Jozefa goes above & beyond!

She knows her cases, she cares about her clients. she makes me feel important, she doesn't treat me like a job... She cares about my kids too! She is honest, she won't do things unnecessarily just to run up your bill. I would be lost without her!

Jozefa is the BEST Attorney I have ever met.

I originally hired Jozefa a year ago for child custody and have re-hired her a little over a month ago. I have been dealing with a very challenging child custody situation for 13 yrs. I have hired other attorneys in the past and was displeased with their apathy, lack of work on my case and and gros...s over-charging methods. I was shocked at how reasonable Jozefa's rates are. She charged me HALF of what another attorney charged me TEN years ago, when I first had to go to court for conferences. Jozefa has a heart for children. She is a true advocate and cares very deeply for the children and what they are going through. She fought my case with integrity, grace and energy! She was prepared far more than any other attorney I have ever seen. She knew my case from memory and presented very strong every time we went to court. She was very good about getting back to me quickly with answers to my questions, and guiding me through the court process. I read these reviews before I met her. I am glad I ignored the ONE negative review. The fact that there were inconsistencies in that negative review, made me question the validity of the complaint. Jozefa does not deserve that nasty review. It certainly was not MY experience or that of others whom I have talked to that hired her. She came highly recommended to me as well. Her main goal is the children, protecting them and fighting for their rights. That was my focus as well, so she was the right attorney for me!! My family and I will ALWAYS be thankful for what she did for us. I am so thankful to have met her and highly recommend her!

Ms. Jackson was wonderful.....She gave me back my son.

I would never write a review unless I had a need to share an experience that was so overwhelming. I was more emotional and scared than I ever was in my entire life when I went to see Jozefa Jackson for a consultation. I thought I would lose my son. There were so many threats. She calmly let me kn...ow what needed to be done, and then she proceeded to make the horrible situation go away. She told me she "couldn't guarantee any specific results", but she helped achieve more than I could have hoped for. I can only say one thing: If you are in a custody battle, make sure you have an attorney that cares more about your child than she does about money. Mine did.

Horrible lawyer

I hired jozefa with only 8 weeks till my custody hearing so time was an issue.She started to prepared a petition to file an then she disappeared for 9 days.She came back an we explained to her how important communication was an she promised it wouldn't happen again but the very next week again no ans...wer call or emails.By this time we are 5 weeks to my hearing an again same excuses.long story short I had 23 days to trial no petition like she promised an she completely has not returned an emails or telephone calls.I was left high an dry waiting on this hearing for 4 years no only without any idea what's going on but no money cause we exhausted all our options to pay her a flat fee.It was one of the most stressful an horrible experience I have been threw.

The facts are quite different than stated in your review. That being said, I am very happy that you prevailed and now have primary custody of your child. Warm wishes for a wonderful future. You, your daughter and your entire family deserve all the best. Jozefa
