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.

Professional and Compassionate

Joel Jackson and his office helped me from the beginning to end. I was so worried and nervous after receiving the ticket since I never have had this issue before. His entire office was professional, compassionate and kind with all of my emails, questions and communications. It is my pleasure to ...write this review for the office of Joel Jackson because when I was researching how to handle my case and deciding which lawyer to contact, it was their website and the reviews that helped me make the decision. Joel Jackson exceeded my expectations and my case had the best outcome because he believed in my case and me. I am very thankful.

Highly recommend!!

I am an international research scholar and a new driver also. It was the about the tenth month after having my driver licence when the accident occurred. Friends of mine recommended me to contact Joel immediately for the best outcome. Joel provided me very professional help with warm consideration. ...During discussion of my case in his office, he even used APP to make translation which helped me a lot for the better understanding. Undoubtedly, everything went smoothly and I had the satisfactory result, leaving my driving record clean. I really appreciate all the help of him and his staffs.

  • 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.
