Fantastic Lawyer

Helped me with a reckless driving charge. He got the charge reduced to 3 demerit points and a minimal fine. His staff were fast and courteous. The entire system was very easy to understand. Thank you for all your help!

A Great Lawyer!

Driving home from visiting my grand babies, I got pulled over for speeding. I'm from out of state, and needed an attorney to represent me and hopefully help keep me from getting points against my license. Joel communicated promptly, kept me in the loop through out the whole thing and even got my case... dismissed! I highly recommend him.

Professional and courteous

We hired Joe Jackson to handle a speeding ticket for us. We live in NC and got a speeding ticket in VA. He was courteous and professional and answered all of our questions. We were able to get everything worked out long distance without having to drive back to Virginia to meet with him or go to co...urt. Also, he was able to get the ticket reduced to a nonmoving violation which is great!

Reckless Driving

Mr. Jackson represented my son very well, we were extremely pleased with the outcome of the case and I would highly recommend him. He responded very fast and his staff was amazing! Thank you all for everything!

Joel is a great lawyer.

Joel was extremely helpful with every aspect of the cases I hired him to represent me in. His office always answered all of my questions promptly and all of concerns were met with professionalism and curtesy. He was extremely flexible with allowing me to make payments for his services and I would ...definitely recommend him to anyone needing legal representation.

Avvo Rating

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.
