Thank you !

A few months ago I was driving from Pennsylvania to Tennessee to visit my sister and family. Looking forward to seeing everyone, I didn't realize I was exceeding the speed limit on Route 81. I was pulled over and was summons to go to court for reckless driving. I was devastated. I am a government... employee and I could not have this reckless driving charge on my record. I do admit that I was speeding but didn't feel that I was being reckless. Nevertheless, I contacted several attorneys and after speaking with Attorney Jackson, I knew he was the one that could help me. After providing him with my clean drivers record, he was able to have the reckless driving charge lowered to improper driving. Thank you Attorney Jackson !!!!

Outstanding

Big thanks to the Law Office of Joel Jackson! This Office's oversight of my case has produced ideal results: the dismissal of underage alcohol charges (pending expungement); and more impressively, the overturn of a noncompliance charge acquired via improper arrest, false-positive urine screen, et...c. Drawing from seemingly endless supply of time and resource, Mr. Jackson and his Legal Assistant, SM, have demonstrated exceptional professionalism and results-oriented work ethic. On one hand, Mr. Jackson is a master tactician, legal analyst, and researcher; on the other hand, SM is an outstanding manager, communicator, and researcher. These folks are a godsend for the Blacksburg-Radford region, and it has been a privilege to work with them.

Reckless Driving Charge: Significantly Reduced.

It was a pleasure to work with Joel and his staff (e.g., Sean) in reference to a recent traffic violation. Both of these individuals are kind, responsive, thorough, and will work with you in a manner in which you’ll feel comfortable and put at ease regarding pending charge(s). I highly recommend the ...Law Office of Joel Jackson. If my family and I encounter future legal-related issues, I will most definitely use Joel as my attorney once again!

Child Custody Matter Resolved

Mr. Jackson represented me in some complicated custody issues. I do not think the issues would have been resolved without his help. He was in my corner to fight for me when I needed it. I would strongly recommend his services if you are in need of legal assistance.

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.
