Jason J. Ricardo is a Found­ing Mem­ber of Ricardo, Wasy­lik & Kaniuk, PL (“RW&K”), and serves as Over­all Co-Managing Part­ner and Man­ag­ing Part­ner for RW&K’s West Coast Offices (in Dade City and Tampa) and Chair of the Fam­ily Law and Lit­i­ga­tion Departments.

Jason has been prac­tic­ing law in the state of Florida since 1995, dur­ing which time he has lit­i­gated more than 20 jury tri­als and hun­dreds of adver­sar­ial hear­ings. It is Jason’s exten­sive expe­ri­ence in the court­room that sets him apart from “paper push­ers” whose sole expe­ri­ence in the area of fore­clo­sure involves han­dling the paper­work asso­ci­ated with mort­gages, titles and signings.

Prior to found­ing his own firm, Jason served as a State Pros­e­cu­tor in Pen­sacola and was a suc­cess­ful lit­i­ga­tor at some of Cen­tral Florida’s most respected law firms.

As a Florid­ian and a home­owner, it is only nat­ural that Jason would have devel­oped a keen inter­est in the legal issues affect­ing Florid­i­ans, and has focused his prac­tice in the areas of Fam­ily Law, Unem­ploy­ment Lit­i­ga­tion and Fore­clo­sure Defense Law.

Jason takes a highly per­sonal approach to the prac­tice of law. He is ded­i­cated to help­ing his clients sur­vive tough eco­nomic times and cope with the oner­ous bur­den of debt. In short, like the other attor­neys at RW&K, he is com­mit­ted to help­ing peo­ple get a sec­ond chance at finan­cial security.

Jason earned his juris doc­tor­ate from the Florida State Uni­ver­sity Col­lege of Law, with hon­ors, and also won the Book Award in Estate Plan­ning. A Florida res­i­dent for most of his life, he has lived in Dade City since 1996. Jason has been mar­ried for 11 years and is the father of three boys and one girl.
