Jason Melton is an excellent personal injury attorney. He is attentive to his clients and files. An excellent advocate all around. I highly recommend Jason Melton.

I have had the opportunity to discuss numerous legal issues with Jason. He is a sharp litigator and staunch advocate for his clients. His knowledge of personal injury and criminal law matters, and Florida litigation in general, is among the best attorneys I have worked with. I would highly recommend him to those seeking counsel in these areas of law.
