I hired Jason after about 6 months into my divorce - my ex was walking all over me and abusing the system to harass me. My previous lawyer was skillful as well, but he just wasn’t equipped to handle my very difficult ex-husband. His team is extremely skillful, detail oriented, and I trust them to give me solid and honest legal advice. His associate attorney, George Peniche, is amazing as well. George’s knowledge of evidentiary rules and case-law is impressive, so is the quality and efficiency of his work. I should also add that their team is highly respected by judges, which helps immensely. I can’t recommend him enough.

Jason Schwartz was the senior partner and overall legal strategist of my case. I can't say enough good about Jason. He took on the most contentious issue of my case--child custody--and knew exactly what to do. He kept the case out of court and successfully negotiated 40% custody for me and a probable shift to 50% custody in 2019. I can't say enough good about how that will benefit the children in the years to come. I thoroughly recommend him and SGSB, which overall was a very professional and knowledgeable legal organization.

We hired Jason for an out of district family matter. He committed to handle the litigation and we hired him. 3 days before, he notifies us he will be sending his research atty in his place and he cannot make the court date-- and it was a debacle. he and his partners didn't fight for our position- they simply attempted to mediate to resolution.. with the amount of $$ spent, we are still at square 1 with this case- I have hired another attorney

I Had a terrible experience. The front office staff was very professional but Mr. Schwartz was not, after paying for a consultation and giving the requested retainer his continued to demand more money before he would file my initial discovery. Unfortunately because of this, I missed important deadlines with the court. Soon after the deadlines were missed he sent me a change of attorney in which I was forced to represent myself in court... the worst part was he he wrote off my balance and then sold the debt to a collection agency without my knowledge. Rockpile the new owner of my debt started collection as soon as my divorce was final, leaving me with a large bill and no way to pay it.. I am now on a 20 year payment plan! Had I know this would happen I would have had it included in the final judgement. Be very cautious unless you have deep pockets...
