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 minut...es. 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 a...s 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.

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 R...esources 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.

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.
