The absolute best

I thought when 4 firms completely shut me down that i was out of options and would lose my job 3 weeks from then. I was told this isn’t a good enough reason, you’d be wasting money, there’s no point, and that the time frame was too short for anything to be done. That is until i was recommended to Sar...a who when i called the day after, had already looked over my case and told me we had something. I could tell from that call that she would do whatever possible in order to help and she certainly did. I am forever grateful!

Shes worth every penny!

I was facing 3 class E felonies. Sara Jackson had got me off with probation, a bit of community service and a misdemeanor. I can't even begin to explain how greatfull i am to have had Sara to defend me! Sara Jackson is very thorough and a fantastic communicator. She walked me through the entire proc...ess and helped me to understand exactly what was going on. She did not stop fighting for me throughout my entire proceedings. She was always avaible to answer any questions or concerns. I hope to never have to use her services again, but i highly recommend her, and I have recommended her to people, who she has helped as well. If you ever find yourself in any sort of trouble, Sara Jackson would be your best choice! Rest assure, you will be in excellent hands!

I hired Sara to work on my Article 78 petition and I was not disappointed. She is extremely knowledgeable about the law and the court system. She walks you through the process and breaks things down so you can understand the next steps. She was always available to take my calls or questions and the o...utcome of my case was fantastic!

"Sara is a rock star in court. I found her to be highly persuasive and a top-notch criminal defense attorney. I've been a lawyer for almost 24 years and rarely have I seen the legal skills that she possesses. She fights, she argues, she persuades. Judges love her, prosecutors fear her, and her clients applaud her. If you've run afoul of the law, she is the person to call."
