Having to find a defense attorney is never a pleasant experience, but luckily I was able to find Short Law Group. I was looking at a measure 11 offence of attempted murder that was latter changed to two counts of assault in the second degree, but with the support and devotion given to my case by Mr. Short along those whom work beside him I was found not guilty of all charges at trial for reasons of self-defense. Never ones over the year that it took my case to go to trail did Mr. Short try to get me to take a plea bargain I didn’t want or did I ever feel work wasn’t being done. The time that was put into my case was way beyond what I paid for, communication never fell to the wayside, and Mr. Shorts knowledge and experience really shines through in the court room. It’s for these reasons and more I feel confident in recommending Short Law Group to anyone.

I didn't know I had a warrant for my arrest. When I got pulled over for a speeding ticket, the police officer said I had a misdemeanor warrant. He issued me a citation to appear in court. I called Mr. Short and he said everything would be fine. The next day, he called me and said I didn't have to appear in court and he got the case reduced to a violation and I just had to pay a small fine. The warrant was lifted and I didn't have a misdemeanor on my record. Thank you again. You will not be disappointed if you retain Mr. Short. I know not every outcome can turn out like mine, but he was very professional, confident and worked on my case immediately.

We are so happy that we hired Jason Short to represent our son. Unfortunately our son was arrested for a DUI. We have 5 kids and between the kids and our own life experiences we have had the regrettable need to hire attorneys over the years and know first hand there are good ones and there are awful ones. Jason Short is a good one. First thing we did when our son told us of his DUI was visit a friend who is a Portland Police detective. He said he'd ask around and the next day called me with three names. I asked him if his son was facing a DUI charge who would he hire and he said Jason Short. Jason was able to get our son's charges dropped and was competent, caring, knowledgeable, skilled and and well liked/respected by the DA, the arresting officer and the DMV administrative judge. We are grateful to our friend who recommended Jason Short and we are grateful to Mr Short for taking our case and working hard and effectively on our behalf. If you find yourself facing a DUI I think he is your very best bet.

Jason Short did an amazing job representing me against false abuse allegations. Throughout the ordeal he was always in touch with me and kept me updated, and was very quick to return phone calls and emails. It definitely made the whole process easier knowing he was out there fighting for me. When it was finally time for my day in court, Jason was well prepared and didn’t leave anything up to chance. He was very thorough and comfortable in the courtroom, and obviously had a ton of experience. And he got me the not-guilty verdict that I desperately needed. I highly recommend Jason Short.

Jason Short was outstanding in handling my sons DUI case. My son's breathalyzer test was only .05, but he was still being charged with a DUI. Jason used his experience dealing with the DA's office and was able to convince the district attorney they would not win this case...all charges were dropped, including the traffic citations. After calling several attorneys in the area Jason was the only one who felt we had a shot at having the charges dismissed, most of the attorneys we talked with only wanted to discuss the diversion program. Jason was the right choice!

Jason made all my dreams come true. I had two felonies from when I was young and dumb that I couldn't get exspounged and thought I was out of options and would never be able to hunt again. Jason proved me wrong and within 2 months I had my gun rights back and now going hunting with my dad nephew and uncle this year for the first time in almost 12 years. Thank you again Jason I tell everyone that they have a chance and to give you guys a call.

Jason Short has a great deal of experience and does every thing in his power to ensure the best possible outcome for his clients. Jason did a fantastic job convincing the District Attorney to drop all charges against me before the trial date. It was a real pleasure working with Jason. Over the past 40 years I have worked with many professionals. Jason is one of the most genuine, sincere, caring persons I have worked with. He is honest, extremely bright, hard working and has a great spirit about him. I highly recommend Jason and his firm.

Jason was very professional and I had every confidence from the start that he would win my case, AND HE DID! The sheriffs denied my CCP and Jason had them reversed the denial AND I had my CCP in 3 days WITHOUT even going to court. Just his name alone gets you results. I highly recommend him. He was on top of it the whole time. The best thing is he always took my call and kept me up to date unlike some lawyers that never talk to you and leave you in the dark. If you want to win GET Jason Short!
