Great Assistance

Mr. Jackson helped me coordinate a good defense strategy and avoid severe charges for a petty offense. Paid the deposit and he handled everything with the prosecutor.

Work accident

If you get a speeding ticket or get into trouble with the law I would highly recommend Joel Jackson as an attorney. I got 2 tickets in one day heading to work. I was very pleased with the outcome of what happened in court. It was more than I expected.

Mr. Sharp

I used the website to reach out for a consultation...it was after 6pm when I entered my information. Within 1 hour an associate of Mr. Jackson office contacted me (Sean)...this was around 7pm but I was unable to speak at the time so we agreed to speak the next day. However around 8pm I sent a text ...to the number and asked if he was still available and I got a yes Immediately. I Called back the gentlemen's name was Sean....after listening to the details of my case...he immediately googled my case in court records and was able to give me valuable information to assist me. From about 8pm to 10pm we discussed my case....at the end it was determined that I did not need representation at this time. Not only was Sean a professional but was understanding was available after hours. On top of every thing there was no fee for the advice and lengthy call. The world needs more professionals that don't just do a job but truly cares about the people he is helping. Sean is a tremendous asset to Mr. Jackson's team and when the time comes that I do need an attorney for this case you can bet that the Office of Joel Jackson will get my business. Sean truly has my respect and admiration for doing such an awesome job!!!! 5 Stars is not enough to give this rating.....10 STARS are deserved.

Above & Beyond

Had a situation arise where another lawyer in the Blacksburg, VA area did NOT handle my case as I had originally hired them to do. My license got suspended and had ZERO communication with this other lawyer. At my rope's end, I reached out to Mr. Jackson's office and within 48 hours the case was han...dled and closed. Hope I never have to hire another lawyer in Blacksburg, VA again ... but if I do ... I have Mr. Jackson's office saved in my contacts ... as should you!

Speeding ticket driving down I-77

I was driving down I-77 thru VA, headed to NC for the week. A sheriff pulled me over for speeding as I was coming down a large hill. I haven't had a speeding ticket in over 20 years. Joel and his staff were able to get my speeding ticket reduced to a lesser charge with no points. A very reasonabl...e fee to represent me in court - saved me money in added insurance charges in the years to come.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
