I love Jackie Patterson, Best Lawyer anyone could ask for

I Highly recommend Mr Patterson. He's genuine and has a great heart. He cares about his clients. My husband lost his CDL's for hitting a stop sign and getting the truck off the road, that's what they say to do if no one is hurt so that the flow of traffic can continue, I wont go into detail on how th...at cop handled himself, but his mannerism was very poor. And we hired a lawyer that failed to even prove or even fight on my husbands behalf. I called several lawyers that would not even handle the case, because of the town which was involved. I called Mr. Patterson up and he took my husbands case with no hesitation and even discounted his fees because he knew my husband was being treated unfairly. Mr. Patterson was always a phone call or text message away. If he was busy when I text he responded in a timely manner. If you need a judge that will fight for you, he is the man for the job.

BEWARE!!!!

I called this attorney 2 days after being released on a charge with a crime I did not commit. This was on a Friday. He told me to meet him on Saturday at his firm to discuss the case. He showed up 35 min late because he was stuck in traffic. When he shows, he has a younger woman with him that he intr...oduces to me as his girlfriend. She is in the room while we discuss the case. He promised he would start working on a temporary protective order i had issued against me to get someone out of my home that wasn't suppose to be there. He told me he would represent me in both that and the aggravated assault charge. For the protective order he promised he would file a motion to move up the court date that Monday if I hired him that day. I cut him a check. Monday comes and I hear nothing from him. Tuesday I call him and he tells me he didn't go because he had other cases and that he would go the following day. He never worked on my case. Every time I contacted him over a two week span there was an excuse. The following excuse being that he had his daughter for spring break. With nothing being done to work my case and with court dates coming up I needed true representation and he wasn't it. I sought legal help somewhere else and hired someone else immediately. I sent a professional letter expressing my thoughts and how I didn't feel he was a fit for me and I fired him. I went to office to pick up the check I had given him and that was with $400 less. When I questioned him he said because he showed up to the office on his off day and had to drive in traffic. I didn't argue because I had bigger fish to fry. He worked on my case 0 hours and basically charged me for a consultation. BEWARE!!!!! Do not waste your time.

The Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct does not allow me respond to the true and accurate facts of this persons review. So I can only say NOT ALL “CLIENTS” are created equal.

The perfect lawyer

Came and hired Mr Patterson on a case that seemed like it had no ending. Mr Patterson was very adamant about beating the case and did everything he said he would do when he said he was going to do it. He made sure he visited the client whenever it was requested he also made sure he contacted the fam...ily with every detail that consisted of the case he stood up and stood out at every court date and for that his contact info will remain in my contact list. I definitely would highly recommend Patterson for any case. We went through two lawyers and as the old saying the third time is a charm we finally won with lawyer number three.

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."
