Dismissed

Joel gave me advice and told me what I needed to do prior to the court date. I sent all of the reccomnded paperwork to his office, he represented me in court & got my case dismissed. I highly recommend hiring him.

Highly recommend

I hired Joel Jackson after receiving a speeding ticket for reckless driving in Virginia, after calling a handful of lawyers in the area. One thing I really appreciated about Mr. Jackson was that he didn't try to scare me about the possible worst case scenario outcomes of the charge as many others did..., I assume trying to justify their incredibly high prices. Joel was honest and very helpful, guiding me through the recommended steps I needed to take (e.g., taking a drivers improvement course) before my court date. The outcome was that the ticket was dismissed.

Best traffic ticket lawyer in the state of V.A!!

I was traveling north on I77 in Virginia and was behind a slower vehicle in the right lane got over in the left lane to pass and before I could get pass the vehicle and get back in the right lane to a normal speed I was clocked at 80 in a 65. Got home and checked for lawyer's on the net in Virginia, ...Joel Jackson name came up. I read the reviews and was impressed. Called Mr Jackson office and left a message for him to call me back and he did so within an hour, we discussed my case and I agreed to his fee ( a reasonable one at that) . The only thing I had to do was get him my drivers record for the passed 5 years, he went to court on my behalf and the case was settled with just a Defective Equipment. Both Mr Jackson and his staff were very pleasant and courteous to talk to. Highly recommend Mr Jackson if you ever need a attorney.

Satisfied

I had two reckless tickets in Virginia and needed to be at court for each tickets. My result could possibly losing my driving points or even more. Joel was able to represent me at both court dates and was able to make my cases as minor as possible. Highly recommended for his services

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!!!

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.
