Senior Facilities Technician

Franklin and his team went above and beyond my expectations. Their expertise, fair fees, and most of all compassion helped me through this experience. I felt I was with family not just a legal team. I highly recommend Franklin as an attorney and wish he was in my state for other legal matters.

Knows what he's doing, honest communication, fair price

I live in another state and was on vacation driving through NC when I was stopped and given a ticket that I thought was unfair. It was impossible for me to go to Halifax County court as needed to argue it, so I looked online for an attorney to represent me and handle the situation. On the phone other... prospective attorneys seemed to be recommending a somewhat-blind shotgun approach, whereas Mr Jones knew the court and its players, was knowledgeable about the SPECIFICS that he expected for my path ahead, and offered an honest, honorable, precise plan of what to do and why it was preferable. He spoke frankly, and I felt his pricing was reasonable, so I chose Mr Jones. He handled everything for me, and the whole process went just as he said it likely would (and his assistant Tekla was very helpful too). I would highly recommend his services.

Awesome, quick, very nice, very reasonable

I don’t usually open lawyer letters but for some reason I did. I called the office and spoke with the paralegal. Very nice and polite. The cost was very reasonable for what my ticket was. I didn’t have to go back to NC for the court date. Got a call from the other paralegal and she was very nice as w...ell. Both ladies were very knowledgeable. Thanks for taking care of the ticket for me

Responsive, ethical and effective. I worked with Sara who kept me informed about my case. I spoke with other law offices who were clearly just after a high fee but Attorney Jones was beyond fair.

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.

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.
