Excellence

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

Excellent experience

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...

Good Criminal Defense Attorney in Blacksburg, VA

Highly recommend Joel and his team. Very capable, got my issue resolved expediently, and there to answer questions and ease concerns throughout the entire process. I interacted with a couple different members of the team, all of whom were knowledgeable and helpful.

An Awesome Lawyer with immense experience!

An Awesome Lawyer with immense experience! I got a Reckless driving in I-81 on last August while I was heading for vacation with my family. The office gave me a summon of Montegomery, VA district court. I live in Reston, VA and the district court is Monegomery, VA which almost 4 hours drive from Res...ton. After some research on internet, I called Joel's office. Joel's associate Sean received the call and helped me to understand the importance and consequence of the case and finally he arranged a call back with Joel for discussing about the case. Joel was so nice, confident and trust worthy that I decided to hire Joel to represent me in the district court for defending my case. He even assured me not to drive down to the court date and he will handle everything in my absence. He assisted me on every corner of the case to gather evidence in support of my case. His fees is also much less than any other lawyer. And Finally in the court date my Reckless driving case was reduced to an amended non-moving violation charge of Defective Equipment. This is a 0 demerit point violation on my license. Kudos to the complete Joel's Team for wonderful support and showing trustworthiness. I highly recommend Joel's name! Thank you Joel for all your help! Thanks, Abhishek

Better Call Joel

If you've got an infraction, call Dr. Jackson! If you find yourself in legal trouble in the Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford Metropolitan Statistical Area, there is only one man that you need to call- Dr. Joel Stephen Jackson. When I found myself in legal trouble for the first time in my life back... during April of 2015, I consulted with just about every criminal law-practicing attorney in the Town of Blacksburg- Dr. Jackson was the only one who told me both what I wanted to hear, in addition to what I needed to hear. He did charge me the highest rate out of all of them, but let me be the first to tell you that you get what you pay for. Through his legal counsel, my interim suspension was lifted, and I received the best possible outcomes at both my student conduct hearing and trial. Dr. Jackson is truly a renaissance man of attorneys. He does it all!
