A Fierce and Trustworthy Attorney – 17+ Years of Proven Results

I’ve been represented by Jozefa Jackson for over 17 years across a range of legal matters, including child custody, criminal defense, and PFA (Protection From Abuse) cases. In every instance, she has demonstrated unmatched legal knowledge, professionalism, and dedication. Jozefa responds quickly t...o emails and phone calls, making sure I always feel supported and informed. She doesn’t shy away from tough cases—in fact, she tackles them head-on with passion and precision. Whether it was fighting for my parental rights, defending my freedom, or navigating sensitive protection orders, Jozefa gave each case her all. Thanks to her tireless work and strategic approach, I’ve never lost a battle with her in my corner. I trust her completely and would strongly recommend her to anyone in need of a smart, reliable, and fearless attorney.

A dependable and considerate lawyer who genuinely cares

I had spoken to a few lawyers prior to hiring Ms Jackson, her consultation was the first one that made me feel heard and understood; like she truly saw the big and small picture. I felt like an actual person instead of another client. Thanks to her the court process was simple and even my minor stre...ss points were given attention and care through the whole process. I believe she specializes in custody, but she handled my whole divorce and put down all the mischaracterized accusations thrown my way. I have a fair and equitable post divorce and suffered no serious damages to credit or other typical post divorce losses. I got the 50/50 custody arrangement I petitioned for and see my child often, and have equal authority towards her well being. I would hire Jozefa again in a heart beat, and truly believe that if I hired anyone else I would not have been successful in defending myself.

A light in my darkest hour

Jozefa saved my home. After having another lawyer for 3years, I was about to loose my home through divorce. Within 9 months of hiring her my divorce settled and I still have my home. She stepped up and made things happen. She called him on his lies and held him accountable for his statements that had... no proof. She has a heart for the mistreated. She will leave no stone unturned to get you justice. I am so grateful I hired her. It was a life saving decision.

Best attorney - caring, hard working, knowledgable

I was in the middle of a custody case where I was losing my children, and my former attorney basically told me all was lost and there was nothing to be done. Desperately I looked for another attorney, and found Jozefa Jackson to be literally a life saver. She genuinely cared about my situation - she ...believed in my case and fought for the truth. Against tremendous odds, she was able to help me win my case and get my children back. She went above and beyond, working at all hours of the day and night to make sure she had all the information and was prepared to defend me, allowing me to text and call her with emergencies even beyond regular office hours, and coaching me in dealing with my ex as he fought me in court. Jozefa is not only an amazing attorney. She is an amazing human being, she genuinely cares about her clients, and she will do anything to help her clients. I even turned to her for help with another legal situation, after she had won my custody case, and she helped me through that as well. I would highly recommend Jozefa Jackson to anyone and everyone. I am so thankful for her hard work and for her help. For anyone who feels like there is no hope, reach out to Jozefa Jackson. She can help you.

The absolute best

Jozefa is hands down the best attorney I have ever worked with. In the past 10 years I have had three other attorneys and she is by far the best. I wish I would have met her the first time for custody because I believe if I had things would have been much different than what they were. It took a lot ...of work but she got my situation fixed. The first time I went to custody court with Jozefa, she showed me that I made the right decision by hiring her. She was so prepared and you could definitely see how much time and effort she put into my case. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have primary custody of my son and he wouldn't be thriving the way he is. She is a shark in the court room and has been 100 percent honest with me and hard working for me since the first day I met her. I am so glad that I have her in my corner and am so grateful for all she has done for me and my family. She is the best attorney in Lancaster county in my opinion.
