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.

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.

Epitome of Knowledge and Professionalism

I hired Attorney Jackson to represent me in a divorce case in the state of Maryland. After the initial consultation, she gathered and presented specific evidence to present a rock-solid case before the court. Attorney Jackson is an aggressive litigator and leaves no stone unturned and nothing to ch...ance on behalf of her clients when dealing with opposing counsel. Her staff is friendly, thorough, and customer service oriented as well. Throughout the process, Attorney Jackson explained the process and what I might expect under the law; in addition to my options and potential outcomes. I would recommend anyone seeking legal advice to schedule a consultation with Attorney Jackson RIGHT AWAY!

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.
