Practice Areas

• Social Work

Before becoming a family lawyer, Jason was a social worker for ‘at-risk’ children. This experience created a useful and complex understanding of child development and the law, both of which powerfully inform his practice as a family law attorney to this day.

• Family Law

For over fourteen years, Jason has been resolving a wide variety of family law cases, from simple to demanding. He has over a decade of unique expertise in high-conflict custody cases, many of which involve allegations of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. He also regularly serves as a court-appointed adviser for family law court. In this capacity, he both collects and considers evidence, including conducting formal interviews with children whose well-being is in question. These findings, and his recommendations, are presented in court in the most difficult cases to determine the best interests of minors in family law cases. Finally, Jason has helped families with complicated assets including large businesses and complex estates.

• Trial Experience

Jason began his legal career working for the City of Phoenix Prosecutor’s Office, trying criminal cases before juries and judges. This is highly unusual in a field in which the vast majority of both criminal and civil cases end up being settled out of court. Jason’s trial experience as a prosecutor helped him develop the calm confidence and argumentative skill you want in family law court. His clients appreciate his ability to execute focused case strategy, communicate persuasively, connect with judges, assert dominance, and think critically in the moment.
