A Brilliant Attorney and a Wonderful Person

Sometimes things happen in life and you need immediate help and guidance. Sometimes this need occurs at 4:00am in the early morning. We were beyond lucky that Tom Jackson personally answered the phone at that time. Not only was Tom understanding, comforting and reassuring, he jumped into action an...d was there to represent us in court at 8:00am. From that moment on, Tom was always available and either answered texts or calls almost immediately. Tom's knowledge of the Broome County legal system is unmatched. He knows the players and most importantly, knows how navigate the system. Tom kept us in the loop of every meeting, hearing or conference that was happening. When all was said and done, Tom got our case dismissed with the best possible outcome. To say that we recommend Tom Jackson is not enough. Tom is an honest, trustworthy and brilliant litigator. He is also one of the nicest and kindest people you will ever meet. I am overjoyed by our experience with Tom. Tom is the type of person you want to represent you and his kindness will help you through your hardest moments in life.

After thorough research, I definitely made the right choice.

I can confidently recommend Mr. Thomas Jackson. He was clearly the most qualified and experienced lawyer in this area and has a close rapport with several of the local court systems. He has been in practice for enough time to really know what he is doing and I felt confident that my case was handled ...without any missteps. I did my own research and consulted with some friends who practice law in other parts of the country, so I had a lot of detailed questions and Mr. Jackson replied in a way that demonstrated his extensive knowledge base. While no particular outcome is ever guaranteed, I was fortunate to have a better outcome than I had hoped for, thanks to Mr. Jackson. I would highly recommend him. His team was courteous and helpful as well!

Attorney Jackson

Attorney Jackson was really helpful in my son's case by providing us with different possible options we could take. He answered every and all of the questions we asked with much detail.

First Class...

Tom Jackson and his office were instrumental in helping me with the best possible outcome of my case. As a whole, the office works as a 'team' and never did I walk into this office and someone 'not' know me. It seemed as though everyone had an opinion, professional advice and threw in their experie...nce when it came to dealing with my specific situation. They explain things to the fullest, especially to those such as myself that do not know the law. They 'know' the Law. And more importantly, I walked into the courtroom feeling a lot less stressed because I knew I had these professionals by my side. I highly recommend Thomas Jackson and his team; just go in and talk to them if you have an issue, they'll help with offering worthwhile solutions.

Definitely best Criminal Defence Attorney!!!

We live out of town but we heared about Mr. Tom Jacksons great reputations and success rate! We contacted him directly and he kindly agreed to represent us. Our case settled very fast and he made sure that we didnt have to worry about the case. We are more than satisfied! I would like to mention his ...fees are absolutely reasonable. And we thank him very much for all the effort he puts in, for making us quite comfortable through the process and for the victory!! He is quite knowledgeable and of course his long years experience as DA in the county has great values. He is a well known and respected attorney, and also very humble and friendly! We know that he will be the one to go to in case of our future matters! We thank Tom very much and his team for their great support!!

"I worked for Tom for over a year as an associate attorney. Tom's knowledge of criminal procedure and his ability to calmly assess a situation and formulate a strategy is a quality that I try to emulate in my own practice. He cares deeply about the outcome of every case, and he and his partner Ben Bergman taught me everything I know about how attorneys should treat their clients and colleagues.
