Thomas Dean Jackson Jr.

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.

I Was charged with dui 6/13/2020 my case was wrapped up with a dwai 3/25/2022 however, beyond the lower charge. I found Tom and his team to be friendly enough people, but, not versed in the ins and outs, or tenacious enough. The lower charge came with a term of interim probation, which I completed... successfully. Tom assured me he would in a month or so, push to get the probation ended early since it had already been a year and a half since my arraignment (I had to ask multiple times for him to look into it) Toms team assured me that I would be facing just a 90 day suspension with the dwai(I questioned it because I did have a prior dwai) but they assured me they looked into it. Come to find out I’m facing a 6 month revocation, and all I got out of Tom’s staff(not even Tom himself) was a half hearted apology. I waited all this time for the lesser charge for the lower suspension time, for nothing, in actuality between the time spent, and the probation requirement my punishment is harsher than had I taken the original plea of dui(no probation, same 6 month suspension) I would’ve been well past this. Friendly, but between feeling like I had to advocate for myself hard to get a response, and the outcome. I feel like Tom and team made the situation worse, which is the opposite of what an attorney should do. Wish I went elsewhere

He was a good attorney in the fact that he was responsive and happy to represent me in front of the court for my DUI case ... at the beginning. That made the experience better than I had expected. After my court date, I was not able to get in touch with Thomas about my case 1-2 months after. I ca...lled his personal cell and firm but was not able to reach him and had no call back after leaving a voicemail and my number. 7 months later, I get a call about my case and apparently they sent the wrong phone number - which has turned my personal situation from bad to worse (not going to discuss). I recommend the assistants/attorney to be more responsive to their clients especially when they already paid a huge sum of money. Overall, Thomas is a good attorney, but lacks in responsiveness once the case is over.

I was stopped for speeding and arrested for a DUI. I called Mr. Jackson and met with him the next day. He explained to me the worst and best case scenarios, which was very helpful since this is my first encounter with being arrested (I am 62 years old). HI Paralegal gave me more of the details of ...what to expect and what to do proactively to help my case. With his experience and familiarity with the DA’s office he was able to reduce the DUI to an AI ( a misdemeanor) and completely expunge the speeding violation (86 in a 55). He performed well beyond my expectations and I would wholeheartedly recommend him and his office.
