Great Work!

Joel Jackson effectively represented me in court and was able to get my speeding charge dropped to a minor violation. His staff are extremely professional, courteous and hard working for their clients. I was very satisfied by the work of this firm.

Exceptional service and integrity

After a rather unfortunate traffic stop, my options were to either plead guilty and have the incident on my permanent record or get a lawyer. I researched satisfied clients on line and all said the same thing about Joel Jackson: Great Service, honest assessment of your case and fair pricing. That's... exactly what I found and I'm glad I had Joel Jackson and his amazing office staff plead and win my case. Also and most importantly, beware of the dozens of solicitations you will get from lesser talented and more expensive firms once your case is recorded into the Virginia records. Don't hesitate. Call Joel Jackson's office first. You will get the best shot at keeping your driving record in tact with him.

Easy to work with!

I found Joel Jackson Online. Had a Reckless Driving ticket in VA. I disagreed with it. He gave me clear information on how much his service was, and what I needed to to do retrieve information. They always answered the phone, and quickly responded to me emails and questions. I hired him a bit late in... the process and he dealt with the Court and changed the date, and also stood in place for me in court. The same day (of my court date) they sent me an email with my outcome and gave me the information to wrap everything up. Very professional and personal, and they didn't change me an arm and a leg. Just an arm!

Reduce reckless driving to non-moving violation

I appreciate that you work on my case efficiently and effectively. My case has been reduced from reckless driving to non-moving violation which meets my expectations.

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.
