Absolute Satisfaction

Attorney Joel Jackson recently handled a traffic case for me in Wythe County Virginia. Being from another state, I had concerns when contacting legal assistance that I had no previous exposure to or knowledge of other than online reviews. I talked with several of Mr. Jackson's office personnel prior ...to and after retaining his service to represent me in District Court. Each and every contact was handled most professionally with genuine courtesy. I was informed of each step Mr. Jackson would take on my behalf and explained what options I had available. While no promises were made regarding the outcome, in the end it was the best I could have asked for in my particular case. I could not be more pleased with the entire experience. I highly recommend Joel Jackson's office if you find yourself in need of legal assistance in the western part of Virginia.

Easy to work with!

I found Joel Jackson Online. Had a Reckless Driving ticket in VA. I disagreed with it. He gave me clear information on how much his service was, and what I needed to to do retrieve information. They always answered the phone, and quickly responded to me emails and questions. I hired him a bit late in... the process and he dealt with the Court and changed the date, and also stood in place for me in court. The same day (of my court date) they sent me an email with my outcome and gave me the information to wrap everything up. Very professional and personal, and they didn't change me an arm and a leg. Just an arm!

Great job and relief

My lawyer, Sean McDonnell, was extremely professional and carefully explained all of my options. Having a ticket for 81/65 and living nearly 800 miles away would have resulted in an impossible sequence of logistics. Sean took all of these issues away and reduced my charge to a non-moving violation ...with zero demerit points. Highly recommended!

Best outcome we could have expected

Our daughter received a speeding ticket driving from NJ to TN which required a court appearance. Not knowing anyone in VA to help us, and knowing she could not attend the court hearing herself we turned to Joel Jackson for assistance. From the first phone call we were treated courteously with the c...ourt process being explained thoroughly. Phone calls and emails were answered promptly and professionally. The outcome was a fine, but it was less than it would have been without Joel Jackson's assistance. Would highly recommend.

Highly recommend!!

I am an international research scholar and a new driver also. It was the about the tenth month after having my driver licence when the accident occurred. Friends of mine recommended me to contact Joel immediately for the best outcome. Joel provided me very professional help with warm consideration. ...During discussion of my case in his office, he even used APP to make translation which helped me a lot for the better understanding. Undoubtedly, everything went smoothly and I had the satisfactory result, leaving my driving record clean. I really appreciate all the help of him and his staffs.

  • 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.
