Reckless Driving

Mr. Jackson represented my son very well, we were extremely pleased with the outcome of the case and I would highly recommend him. He responded very fast and his staff was amazing! Thank you all for everything!

Joel is a great lawyer.

Joel was extremely helpful with every aspect of the cases I hired him to represent me in. His office always answered all of my questions promptly and all of concerns were met with professionalism and curtesy. He was extremely flexible with allowing me to make payments for his services and I would ...definitely recommend him to anyone needing legal representation.

Excellent Service

Mr. Jackson and his staff where very professional, timely, and friendly. Being from outside of the state of Virginia, Mr. Jackson was of great assistance with my legal matter. I would highly recommend him as an attorney.

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!

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.
