Jason Cerbone is an exceptional attorney who accomplished the nearly impossible. My company and I retained Jason Cerbone and his firm who came highly recommended to us to handle an arrest warrant hearing for Simple Battery. The charges that were sought were false, and should never have seen he inside of a court room. The person seeking the hearing caused a disruption in my place of employment and where he attacked an employee of mine. When he refused to leave multiple times, I called the police to assist. Once I did that, he began to scream that he was being touched and assaulted which never happened. There is significant background to this matter but the main point of this review is to advise anyone who retains Jason Cerbone, wether for his specialty of DUI Defense or a matter such as this that he goes above and beyond with due diligence, he is candid and direct and knows the laws, statutes and sticks to the facts rather than the emotion that often comes with legal matters. He is an attorney that is concerned only with how to address the charge, and how to prove it is false so you as the client can move on with your life. At the hearing, Jason conducted himself professionally and pragmatically and addressed the witnesses with direct questions and struck home his points with facts. Because the burden of proof is so minute under the law, we knew early on that it would be likely that the Judge was going to find probable cause even though he did not agree with this case even being in front of him and that ultimately was what occurred. I am a professional and I protected my employee and firm and never grabbed this man as alleged. I have never been in trouble in my life with any thing of this nature and was devastated at the Judge’s ruling. But here is where Jason’s knowledge and experience and ability to read people including the Judge came into play for the benefit of his client. He asked the Judge for a moment with the person making the allegations to see if he could resolve it. The Judge allowed them to exit the courtroom to talk. This is unheard of, but because the Judge clearly did not feel this should tie up the court and legal system and Jason could see that, he clearly trusted in Jason’s desire to bring resolution to the matter. Upon re-entry, Jason advised the Judge and Court that no resolution could be obtained. When the Judge asked the person why, it was clear he was only interested in pursuit at any cost. The Judge re-evaluated his initial ruling, the allegation and CHANGED his ruling to NO Probable cause.
I don’t believe this is something that happens often if ever, especially in a warrant hearing for the allegation of Simple Battery. It is my opinion, and that of my firm that it was because of Jason’s desire to see justice done, and resolution for a matter that had no basis that there was a second opportunity for the Judge to re-evaluate his ruling. Had Jason not taken this action I believe the initial ruling would have stood and my life would be very different at this moment.
I am personally indebted to Jason and his firm. My company is indebted as well. Should you retain Jason you can trust in his advice, his experience, and his desire to see justice prevail. You are in good hands making the decision to retain the Cerbone DUI Defense Law Firm. Thank you to the entire staff and to Jason, my sincerest appreciation to you for your candor and defense of my case.
