Edith is a Champion

Edith represented me in a child custody case during a 5 hour trial. Edith battled it out with the other attorney and showed a high degree of competence, professionalism, and determination during the trial. Edith also is empathetic and gave me the sense that she cares about her clients and their nee...ds. I am happy that I chose Edith to represent me and would use her again in family law matters. I confidently endorse her to anyone seeking a family law attorney.

An Excellent Lawyer!!!

Attorney Edith Jackson represented my son in a recent custody case that was very contentious and previously litigated badly by another lawyer. Attorney Jackson did the impossible! She was able to present an amazing defense and get an unbelievable outcome through negotiation.She skillfully did what sh...ould have been done in the original case. Attorney Jackson is a phenomenal negotiator. Her gentle disposition and beautiful smile disarms the most seasoned opponent.Mrs. Jackson and her staff are professional, caring and extremely competent. She cares about her clients and tells them the truth! She does not over promise. I was skeptical until I saw her in action. Attorney Jackson is the Consummate professional who knows her craft and does an excellent job. Thank you Attorney Jackson. You are one of the best lawyer I have had the pleasure of working with. Our family will retain you for life!

A Phenomenal Attorney

E.A. Jackson and Associates represented me during a divorce and custody case. She provided me with excellent legal services during a stressful and terrifying time in my life. I’m very grateful to have an attorney with compassion for others who fights for her clients, while ensuring the law is upheld.... She is a hard litigator and perseveres when the situation seems bleak. Often, when you are in the mist of major legal issues, you’re confused and unsure what the next steps should be. Attorney Jackson stepped in with her legal expertise and helped me through those hard days, weeks, and years…… yes, years, which allowed me to focus on healing and striving to get to a better place mentally and physically. I’ll be forever grateful for the services and the dedication of E.A. Lawson and Associates.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

Ms. Lawson-Jackson served as my divorce attorney in 2010. She provided excellent legal advice and strategy. My divorce was completed in a timely manner without unnecessary acrimony.
