I engaged Jason to assist in a collaborative divorce process after interviewing 10 other referred lawyers for the engagement. During my interview process, I asked each of the other lawyers who they would hire for a collaborative case (if I were to engage another lawyer) and Jason was repeatedly recommended by the other lawyers, which was the primary reason I engaged him. From the outset Jason was thorough in explaining the process and my options, compassionate about the situation in general and proactive in proposing strategic options to bring the matter to conclusion with as little conflict as possible. Jason is a good listener and is particularly adept at winning the trust of all parties in a negotiation. In my instance, I think my former wife had more trust in Jason than her own lawyers. Jason also did a good job of maintaining cost efficiencies by directly handling what made sense for a senior lawyer to handle and also delegating to junior lawyers only when appropriate. Throughout my matter, Jason was absolutely excellent. I would recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.

I was referred to Jason by a good friend. He is very responsive, listens and has the right balance of guidance while letting you stay in control. Also, not only as well-versed on the legal/financial issues of divorce but the emotional toll it brings as well. Would definitely recommend him.

I hired Jason to represent me in a collaborative divorce process. He explained the process and helped me prepare for each session with the collaborative team. He provided excellent advice at every stage of the process. He was a steady hand during a difficult time. I am also an attorney and can attest to the high quality of his legal analysis and work product.

Having to go through a divorce during Covid is not ideal. I met Jason once in person and immediately knew he was the person that I wanted to represent me. The rest of my divorce was handled through zoom calls, telephone calls, and emails. Jason was always available to help me navigate this time. He was firm but kind. I knew he always had my back and was willing to work with my ex and his attorney to come to mutual agreements. Jason was the constant professional but also someone who really cared and listened to all my concerns. His advice was always on point. I couldn't imagine going through this process with anyone other than him in my corner.

Jason came highly recommended by a retired judge. He was the consummate professional and skillfully handled every aspect of this painful process. He was tough when he needed to be, knew when to pull back, and was always available to answer questions and calm me down which was not which was not an easy feat. He was conscious of my financial situation and had a great team to help reduce costs when they could. He was able to get a fair settlement for me and I would recommend him most highly.

I could not imagine going through this process without the help of Jason. The idea of a collaborative divorce was new to me. His guidance through the process was invaluable helping complete the divorce about as smoothy as can be expected. I always felt as if Jason was available to discuss strategy, options, or even to hear me vent! lol. Beyond his great credentials, Jason is a good guy that supports his clients, listens to their needs, and gets the job done. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Jason was referred to me by a friend who holds Jason in high regard, and I retained him to handle my divorce in 2018. From the first consultation, I knew that I had chosen the right attorney, as I felt that Jason genuinely wanted to help. Throughout the divorce process, Jason displayed a high level of professionalism and expertise, and he was extremely responsive to my emails. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my divorce, and I will always be grateful to Jason and his team for their role in making an emotional and stressful situation more bearable. I would recommend Jason Sposeep without hesitation.

Jason is highly professional and dedicated attorney. I retained him for my collaborative divorce process and can honestly say that without his support and guidance it could have been much more challenging and emotionally stressful on all involved. He helped with navigating through the process and finalizing in very short order. Would highly recommend Jason and the collaborative divorce process.
