Mr. Jackson knows his STUFF!

I spoke with Steve on numerous occasions concerning a legal issue. He was able to collect my fragmented, loosely connected dates and facts, then strategize with me on a winning game plan. I had a loose idea of what information I needed to present, but Steve helped me make it a powerful, cohesive ...narrative to present. He showed me which facts needed spotlighting and which were peripheral and supportive, at best. God forbid you have to deal with the mess I had to but, if you do, you'd do well to choose Mr. Jackson. I was extremely glad Steve was there to walk me through the dark maze of legalese, explain the details in a way I could understand and connect with, then help me prepare a sound plan. I'm tellin' you. You'd do well to go with Steve. Unless you like rolling the dice on your own that is...

Review of Steven Andrew Jackson

Steven is very knowledgable and compassionate about what he does. He has assisted both my parents and myself. He has always been responsive to our questions and needs. He takes time to listen and helps you decide what is the best option for your situation. I would highly recommend Steven for work wit...h planning estates and trusts and setting up power of attorneys.

Rely on Steve

It's a rare thing to find an attorney who is down-to-earth AND competent; however, I believe Steve is just that. I have met with him several times and feel like he 'gets it' when it comes to personal planning. Not only does he have a great assistant in Anna, he has an open-door feel to his practice.... He listens very well and understands then what you need even though you may not. He tells you the truth and then helps you decide what is best for you. I am thankful I found him. You can feel at ease talking with him about ALL your fears in estate planning. He seems to have a sixth sense about what your life is about and then applies those aspects into a well-written plan.
