Got Through My Case Smoothly Thanks to This Attorney!

I was really impressed with this attorney! She has a sharp understanding of the legal maze and guides you through it without making things overly complicated. She is professional and also personable, which made a world of difference during some tough times. I felt supported and I would definitely sug...gest them to friends who need someone solid in their corner.

Professional, Experienced, & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I am not the person who will generally write a review, however, Attorney Jackson is definitely an exception. I read on AVVO that she had 10 years experience in divorce and custody cases and decided to hire her for my case. Throughout my case Attorney Jackson was professional and very knowledgeable ...about the law in regards to divorce cases. She was a very acute listener and took the time needed to prepare for my case. She continously explained to me all of my legal options throughout the process and helped to keep me grounded in my decision making. Going into this ordeal, I knew that by me being a man didn't make any easier for me in seeking custody of my daughter. In the end, even as a father, I was granted full primary custody of my 5yr old daughter and a second chance at life. I am forever grateful for her knowledge, counsel, and service. She has integrity and persistence that is unmatched. She fights hard for her clients and is very sharp and focused in the courtroom. Her service is worth every penny and she is definitely "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED". In the court of law, you definitely want Attorney Jackson on your side.

Experience

Mrs. Jackson was attentive to my situation and helped me throughout the whole process. After my divorce she reaches out to me periodically to see how I’m doing. I’m thankful and grateful for everything she has done for me

The Best Family Lawyer In The State of GA!!

So, decided to take the time to drop a little something here. My daughter's father sued me in a child custody case and I was on my way to meet up with a lawyer...When I couldn't find that lawyer I turned into a parking lot and came upon Sharon Jackson LLC. I just went inside even though I was already... late to ask if she was a family lawyer...and she said yes she took my paperwork started looking it over...making copies jumped in asking me all kinds of questions listening to what I had to say as opposed to what other lawyers were doing. They weren't listening to me they were just saying "yeah I'll take your case…this is what you need to pay me". But she did not do that...she truly listened to what I had to say and after a year-and-a-half, my daughter's father was dragging the case out non-stop but we hung in there...and she fought for me and I have to say...I came out on top. I got way more than what I was even thinking I deserved or was asking for...she went above and beyond for me and my daughter. She was 9 years old and I feel Victorious and vindicated all at the same time. I came out on top feeling stronger with a voice that I didn't have before. My daughter's father would just do whatever he wanted to, give me whatever you wanted to, and pick her up whenever he chose to. But now everything is in black and white and I'm on top. So, I wanted to say thank you, a big thank you to Sharon Jackson and her staff for everything that they have done for me and my daughter. Five stars all the way!!!! There were some rough patches. I felt weak in the process because I was fighting this by myself...other than my lawyer and her staff...I have no family here in GA.. A few friends and I didn't really burden a lot of people with what was going on in my life...so I was kind of alone. My niece was my rock throughout this process even though she lives in Florida... but I thank God for her. But EVERYTHING turned out really wonderful...I'm extremely happy with the result...and again that's all thanks to Sharon Jackson and her staff. Because of her...2018 Thanksgiving was amazing...Christmas and the New Year were amazing also!!!! Fast forward to 2025 my ex is in contempt of court, and once again, who do I turn to, Sharon Jackson and her staff. There wouldn't be ANYONE ELSE BUT HER! So, if you're looking for a great attorney to represent you and take your case please look no further, Sharon Jackson is your first call...trust me, you won't regret it!! P.S. THANK YOU, MRS. JACKSON, AND YOUR AMAZING STAFF!!!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer! I have had several cases with Mrs. Jackson as the opposing party. Some we resolved through mediation and some went to trial. In either event, I found Mrs. Jackson to work zealously for her clients but to also seek the best interest of her client and not to litigate unnecessarily."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Ms. Jackson was opposing counsel on a divorce action. Not only was she very responsive and tenacious for her client, after the case was closed Ms. Jackson took the time to explain to me how to complete a very complex financial document that is required in many divorce cases. This kindness and patience, combined with professionalism and assertiveness for her client, is very rare to find in attorneys. Ms. Jackson truly made a lasting impression and comes highly recommended."

DUI and DWI lawyer | May 15

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Attorney Jackson has impressed me greatly. I first met her in the Atlanta region where she was taking voluntary continuing legal education in the Standardized Field Sobriety tests otherwise known as the roadside DUI tests. It is a tough course. The same one that police officers take. During the 24 hour course, we chatted a lot. I was impressed with her dedication to her craft in the sense of that she not only wants to be the best at what she does, but prides herself on being as near perfect as possible. She uses her reputation, knowledge and experience to minimize or eliminate the potential adverse consequences that an citizen among us who is accused of a crime may face."
