Joel Stephen Jackson

I recently hired Mr. Jackson to help me with a case I had involving driving suspended and speeding. The last couple of years I have had some bad luck and accumulated a nasty driving record. With this being said I wasn't very confident I would have a favorable outcome in my above case. Mr. Jackson wor...ked hard for me and was very persistent in obtaining a fair outcome in my case. When it was over he had successfully gotten all charges reduced to low level fines with no points toward my dmv record. I'm extremely pleased with the work Mr. Jackson did for me and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for these types of services.

I had been stopped late on a Sunday night around Marion on my way back home from being in Pennsylvania for the weekend. I didn't have cruise control, and being on the road for so long, and given the fact that there was really no other cars on the road at the time, I had a momentary lapse in judgment ...and awareness, and I was caught speeding during the stretch I was stopped. When the officer told me he had me at 94 in a 70, I was shocked. I knew I was speeding, but I truly didn't realize I had been going that fast. Regardless, I was very respectful and cooperative with the officer during the stop. Joel Jackson's office ironically had been the second contact choice I made to find myself an attorney, though I attest now that it should have been the first. Even though I had a clean driving record (no tickets) prior to this reckless driving charge, I was very worried that I would be found guilty and have that Class 1 Misdemeanor conviction stuck on my record and potentially have my license suspended, which I needed for commuting to work! I had also been told by the lawyer I had contacted before I contacted Joel's office that Smyth County is one of the tougher districts when it comes to traffic citations. But Joel's office told me the actions I would need to take to help my case, which I did before my hearing. One of those several actions was getting a speedometer calibration by radar gun, which showed my speedometer was off by 3 mph. This definitely helped my case. But thankfully with Joel's excellent advice and representation, and a benign judge, and lots of prayers to the good Lord above, the judge bumped it down to only 80 in a 70 and only an infraction, rather than Reckless Driving, a Class 1 Misdemeanor. The judge had said keep in mind that this kind of ruling happens only once every 15 years. I had to pay a $250 fine in addition to the clerk fee, which was about $69, so a total of $319. The legal fee for Joel's services is absolutely worth it. So if you or someone you know needs legal representation for a traffic citation, I'm telling you - call the Law Office of Joel Jackson and hire Joel to represent you. You won't have a better shot at getting a desirable outcome for your case than hiring this guy.

Joel and his team are excellent. I worked primarily with Sean and he is a true professional, very pleasant to work with and convaded everything perfectly. They completely obtained the best out come for me but then I procrastinated a little to long and found myself in a jam. They actually even went ba...ck to my defense, which was extra work for them but did not charge another penny. Very impressive and I strongly recommend their services. Thank Sean and Joel

We hired Joel Jackson for a reckless driving charge and found the experience with him and his staff to be very efficient and professional. From the first phone calls fielded by the friendly office assistant, to the day of the court hearing, everything went smoothly and we were happy with the negotiat...ions that Mr. Jackson made on our behalf. The reasonable cost of his services greatly reduced the potential fees and points associated with our case. Highly recommend...
