    "They went out of their way to help"
    It was a great experience working with them. They went out of their way to help
    - J.C.
    "I would refer anyone to this firm"
    It always baffled me how much both Jason and Gary knew about the intricacies of my case at any given time. These guys work for, and show up to court for, their CLIENTS - in other words, they're not cutting a bunch of deals to clear dockets. I will never go anywhere else for legal advice - these guys are the real deal.

    "Jonathan made us feel comfortable and confident that he would work diligently on our behalf."
    The purpose of this letter is to express our appreciation for Jonathan Thacher's legal services associated with our daughter's case. Jonathan was and is always available for questions. If we left a message, he would always get back to us in a prompt fashion. It isn't easy to find such a capable lawyer who seems to be in the right job. He is caring and very attentive to us. No questions went unanswered. Jonathan made us feel comfortable and confident that he would work diligently on our behalf. In the end, we felt blessed that we had the right person to help us when we felt lost. I can't tell you how important it is to choose the right lawyers for your case. He certainly lifted a weight off our shoulder to know that Jonathan and the firm's staff were working for us and a good conclusion to our problem.
    - Edward & Sondra A.
    "Jason is the most diligent attorney"
    He went all out to help me and never gave up. I owe him all my thanks. He honestly cares and doesn't make you feel less than special.

    "Very professional and was straightforward"
    If I had to tell you how this attorney help saved my life that would have been an understatement. Very professional and was straightforward with me and didn’t tell one lie. Hes now my personal lawyer forever hopefully I’ll never need him again. But if I did I know who to call. You can tell he doesn’t have to help people the way he do. But an awesome lawyer and stand up guy

    "10/10 recommend- especially if you don’t want to leave the beach!"
    Jason Porter and Nicole Carlucci are the best attorneys in Jax Beach! Listen, no one wants to hire an attorney, but if you need one- these are the people to call. I was able to schedule a same-day appointment and they were professional, courteous, and provided an excellent outcome to my case. 10/10 recommend- especially if you don’t want to leave the beach!
    - K.M.
    "Excellent attorneys and staff"
    My family has worked with Mr. Porter several times over the years. Each of our experiences were different but the outcome was the same. We all had extremely positive results. I have referred many friends and family to Mr. Porter for assistance, and I will continue to highly recommend the firm to anyone in need of legal services.

    "Jason and his staff were very professional."
    100% success rate. I used Jason Porter's services two different times for a DUI charge. The first DUI case I never lost my license and he won the case. The second time it was a little more difficult because of the circumstances but we took it to trial and it seemed like an effortless victory. Jason and his staff were very professional and helpful through the entire process.I could not have asked for anything more. Thank you so much for everything.
