About Jason A
Jason A Barlow is a Virginia attorney who brings decades of legal practice to his work at Parks Zeigler, PLLC. He earned his juris doctor from the University of South Dakota School of Law in 1997. That academic foundation set the stage for a long career in state-level practice.
After law school he established himself in Virginia. Over the years he built a practice grounded in courtroom work and client counseling. He developed experience across a range of matters that arise under state law and learned to handle both case preparation and in-court proceedings.
Barlow joined Parks Zeigler, PLLC and rose through the firm’s ranks. He became a partner in the firm’s Chesapeake office in 2021. In that role he manages client matters, directs litigation strategy, and oversees case teams. His partners and colleagues rely on him for steady judgment in planning and carrying out trial and pretrial work.
His day-to-day practice involves advising clients on disputes and managing litigation through each phase. He prepares pleadings, conducts discovery, argues motions, and represents clients at hearings and trials when necessary. He also spends time negotiating resolutions outside the courtroom and guiding clients through procedural and substantive questions that arise in state proceedings.
Colleagues describe him as practical and unpretentious in court. He favors clear writing and direct oral advocacy. Those habits have shaped how he approaches files and mentors more junior lawyers at the firm. He balances casework with supervising team members and coordinating with clients on case strategy and expectations.
Outside the office he has maintained professional ties in the legal community. He engages in the everyday work of practicing law in Virginia courts and keeps up with developments that affect his clients. His career spans the years since he completed his legal education, through steady practice and the move into partnership.
Barlow currently practices from Parks Zeigler’s Chesapeake office. He focuses his practice on advising and representing clients in state-law matters in Virginia and handling litigation through trial when necessary.
