Awesome Attorney

I hired Franklin Jones for a very serious matter. I didn't know what the outcome would be do to the seriousness of the accusations. He kept me up to date with my case and explained never ask questions from an accuser without your attorney, it could be very damaging to your case. At the end a miracle... is what ill say happened for me, dismissed. Franklin Jones knows his law. Thanks Franklin

Review of Franklin Jones

I hired Mr. Jones to represent my son who was cited for speeding and reckless driving in North Carolina. I contacted his office and spoke with a wonderful secretary, Tekla. She advised me of the court process and the likely outcome. Mr. Jones then contacted me the following business day. Mr. Jone...s was able to negotiate a reduced speed to 9mph over the speed limit. This was a great and fair outcome. I would highly recommend Mr. Jones if you are in need of a lawyer.

profile in encellent

over the last 40 years, I had the opportunity to engage with several of the best attorneys in the country. For the past few years Mr Jones has handled the majority of my legal matters and I must say, with great results. Mr. Jones is now repairing a driving problem that has caused me problems for y...ears His intervention in another case being mishandled by another attorney saved me from being the victim of a system designed to use my rights as an american citizen against me. Mr. Jones is an upstanding forthright, honest, dedicated, attorney I would recommend him for any criminal matters you may face..

One of the best.

If your case is important to you, then this is the man you need on it. I have had Mr Jones court appointed and hired and he handles your case to the Best of his abilities no matter how you obtain him. He has kept me from losing my license several times in criminal traffic cases. On my most recent cas...e when my court appointed attorney told me it didn't look good for me and I may lose my licence and face jail time, I contacted Mr Jones about my case and told him very few details and he knew exactly how he was going to handle it. This was no easy case by far. He is so confident in his abilities that he said that if he could not get my case dismissed he would return his fee that was very reasonable by the way, to me. Anyway very good man in my eyes, good attitude, great enthusiasm and to this day I can call him and he will still advise me on small legal questions I have I don't think you can get better. Truly a friend for life and this is the first man I will call if I run into and legal hurdles. He won't let you down if you can do everything he advises you to do about your case. His office is right across the road from the court so he has great access to files and contacts that he needs to make for you so he is right there on top of it all.

Review

My boyfriend and I retained Mr. Jones to represent me on a probation case. I was in jail in Halifax County under a 10,000 US CURRENCY/CASH ONLY BOND! My violation was not completing the remaining 13 hours I had l left on community service. My court date was 35 days from when I got arrested. Mr,Jone...s was able to get me in court 2 weeks later and the judge handled my case and I was very pleased with the outcome. I would recommend Mr.Jones to friends and family. Only issue I had was at times I felt like he could of done something to handle everything sooner than he did. But with that being said, I know that there are procedures and I can be inpatient so...
