Skilled and Experienced Attorney

Attorney Jackson has an excellent understanding of the big picture and will work tirelessly for her clients. I have many times witnessed her ability to skillfully negotiate agreements and litigate matters--successfully helping her clients achieve their goals.

Excellent lawyer in Western Mass

Highly recommend Attorney Jackson. She is seasoned litigator, a tremendous advocate for her clients, and goes the extra mile to provide comprehensive representation.

Excellence

Kathleen Jackson was consulted when my teenager faced potential sudden and unexpected legal trouble. Kathleen arrived to the police station within 5 minutes of our contacting her and made all the difference in the world to the outcome. She instructed us quickly and precisely in what we should say or ...not say and communicated with the police officer, drawing the issue to a satisfactory close, literally within a half hour. Additionally, Kathleen Jackson volunteered for two years on the Human Right Committee (HRC) for the non-profit organization which I am the director of. The state requires that an attorney sit on the HRC to review and comment, from a legal perspective, on Human Rights issues which the adults with disabilities served by our organization faces. Attorney Jackson was extremely helpful, professional and dedicated in this role.

Quality legal work

Kathleen Jackson represented my son in a court matter regarding driving privileges. She was extremely diligent and thoughtful. She consulted with us (myself and my son) often through the process and represented our concerns clearly and thoroughly. It was a lengthy process and her support and work did... not flag over time. She helped see us through difficult time to a great outcome. Thanks Attorney Jackson!

Invaluable help giving with speed and kindness!

I needed some advice on Masshealth and Kathleen gave it with ease and clarity. The advice was about applying for MassHealth and ways in which to do that and who to talk to. She also counseled me regarding my sister who is mentally ill and might be moving to Berkshire County and ways in which to... make that happen. She took great care and thought in answering my questions and was clear when she did not know and pointed me in the right direction on how to proceed. Invaluable help giving with speed and kindness!

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.
