Why Our Clients Recommend
Our Approach to Representation

Making the first decision to file for divorce with a young child was hard enough but then thinking about finding the right attorney to help me through this trying time was almost just as scary. During a divorce there are a range of emotions that go through your head and sometimes ideas of what should and shouldn’t be agreed to in a divorce. Jason Ortega was who I decided to go with and I am so glad I did. Jason was very upfront and honest with me and did not make unrealistic promises about unrealistic expectations. He was willing to hear me out and give me different options to help navigate my divorce in the best interest of myself and my son. Jason was extremely professional and well prepared for anything my divorce threw his way and boy was there many… to say the least. Although thankfully I was able to come to an agreement in mediation, Jason was ready, willing, and with guns a blazing ready to fight for me and my wants in court if needed. I am so thankful I had Jason as my attorney and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Minton’s professionalism, knowledge and dedication were most appreciated. He and his team always had the best interest in mind. It is amazing to have a lawyer who is compassionate who listens when necessary and takes actions as needed.

After talking to many different lawyers I met with attorney Perry Minton who was recommended to me by someone who has done his homework before retaining him for his own case. Mr.Minton took the time to listen to my case and immediately made me feel like I was in good hands. He and his legal staff were diligent in organizing all the information and facts and in submitting all of the documents on time. Mr. Minton’s professionalism, knowledge and dedication were most appreciated. He and his team always had the best interest in mind. It is amazing to have a lawyer who is compassionate who listens when necessary and takes actions as needed. Mr.Minton was able to find a lot of details during the discovery process. He was an expert in cross examination and made his presence known in the court room. The divorce process took two years which resulted in a jury trial. Mr.Minton and his team was always there through this time and yes of course we won. If you are looking for an attorney that will treat you right, know the law and will go above and beyond, then Mr.Minton is the person to go to.

Mr. Bassett is the lawyer that you need when everything is on the line. Due to one stupid decision, I watched my career that I worked towards the last 9 years of my life flash in front of my eyes. After meeting with many other lawyers, I knew immediately Mr. Bassett was going to be the right lawyer for me. Not only did Mr. Bassett represent me well, he stood by my side throughout the entire 11 month process answering all of my questions and meeting with me in person. Sam Bassett’s attentive attitude and superior representation helped me get my case DISMISSED. Not only can I enjoy my normal life again, I can continue to focus on my career that I love and worked so hard for. Thank you Mr. Bassett I am forever grateful for what you have done for me.
