Experience is the key

Custody cases are always scary because you just never know how it will end. Attorney Jackson represented my brother a few years ago, so I knew going in of the dedication, time and attention she gives to each of her cases. After see how successful she was with my brother, I knew I wanted Attorney Jac...kson to represent me. Attorney Jackson made me feel at ease during my consult. She answered all of my questions thoroughly. She’s does what’s in the best interest of her clients , she’s experienced and she knows the law. Once she took on my case, I knew I was in great hands and ultimately won my case. I would absolutely recommend Attorney Jackson and her staff.

Child Custody/Visitation

It gives me great pleasure to leave a glowing review for Attorney Edith Lawson-Jackson. Originally I hired Attorney Jackson to handle my divorce and custody case back in 2017/2018. Ms. Jackson made sure that my divorce went smoothly and I received the custody arrangement that I was asking for. T...hings went so well I rehired Ms. Jackson to modify the custody a few years later. In 2021/22 I wanted a modification to the original custody order due to a change of circumstances and what was in the best interest of my now 6 year old daughter. As you may know, it's extremely hard for father's in this system, especially black fathers. In spite of the sometimes unfair treatment of fathers, Ms. Jackson was able to get me a custody arrangement that allows my daughter live with me throughout the week. This structure and consistency was extremely important for the growth and development of my daughter. Attorney Jackson knew how important that was to me and she made it happen. Unlike other attorneys I've had in the past Attorney Jackson has been highly responsive, knowledgeable and honest. She's never promised anything that she couldn't deliver just to get my business. If it was something that I was asking for and she knew from her years of experience it most likely wouldn't happen she would be 100% honest. If you're looking for an Attorney that's has the wisdom, experience and a welcoming personality, I highly recommend Attorney Jackson.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

Ms. Jackson is very skilled and thorough in family law representation. She represented me for a d.v./ custody case in 2018. Ms. Jackson is very knowledgeable in the law and kept me informed throughout the process. The case against me was denied and I have Ms. Jackson to thank for her diligence as... well as her comfort to me during such a stressful time. I strongly recommend her as an attorney; she is amazing at what she does.
