Attorney or Rapper

Mr. Patterson received a retainer fee of 8000 dollars and did not do anything else to help my case. He also never told the truth about visiting me to go over my case. He was very unprofessional with my family. He just did not meet my expectations of the lawyer I'd known him to be. I would highly ...not recommend him. Please spend your money with someone who will earn your money.

Repeatedly was hours late to court

Jackie does not care about your case. He was repeatedly late to my case and when i contacted his law firm. He called me making veiled threats about suing me and putting me in the newspapers. He was soundly

Highly recommend

Best lawyer in GA. Mr. Patterson is about his business, very reasonable and prices are great just depends on your case and how serious it is. Highly recommended if you have a CDL and need help with getting anything off your record. This is the lawyer for you.

HOrrible

Horrible will show up late to court if he shows up at all.Will have secret meeting and discussions and information from the DA and purposely not disclose it to you until he gets you to sign plea deal. Doesn't work on cases, wont strategize, wont do legwork to get evidence or anything suppressed etc. ...He is truly a Chrysler 300 lawyer ,not Bentley. When I called him about my case he confuses it with other people and has even told me to go to the wrong city court before. Very unprepared and unprofessional. He will not fight hard for anybody unless you are a sassy clothing designer or fellow officer. He basically works with and not against the DA's. The apparent flashy clothes or cars are all a facade, there are def public defenders on his level who care more. Don't hire him unless you are a former/current police idc if it's free and somebody else pays. Unless you want somebody always late or never there,uninformed,not proactive at all, lazy, but entitled that wants high prices for minimum efforts/work. He had local public defense communicating working deals on his behalf for me who had relationship with the DA's.

Innocent bystander he represented me horribly

Jackie Patterson is one of the most unprepared lawyers in GA. He represented me on a murder charge where my co-defendant told the jury he shot and killed someone and I still caught a life sentence with him being my attorney. He was very unprepared he didn't know any of the witness but took my 30 thou...sand and sent me to prison and I haven't heard from him yet. I hired an appeal lawyer who filed ineffective assistant of a counselor which was him. He came back for my motion of new trial 2 years later with nothing to help me he was lost and said he remembered hardly anything. When I say he's a real traffic lawyer that's all he is good for please don't go by the hype I'm in prison doing a life sentence cause of lack of knowing my case. I would recommend anyone with a serious felony charge to hire him because he is garbage. To top that off he has sent multiple people to prison since me my case was in fulton I lost August 20 2018 pull it. He's the worst lawyer in GA so please don't hire him if I could help someone else family not go to prison please don't waste your time hiring him you'll rather go prose.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jackie Patterson is an attorney without equal. He is a strong advocate for his clients and does not back down from a fight. If you need an articulate attorney, who cares about your case you will not go wrong by asking Jackie to defend you. He is intelligent and aggressive. And, he gets results. I have worked with him on cases and I have referred cases to him. Each of these cases were resolved successfully due to Jackie's knowledge of the law and his personal ability to find the solution to a given legal problem."
