How come this lawyer is serving as a pro-bono attorney when she has 31years of experience

This attorney is serving as Pro-bono for a family custody case with 31years of experience in practice. Is this legal?

Changed my life for the good

Attorney Jackson is an amazing lawyer and is great at what she does, The amount of confidence she has is on another level. She follows through on all requests. She thoroughly prepares you on your case and makes you feel confident as well. When it came to court she knew how to stand in her square, I d...id a lot of legal research and I am glad I chose her to represent me. Please go with her as she is really in the interest of her clients and not just to take your money as an account. Thanks Attorney Jackson!!!

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.

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.
