Terrific work

I contacted Joel out of state for a traffic violation in VA, he was helpful and informative with my options ! And most importantly he provided me with a positive outcome. Love his services will use again .

Would recommend hiring him for a sex crime or if you are a VT student in general.

Joel got me off rape charges and had my case dismissed without taking any plea agreement or without any repercussions. If you are a VT student he knows the student conduct system very well. If you are his client, he will fight HARD for you. Joel turned a good rape case against me into an easy acq...uittal.

Reckless Driving; Case Dismissed

I live in New Jersey and got a reckless driving ticket in Virginia for doing 83 on a 70mph open road. The day before my court date I looked into the penalties for this kind of ticket, and was strongly advised to hire an attorney, as Virginia traffic penalties are extremely dire. It was the 11th ...hour and no one was able to take my case, so I was ready to make the drive from New Jersey to Virginia for my appearance the following morning. Finally, I came across Joel Jackson’s office on google. He was able to get my court date pushed back just before the court closed. This gave me enough time (several months) to take a defensive driving course and get my driving record from the dmv as he advised me to do. My postponed court date arrived, and I received an email saying the case had been dismissed. I am so grateful for him and his efficiency. Not to mention; he comes at a very reasonable price. His office is very professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Professional all the way!

When I first contacted Mr. Jackson he told me his goal was to get my case dismissed. I know these things are never guaranteed and he told me that this isn’t a sure thing but that was his goal. I’m happy to write that Mr.Jackson did get my case dismissed. This shows that he takes your case and his job... very seriously. I appreciate your help and highly recommend Joel Jackson.

Speeding fine

I am based in Canada. Joel did an excellent job in helping me reduce a reckless driving penalty to a non driving violation I received in Wythe County. He responded to my messages promptly and is supported by an excellent team.

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.
