About Jason Short

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and attended law school at Willamette University. I’ve been practicing criminal law for over two decades (both as a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney). I’ve always believed that the best criminal defense attorneys are former prosecutors. I enjoy spending time in the great outdoors backpacking with my family, playing golf snow skiing. I have four beautiful children and one grandchild with hopefully many more grandchildren on the way.

Personal Contact: Using the Officer's Observations Against Them

03/10/2025

Written by Charles GoodwinEdited by Michelle Behan and Steven Hernandez The typical DUI investigation has three phases.
