Jason was a breeze to work with. There were some hiccups on how long it took to close our case (that were our fault, not his). He was extremely patient and diligent as we worked through that. Would 10 out of 10 recommend him in the future.

I highly recommend Jason Fletes. He has represented my husband and I in a custody case, a civil matter, and a criminal case. He did an outstanding job in all three! Throughout every step, he was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had our best interest throughout the process. These situations were stressful and emotional, but Jason explained everything clearly and made us feel confident and supported. We will continue to use Jason for any future legal needs that we may have.

I have a benefit through my husbands employment that allows access to attorneys. The attorney Jason Fletes picked up the case. Called him and I got the impression that I was bothering him. He seem annoyed, then decided not to proceed because he's in overland park and I'm in Topeka. I have NEVER had any issues with an attorney in overland park because I lived an hour a way. I was told to seek help in Shawnee County. IF there was an attorney available, they would've picked it up. Thank God he didn't take my case because I would have fired him immediately due to his attitude.

Never hired or worked with Jason personally but in the last year I’ve had to deal with a court case for visitation/parenting plan. It’s been emotional and hard to deal with. Twice I have called and asked for any advice or help from Jason. He has given me his time and attention along with wonderful extremely helpful advice. His 20min phone call has helped me more than anyone else has, including my own lawyer. Gave me peace of mind and confidence moving forward. If I wasn’t in Lawrence, Ks I would hire him in a heartbeat.
The steps I’m making now that have been in the best interest of my child and myself are because of him. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone seeking help or advice.
Thank you! -Sydney

Mr. Fletes has been our company's attorney for several years now and with good results. He is forthright helping navigate the legal side of business operations on the good, the bad and the ugly with items ranging anywhere from collections and potential litigation for non-payments to in-depth contract reviews and contract drafting as a few examples.
The knowledge he provides through the years of his in-court appearances and understanding of the different "personalities" within counties and municipalities, along with diligent research of case law to provide a basis for his advise, has provided us the ability to make an educated decision on legal matters in a more cost effective manner. To put it another way, he has told us the "ugly" we didn't hope to hear on something he knew, backing up his advise based on experience and case -law research, rather than continued billing of the retainer. He has also been a good resource for quality referrals to other attorneys or firms on legal matters that he does not specialize in.

Jason was informative, patient, and helpful with my estate planning. He answered all my calls & in house questions. The process was seamless. I appreciated the list of actions I needed to take after the process as there were items I would have overlooked.

Working with Jason was a great experience! Because I lived in another state, flexibility and responsiveness were key components for my decision in selecting an attorney. This attorney was very knowledgeable about the probate process. Jason was almost always available via telephone, and email and if he wasn't, his paralegal picked up where he left off and completed the task. This entire process ran smoothly without any issues. I highly recommend Jason Fletes as your legal representation for Wills and Probate!
