Mr. Sharp

I used the website to reach out for a consultation...it was after 6pm when I entered my information. Within 1 hour an associate of Mr. Jackson office contacted me (Sean)...this was around 7pm but I was unable to speak at the time so we agreed to speak the next day. However around 8pm I sent a text ...to the number and asked if he was still available and I got a yes Immediately. I Called back the gentlemen's name was Sean....after listening to the details of my case...he immediately googled my case in court records and was able to give me valuable information to assist me. From about 8pm to 10pm we discussed my case....at the end it was determined that I did not need representation at this time. Not only was Sean a professional but was understanding was available after hours. On top of every thing there was no fee for the advice and lengthy call. The world needs more professionals that don't just do a job but truly cares about the people he is helping. Sean is a tremendous asset to Mr. Jackson's team and when the time comes that I do need an attorney for this case you can bet that the Office of Joel Jackson will get my business. Sean truly has my respect and admiration for doing such an awesome job!!!! 5 Stars is not enough to give this rating.....10 STARS are deserved.

Above & Beyond

Had a situation arise where another lawyer in the Blacksburg, VA area did NOT handle my case as I had originally hired them to do. My license got suspended and had ZERO communication with this other lawyer. At my rope's end, I reached out to Mr. Jackson's office and within 48 hours the case was han...dled and closed. Hope I never have to hire another lawyer in Blacksburg, VA again ... but if I do ... I have Mr. Jackson's office saved in my contacts ... as should you!

Big Help

Mr. Jackson was able to help me out when I felt as though I wasn't getting proper treatment. Mr. Jackson was also able to coach me through my speaking roles during my hearing and I am so relieved to have him at my service.

I can truly say that Mr. Jackson exceeded my expectations. I was, and still am in complete awe of the outcome of my case. Being that I am a Truck Driver, I wish that he was available nationwide. I will never ever forget that this firm fought for me & won. I am forever grateful!

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.

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.
