Out of state speeding ticket

This speeding ticket was completely taken care of by Mr. Jackson and his office. As we live out of state, thought it would be a nightmare but all was done via phone and email, and resulted in a reduced ticket with no points. Highly recommend this attorney and his staff for anyone needing assistance ...in the VA area. Thank you for a job well done!

A most favorable outcome

Being a commercial driver my CDL record is extremely important to me. After contacting Mr. Jackson, he of course could not give me any guarantees but assured me he felt very strongly he would be able to win my case. Well, everything worked out exactly as he thought it would resulting in 0 points agai...nst my CL record. Thanks again Mr. Jackson.

Best traffic ticket lawyer in the state of V.A!!

I was traveling north on I77 in Virginia and was behind a slower vehicle in the right lane got over in the left lane to pass and before I could get pass the vehicle and get back in the right lane to a normal speed I was clocked at 80 in a 65. Got home and checked for lawyer's on the net in Virginia, ...Joel Jackson name came up. I read the reviews and was impressed. Called Mr Jackson office and left a message for him to call me back and he did so within an hour, we discussed my case and I agreed to his fee ( a reasonable one at that) . The only thing I had to do was get him my drivers record for the passed 5 years, he went to court on my behalf and the case was settled with just a Defective Equipment. Both Mr Jackson and his staff were very pleasant and courteous to talk to. Highly recommend Mr Jackson if you ever need a attorney.

Saved my driving reputation

As a person that needs to drive a van full of children, Mr. Jackson was able to have a favorable outcome for me. My Reckless Driving charge was reduced to a charge of Improper Driving. This is a 3 demerit point violation, not a 6 demerit point CRIMINAL misdemeanor conviction. I am extremely happy t...hat I don't have that criminal misdemeanor!! Although, I know what I did was wrong, I am thankful Mr. Jackson was able to assist in getting it lowered. His staff was always kind, courteous, and very patient. He has an exceptional staff. Thank you very much for what you did for me!!!

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.
