/is able to offer a compatible rate. Not cheap, but compatible. Be warned: Once your case has been settled, you’ll likely still continue to hear from Jared. His genuine warmth and kindness make it near impossible not to become his friend. Thank you Jared.

While on vacation I suffered an injury on a boating excursion that changed my life and activity level in many ways. I first learned about Jared by researching for a personal injury attorney specializing in maritime law in Hawaii through the AVVO website. His high rating and positive reviews led me to contact him. I was not disappointed! I had never been part of lawsuit before and was very nervous about the whole process. Jared listened to me and provided me excellent feedback and advice so that I felt comfortable moving forward with the case. He is not only very knowledgeable and professional but also personable, patient and understanding, easily available (even with our different time zones), always willing to answer my questions, explain my options, and calm me down when I would get stressed over the legal process. Jared really cares about his clients and treated me like a friend and a real person and not just as "another case". I feel very blessed to have Jared as my attorney, and now also my friend, and was very pleased with the results of my case. I highly recommend Jared to anyone in need of legal assistance!

Most of my clients are elderly and have a hard time finding people to trust. My client asked me to find her an attorney and I connected her to Jared. She is so thankful! He was so patient and understanding. Best of all, he won her case! My client and I highly recommend Jared!

I recently worked Jared Washkowitz for legal assistance regarding my business, and navigating which type of entity the business should be set up as. Jared gave me excellent feedback on my options, and quickly made things happen. He is very knowledgeable, understands the Hawaii business market, and is very professional.

Jared is professionalism shows from the second you consult with him, he's straight to the point and gives you the true picture of the situation and will get you the best outcome possible. I have used Jared in a lawsuit I was involved in, I was very happy with the outcome and his professionalism from A to Z, now he's officially my lawyer that I run to for any and all legal advise!

Fast, easy and good advice. I had some follow up questions which were answered clearly and quickly. Worry free and hassle free. For what i needed to be done, set up a business, i highly recommend Jared to be your attorney to go to.

Jared was referred to our organization through a mutual friend. Having been established as a business for 10-years, our board was ready to take a leap in becoming an official 501c3 non-profit status, yet had no background in establishing this business status or business operations. Jared was an excellent consultant. His thorough review and research educated our board and identified gaps and decisions needing to be made. His patience and willingness to work through our process in a time of high pressure brought a sense of relief and comfort to the overall process. He walked us step by step through the 501c3 application process, supportive documents and language needing development, and educated us on legal modifications to become approved and legitimate. This indirectly helped us to further build out our business operations, which was extremely helpful. Most notably, after submission, Jared advocated for our organization with respect, honesty and clear direction. In a situation where the IRS did not feel our organization's purpose and mission met the standards to their traditional definitions for charity, Jared negotiated between both the IRS and our leadership about how to understand each other in order to meet the IRS qualifications and to move our organization forward. As a result of his work and efforts, Envision Hawaii has been approved as a 501c3 non-profit organization. From a cost perspective, the best I can describe is that my board directors were very pleased with the outcome relative to the cost. We did agree to a fee for service. Jared was upfront and honest about his time commitments and efforts that needed to be put into this. I made the executive decision to honor his request, and I have no regrets. In the end, no one could be happier.
