I am a life long Broome County resident. My family and I live in the City of Binghamton. I am a former prosecutor having worked at the Broome County District Attorney's Office for the last nine years. While in the office I held the position of Felony DWI Prosecutor prosecuting felony level DWI cases in Broome County. While in this position I handled hundreds of DWI cases from initial arrest to grand jury and into trial.
After my time in the DWI position I primarily handled drug cases, both sales and possession charges. I also assisted law enforcement in the writing of search warrants. I also supervised for the past eight years most of the complex narcotics eavesdropping cases. In these types of cases law enforcement is granted authority to "eavesdrop" on someones telephone. While in the DA's Office I took approximately 35 felony cases to jury trial in Broome County Court and took approximately 40 misdemeanor cases to trial. The cases ranged from DWI, Drug Sales and Possession, Burglary, Robbery, Assault, Larceny, Perjury, Criminal Mischief and many others.
I was also promoted to the position of Senior in Charge of the Local Courts in Broome County. In this position I supervised all of the local court attorneys in Broome County. These attorneys handle every misdemeanor case throughout the County. They also prosecute every traffic ticket in the County.

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...

Satisfied client
Amazing! If you’re looking for someone who knows the system and exactly what they’re doing, then I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Mr. Jackson. Some attorneys can care less about the outcome; they are just in it for the money, not Mr. Jackson. Mr. Jackson really goes to bat for his clients with intentions of smac...
Thank you! So glad it worked out the way it did.

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 ...
Thank you for the thoughtful review! I am glad it worked out well for you!

Best in the business!!
I was accused of something I did not do. My wife and I were extremely upset. From the moment I met Tom Jackson I had complete faith in his abilities. Tom is not only professional, knowledgeable, and extremely smart but compassionate as well. His whole team makes you feel at ease. Tom takes you throug...
The whole office is so happy for you! It was a pleasure working for you! Good luck in the future!

Reassuring and Excellent in his field
Tom is very knowledgeable in the area of DWI and DWAI, etc. My son was charged with this and of course we were extremely upset at him as well as very scared as to what would happen never being up against the law. Tom was very calm and reassuring. He explained everything in detail and let us know a...
"I endorse this lawyer because I have worked with Tom and seen first hand how his knowledge and experience can help his client's achieve the best outcome possible. As a former prosecutor he has the ability to properly analyze a case and recognize the strengths and weaknesses of the proof. He is an asset to the DWI/criminal defense community."
"I have known Tom for almost 30 years. He is smart, hard working and exactly the person you would want to go to for help. I have referred clients to him and been very pleased with the feed back from those clients. Tom is a great choice if you need some legal help."
"I endorse Tom Jackson, Esq. without reservation. While I was an Assistant District Attorney, I had many opportunities to work with Mr. Jackson. While Mr. Jackson always zealously represented his clients, he was always professional, courteous and reasonable during our many interactions, be it during plea negotiations or jury trial. Lastly, his knowledge of DWIs in particular, but also other criminal charges is extensive. If you have a DWI, he is your guy."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Tom when he was a prosecutor and found him to be fair and efficient. I have referred criminal cases to him with excellent results. He knows the criminal justice system inside and out, and would recommend him to anyone needing criminal representation."
"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. And besides being a great attorney, Tom taught me most of what I know about how to run a successful law practice. I am proud to endorse him."
"I've referred clients to Tom in the past. He has a well-deserved reputation as an excellent DUI attorney. I recommend him highly."
"I have worked with Mr. Jackson for a number of years, both as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney. He brings a wealth of experience to his practice, and interacts well with his clients, fellow attorneys, judges and prosecutors. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Tom is a terrific lawyer with a proven track record in the area of criminal law and DWI defense. In addition, he is skilled at developing positive, long-term relationships with clients."
