“I cannot say enough about Jason. He has been so upfront with me at every moment of the process, and also the other attorneys that I had the privilege to work with in the Pittsburgh office. It was so important that I felt that I was getting the best service and also that I could trust my lawyers, and I did from the moment we started speaking. I was always being looked out for … and also had the confidence of seeing my lawyers fighting for me unconditionally when needed. As my case comes to a close, I could not be happier with my support that I have received … Jason has been amazing at what he does … He sees any possible outcome, … and never [loses] sight of my wants, needs and wishes … [and] what is best for my son! THANK YOU!”
