First time seeking legal guidance. Jason was extremely helpful. He answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. What impressed me the most was his honesty. He actually advised me against spending money on a service I didn’t actually need. It’s rare to find that level of integrity in any field, especially the legal field. I highly recommend Jason if you want someone knowledgeable, generous with their time, and genuinely has your best interest at heart!
I had a phone consult with Jason and he was extremely helpful. I had spoken to four lawyers by then and my case was not going to be lucrative for anyone and leans more small claims. But Jason took his time to talk me through my options and his pricing, and helped me choose the most economical route for my situation. (Even if it meant I may not use his services.) He took more time with me than another lawyer who charged me $100 for an hour consult that took 20 minutes (who clearly was not interested in assisting.) If I were to need a lawyer with my case, this practice would be my pick.
If you are looking for transparency then Jason is your guy! He was very informative and kept it real with me. Most importantly he listened, he cared, and he came highly recommended from his peers!
Direct, honest and transparent advice. We appreciated Jason's time and opinion.
Owner response
Thank you, Mariah! We’re glad to hear that you appreciated Jason’s straightforward and honest approach. We truly value your opinion and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
I called 5 lawyers within 50 miles.
Mr. Machnik was the only one that would talk to me about my issues and estimate our way forward for free. the cheapest alternative was 300$ an hour just to talk and figure out if we had a case.
I had a main point but he dug in and got details and thought about possible angles.
afterwords he took the time to entertain all my questions and really made me feel like I had a valid view point and explained some scenarios that i should look out for that would really give us a knockout case and make it more succinct, should thoes things occure.
Hes in my contacts now hands down.

I am a physician and applied for an exemption during for the COVID vaccine during the period the federal government threatened to withhold CMS funding to hospitals refusing to implement a vaccine mandate.
I called at least 5 different law firms, and none would take up my case; they frankly seemed afraid to be associated with it.
My initial consultation call was over 30 minutes and extremely helpful and, given that I was facing unemployment and was told I’d be blacklisted from the field, uplifting.
Ultimately after working with them, I was initially placed on three weeks of paid leave during the holiday season and my hospital privileges were renewed with an exemption in place.
Even if I had lost, I would have been satisfied with this firm; they were tedious, well-prepared, reasonably priced, communicative, and approachable.
Owner response
Thank you for sharing your story. We’re so glad our team was able to support you during a difficult time. Your kind words are appreciated and we’re truly grateful that you chose our law firm to support you.
Jason was a very big help to me. He listened to me and gave me a fair opinion. I truly was glad for his honesty I would definitely recommend him to others
Jason was enormously helpful. He listened to my concerns and shared his insights on our situation. In the end he recommended that we not hire him to further explore the issues. Outstanding honesty and I would absolutely hire him!
Owner response
Ken, thank you for sharing your experience. We pride ourselves on being up front and honest with everyone we talk to, including when it makes sense to hire us and when the overall outcome would be better not to.
