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.

Domestic Violence

Ms. Jackson took on my protective order case Pro Bono. I was facing domestic violence charges when my ex falsely accused me of child abuse to gain emergency custody. Ms. Jackson was very professional and showed compassion as she argued my case and got the order dismissed. I would highly recommend he...r as she was also very knowledgeable in family court issues.

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.

Smart, Compassionate and Highly-Competent Advocate

Ms. Lawson-Jackson served as my attorney for a family law case. She was a phenomenal advocate for me and my son and we won our case. From the beginning she listened and offered excellent ideas about how to approach the case in a way that was affordable and effective for our situation. Ms. Lawson-J...ackson is a fierce and smart attorney in the courtroom who covered every angle. She gave me everything I needed so that I was prepared for court day. I felt especially secure and informed because she had such a strong knowledge and feel for the different judges and procedures of the courthouse. I always felt secure with this attorney. I appreciate the patience and understanding she showed me throughout the entire process. Hiring an attorney can be an expensive and stressful endeavor but hiring Edith Lawson-Jackson was a pleasure. There was a lot of comfort knowing that I had an attorney who was as competent and compassionate as Edy. She is definitely worth your time and resources.
