Would recommend hiring him for a sex crime or if you are a VT student in general.

Joel got me off rape charges and had my case dismissed without taking any plea agreement or without any repercussions. If you are a VT student he knows the student conduct system very well. If you are his client, he will fight HARD for you. Joel turned a good rape case against me into an easy acq...uittal.

Great Lawyer = Great Outcome

I was pulled over in Wythe County VA for speeding. Doing 97 in a 70 which is wreckless driving. Officer was nice and wrote it for 90/70 still wreckless driving though, I was going to have to appear in court, and was wreckless driving and 6 points on my license. I researched several lawyers in the ne...arby areas and chose Joel, and I am happy I did! I called and spoke to him directly and he was very helpful, he advised me to hire him and produce the documents that he requested. I produced the everything to the T that he requested from me and mailed it to him. He appeared in court on my behalf and got the charge reduced to a Defective Equipment which is a non moving violation and no points on my license!!!

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!

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!

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.
