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.

Best Referral Ever...

Upon my first referral consultation with Attorney Lawson-Jackson for domestic violence allegations, I was certain that she was the most suitable attorney for me. Attorney Lawson-Jackson was very professional, thorough, sensitive to my legal needs, and straight-forward with all aspects of her Attorne...y Fee Contract. Her office always kept me abreast of my case throughout the entire process and returned my calls in a timely manner! Attorney Lawson-Jackson's legal expertise provided me with a favorable outcome resulting in dismissal of allegations; and I would surely hire her again, as well as refer her to others.

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.
