One client told Chambers, "his work, as always, has been stellar. He has provided exemplary service to me." Market observers have described him as a "sound, technical lawyer" who "always has a sense of calm around him even if the situation gets out of hand." Jason has also been repeatedly recognized in The Legal 500 United States and described as a "technically very solid and level-headed lawyer" with "deep capital markets experience."

Jason has been an active member of the Maryland legal community. He obtained his Juris Doctor from Washington and Lee University where he graduated magna cum laude, and obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Pittsburgh where he graduated summa cum laude.
