Great Assistance

Mr. Jackson helped me coordinate a good defense strategy and avoid severe charges for a petty offense. Paid the deposit and he handled everything with the prosecutor.

Work accident

If you get a speeding ticket or get into trouble with the law I would highly recommend Joel Jackson as an attorney. I got 2 tickets in one day heading to work. I was very pleased with the outcome of what happened in court. It was more than I expected.

incompetent, rude and did not do his job

After hiring him for a sum of 700$ for his legal representation I was displeased to find out on my court date that he was not aware of any of the things I had personally discussed with him and his assistant. In the end I received the same penalty as all the other people charged with the same crime BU...T WITHOUT representation. Moreover he refused to answer my emails and provided no explanation or apology for the bad job he did. I had to call his office multiple times and send many emails only to receive a short email answer which provided no answers. AVOID this lawyer.

Dear Sir or Madam: Please feel free to call the office to discuss your case. I am not sure if I represented you because you have not disclosed your identity, but I would be more than happy to discuss your case and the outcome with you. If I can be of any assistance, please let me know. $700 is an unusual amount for a quote for a flat fee, and after review of my records, I do not see that I represented any person by quoting that amount. However, if you feel that you have been wronged in some way, it is my desire to make sure that you are satisfied. The office number is 540-961-5297. Please call at your convenience. Sincerely, Joel Jackson

He did such a great job. The first time my hearing was set the person before me was going 1 mile more than me and was fined $1900. He decided to push my court date so he could have a more favorable outcome. He got my reckless driving of 98 to to an impromper driving and i was able to keep my license....

Fantastic affordable service & great results.

Driving thru Virginia I got in trouble with sheriff manning a speed trap on I 77. In was shocked to see what I was accused of could result in a criminal conviction. By incident I connected with Joel Jackson's office. Joel explained issues involved & how he would represent me in court proceedings a...s well as possible outcomes. I must say that I am very happy with what Joel was able to achieve for me. The cost was very reasonable with flexible payment options and good representation Joel promised was over delivered. Thank you very much Joel for your service and your staff for courtesy & help. Thanks to Joel I can keep on visiting your beautiful country without worries about being admitted. Recommend highly to anyone in need.

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.
