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.

One of the Best Attorney's

Mr. Patterson was so awesome in my DUI defense. He did a great job when he cited the law and defended me in my case he was willing to do whatever it takes to fight for me. I really appreciate the stand up guy that he is.

The best in Atlanta.

Jackie Patterson represented me on a felony charge. He was very informative with how the process of having the charge either dismissed or reduced. With his experience and knowledge, we were able to have a more than fabulous outcome. I highly recommend Mr.Patterson. Not only was he sharp at court but ...he was very kind to me and my family. I will always be grateful to have found an attorney that cared the way Mr.Patterson did.

Excellent Attorney

I hired Mr Patterson for 2 felony theft chargers in Henry and DeKalb county. Ive never been in any trouble prior to this, so I was dealing with a lot anxiety. Mr Patterson never promised me anything but only that he would do his best. I cant describe the service that he gave, but it was beyond Bes...t. He very sharp, knowledgeable, and is very particular to detail. Not only did he get both chargers dismissed,but was able to discredit the prosecutor in the middle of trial because his close attention to details and constant pressure to have them prove their case. He filed a motion for a Mistrial in which the judge grated. Case ended at that point, The Judge words" Your free to go" In Henry this never happens I mean never !!This Guy Is sharp.. If you're in need of an attorney that will get the job done and not BS you look no more! Hire Him!!!!!!1

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."
