Intelligent, Hard Working, Thoughtful, and Highly Principled

I work with Kathleen on the board of a non-profit radio station. She is the first to advocate for inclusion and thoughtful process. She works to make sure that the board has a shared understanding of our directives and the outcomes we have committed to. She is also quick to volunteer whenever she is ...able to take on tasks that are meaningful to the success of the station. She is also fun to work with, and always able to see a positive path forward.

Review of Kathleen Jackson

I hired Kathleen Jackson on two different occasions and each one of them was handled with utmost care and professionalism. I also appreciated her excellent communication skills and the care on a personal level instead of just handling me as a “case.” She’s an expert in her field and a gem of a person.... Highly recommend!

Landlord or tenant lawyer | Jul 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Kathleen is a brilliant legal tactician. She has a keen insight into the law, a quick mind, and a courageous spirit. She’s a frequent presence at the housing court, and has contributed untold hours assisting low income tenants on a pro bono basis as the lawyer for the day in both the Springfield in Pittsfield court houses. I have referred several clients to her and received only glowing reviews of Kathleen’s representation and tremendous gratitude for the great results she obtained. I give Kathleen my highest recommendation."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
