I am a North Carolina native. I grew up and went to high school in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. I am the first attorney in my family. My father works in the timber industry and my mother is a retired school teacher. I first moved to Raleigh to attend North Carolina State University. Thereafter, I left NC to attend law school in the state of Georgia. Immediately upon graduation, I returned to North Carolina. I currently live in downtown Raleigh with my wife and young son. Our family believes it is important to be deeply rooted in the heart of our community. We are members of First Presbyterian Church in downtown Raleigh which is where our child attends preschool.
When not focusing time serving my clients, I enjoy spending time in the outdoors with my family. I am also an avid supporter of NC State Wolfpack athletics.
I am a member of many professional assocations focused on helping others through the practice of law. I am also regularly involved with providing pro bono legal services to clients of The Healing Place of Wake County, a non-profit entity helping homeless Wake County residents dealing with addiction.

Exceptional Attorney/ Best DUI Defense in Raleigh

In NC, the DMV can take your license for a year for refusal of the breathalyzer. Jayme was always available to discuss my case, every detail and every potent...

Excellent Lawyer
Mr. Jackson represented me in a DUI case. Upon the initial appointment with him, he thought we had an excellent case, as I was pulled over unjustified. He tried my case litigating over an hour, and definitely made great points, as well as making the officers look really dumb. (As they were). He...

I Highly Recommend James Jackson for DUI cases.
I called Jayme after being charged with a DWI. He was extremely knowledgeable about North Carolina's laws. He took ample time to look over my case and to get all the facts before we went to trial. He was very helpful in giving me advice and to prepare myself for whatever the outcome may have been....

Excellent attorney with excellent results.
I had two DWI's and was on the verge of losing my license for a substantial period of time. I was convicted of one but was found "not guilty" of the other. I owe this guy my livelihood as I would have certainly lost my job had I been convicted of both charges. He was honest and fair and extremely ...

Professional and Responsive
I contacted Jayme after being charged with a DWI in Raleigh. Other than a couple of speeding tickets, I had never been in any kind of trouble. Needless to say, I was extremely worried about the situation. Jayme spent time telling me everything that was going to happen, assured me that we would wor...
