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.
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 handled 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 reasonable fee to represent me in court - saved me money in added insurance charges in the years to come.

Title IX Case at Virginia Tech
Mr. Jackson provided excellent legal assistance to our Title IX case. He answered all of our questions and provided further explanation and examples when we didn't fully understand. He and his office were very flexible in our communications, using both phone and email. He was well versed in Title IX procedures with the school, and he provided excellent guidance and support during the Student Conduct hearing. He was upfront with his comments and provided constructive feedback during our first meeting.
He and his office also assisted with an outline used in the hearing. We would recommend Mr. Jackson if you need legal assistance and guidance above what is not offered by Virginia Tech. We are very pleased with his service and the outcome of the hearing.

He did such a great job. The first time my hearing was set the person before me was going 1 mile more than me and was fined $1900. He decided to push my court date so he could have a more favorable outcome. He got my reckless driving of 98 to to an impromper driving and i was able to keep my license.

Big Help
Mr. Jackson was able to help me out when I felt as though I wasn't getting proper treatment. Mr. Jackson was also able to coach me through my speaking roles during my hearing and I am so relieved to have him at my service.

Very Professional
I live in Maryland but drive route I-81 frequently on business. I received a ticket for speeding on I-81 in Virginia which required an in-person court appearance. I contacted Mr. Jackson's office by leaving a message online, and received a telephone response from one of his assistants within 15 minutes. Everyone on Mr. Jackson's staff was exceedingly helpful in advising me of my rights and responsibilities, and walking me through the process over the ten weeks that followed. They answered every question promptly and thoroughly. The outcome was a dismissal of the charge based on my past clean record, on the condition that I attend a one-day driver improvement course. I am grateful for such excellent representation.

Fantastic affordable service & great results.
Driving thru Virginia I got in trouble with sheriff manning a speed trap on I 77.
In was shocked to see what I was accused of could result in a criminal conviction.
By incident I connected with Joel Jackson's office. Joel explained issues involved & how he would represent me in court proceedings as well as possible outcomes.
I must say that I am very happy with what Joel was able to achieve for me. The cost was very reasonable with flexible payment options and good representation Joel promised was over delivered.
Thank you very much Joel for your service and your staff for courtesy & help.
Thanks to Joel I can keep on visiting your beautiful country without worries about being admitted.
Recommend highly to anyone in need.

I can truly say that Mr. Jackson exceeded my expectations. I was, and still am in complete awe of the outcome of my case. Being that I am a Truck Driver, I wish that he was available nationwide. I will never ever forget that this firm fought for me & won. I am forever grateful!

Delivered on what they promised
My stepson had lost track of the speed limit and wound up going fast enough for reckless driving in Pearisburg while driving back to college several hours from us. He has a learning disability and needed every bit of time in class rather than a day at his trial. I gave Joel Jackson a try as a Legal Resources affiliate who seemed to have a good reputation in the Blacksburg area. Rachel, Emily and Sean certainly lived up to it. They were very informative in offering consultation, indicated what they could do in arranging a reduction of offense with the court and got a result that was even a little better than that. The fellow running my son's driver improvement class even told us we chose well and spoke highly of the firm. I have every reason to agree with him.

Made the process so simple...
My daughter is a student at NC State and received a speeding ticket in February. I found Mr. Jackson online and he made the entire process extremely simple and communicated with me as the case progressed. I would definitely recommend Mr. Jackson for your legal needs.

Professional and Compassionate
Joel Jackson and his office helped me from the beginning to end. I was so worried and nervous after receiving the ticket since I never have had this issue before. His entire office was professional, compassionate and kind with all of my emails, questions and communications.
It is my pleasure to write this review for the office of Joel Jackson because when I was researching how to handle my case and deciding which lawyer to contact, it was their website and the reviews that helped me make the decision.
Joel Jackson exceeded my expectations and my case had the best outcome because he believed in my case and me. I am very thankful.

Excellent VA Lawyer
Unfortunately I was speeding on my way home from Alabama while attending the Barber Motorsports Vintage Motorcycle weekend. Due to hurricane Nate, the event closed early for safety reasons. We were riding our motorcycles home and trying to stay ahead of the storm, which was moving very fast for a hurricane. My hope was to at least make it to Harrisonburg, VA where my daughter attends James Madison University. That didn't happen as I was stopped while going 83mph in the right lane on interstate 81 in southern VA (70mph zone). That's reckless driving in VA! Amazingly the trucks were doing 75mph and if you ever rode a motorcycle at night, it is not fun being passed by an 18 Wheeler. More so is the danger that the truck driver may not see you. Therefore I tried to stay a little ahead of the trucks since I can control what is in front of me but not what's behind me. I looked up attorneys online and chose Joel Jackson. Best choice I ever made. He advised me to take a driver safety course and also obtain my 10 year driving history, which was fortunately favorable. I did that and also provided additional history of myself to Joel including what I mentioned above. He was able to explain my situation in court and achieved a very successful outcome for me. I highly recommend him. Note that after I contacted his office and agreed to be represented by his firm (in his absence) he contacted me personally to discuss the case. They are a very professional group and quickly responded to any questions or concerns that I had. I highly recommend Joel and his team!
