Jason was amazing to work with. I had him build a contract for my new company, a task I thought would take over a week, and it was done within 2 business days! I am so happy with the completed document. Jason was responsive, quick to take notes and make changes, and extremely knowledgeable and patient. I will definitely hire Jason for any legal tasks in the future 1000%!

I spoke with at least 7 attorneys in NY to help with my brother's estate. I received many quotes and lots of advice. When I spoke with Jason Jones, P.C., he was the one and only attorney who explained things to me in depth and in layman's terms. He let me know not to go forward with an attorney because it was not worth what I would receive once the Esate was settled. He explained that I would probably end up in the red and the only one who would profit is the attorneys. At the end he even asked me to keep him abreast of how things going or if I had a question. I truly appreciated his honesty and advice. I definitely will contact him in the future if I need his services. Attorneys in general get a hard reputation for not being honest. Jason does NOT belong in that category. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you!!!!!

Jason was responsive and took the time to understand my case, and fought for my side. He made my first experience dealing with an attorney much nicer than expected -- highly recommend.

I worked with Jason on an estateplanning issue. The quality of his work and professionalism helped the client save a lot of money on unnecessary legal and court fees. Through his diligence and asking the right questions he was able to help a client properly set up his future with no wasted time or expenses. I would recommend Jason to anyone in need of a will, setting up a trust or just if you have a legal question and need honest advice.
FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Based on whether you need estate planning (preparation of documents such as Wills) or estate administration (probate) I charge a reasonable flat fee rather than an hourly fee. I will quickly provide you with a free skype or phone consultation and a retainer that outlines how we have agreed to work together.
Only one half of the legal fee is due contemporaneously when you sign a retainer; the other half is due once the project ends.
Discounts may be given on a case by case basis.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always provide a free telephone consultation for prospective clients, follow that with an estate planning questionnaire and then provide tailored estate planning documents and/or petitions to the client via a shared folder. Next, I consult with the client and answer all his questions patiently.
Lastly, I finalize any documents required and arrange to meet for the document signing ceremony which I provide for free and can arrange to meet the client at a place of his or her choosing. When this ceremony ends, I provide these documents to the client, along with providing ancillary instructions on how to keep them operative and current.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Tons. After graduating from Yale University with a B.A. in literature, I worked as a paralegal at a major law firm in New York and then traveled to Japan where I lived and worked while earning my M.A. in Japanese literature. Once I returned to the States, I worked again as a paralegal with a view towards entering law school, where my focus area was trusts & estates planning. Once I graduated from law school and after being admitted to the NY bar, I worked for domestic and international law firms before opening my law office in January of last year.
