Best Lawyer to handle traffic ticket.

My experience with Joel is very smooth. He talked me on very first day and ensure me what he can do. He is confident and clearly explain what document I need to collect to get favorable outcome. His office staff also very helpful, Emily always help me to understand any matter. I would highly recommen...d Joel to anyone. If you want expert to take care your legal matter and have peace of mind then Joel is the right person to hire.

Great Experience, Awesome Outcome

Joel did a wonderful job with my situation and I am most pleased with the outcome. Upon hearing the circumstances of my situation, he laid out my options and the pros/and cons of each, even explaining the benefits of simply paying the fine without his services, proving his advice is objective and in... your best interest. I had a clean driving record prior to receiving a moving violation and he was able to plead my case and reduce its overall financial impact.

Spent some money to save some MORE money

I caught a speeding ticket on the interstate in Wythe County while traveling from Pennsylvania to South Carolina. Realizing the value of my "safe driver" auto insurance rate, I retained Joel Jackson to see if he could somehow get the charge reduced to a "non-moving" violation of some sort. He made no... promises, but when the trial date arrived, he was successful. I still had to pay a hefty fine to the county court for my "transgressions", but was able to keep a clean driving record. For me, it well worth Mr Jackson's reasonable fee, A shout out to his sidekick, Emily, for keeping me well informed throughout the process.

Professional with great outcome

I was charged reckless driving with speed 85/65 on I-81 from Christianburg to Roanoke, VA. I hired Mr. Jackson for my attorney. He is very professional. He gave me three instructions: 1, speedometer calibration 2, 8-hour driving class 3, 5-year driving record. I followed these instructions. My spee...dometer calibration test results are that when the dashboard reads 70 mph, the actual speed is 74 mph. My driving record is clean. Based on the material I provided, Mr. Jackson were confident that he can reduce reckless driving to normal speeding or better. As a result, he got the charge dismissed. I am satisfied with the great outcome. Thank you, Mr. Jackson!

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.
