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.

he really looks like he's at Lenox Mall cruising

While locked up awaiting bail, I spoke to him on the phone asking him why he wasn't fighting for a bail hearing for a 1st time offender pulled over for a traffic violation, and he told me he did what he wanted, hung up on me and didn't speak to me again until court. He's as arrogant and stupid as he ...looks. He even gave some of the money back, like that's something fair. He should've never took the case or gave all the money back. I ended up as a 1st time offender with a maximum sentence.

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.

Attorney Jackie Patterson is OUTSTANDING!

I contacted Attorney Patterson in the middle of the night as I learned my son had been arrested. Attorney Patterson returned my telephone call at 7:00 a.m. and was at the County Jail at 11:00 am. Attorney Patterson represented my son who was charged with 4 criminal charges. Attorney Patterson ...listened and he kept us informed at every step in the process. He clearly knows the law, has a solid/commanding court presence, he is high energy, and has a strong work ethic. My son's future was in the hands of a highly capable criminal defense attorney. Attorney Patterson educated us on the law, the criminal justice process, and the court system. His experience and knowledge resulted in an EXTREMELY FAVORABLE outcome. The outcome blew us all away and the case was resolved within 5 months. I am singing Attorney Patterson's praises. He is a true professional. If you need a criminal defense attorney, I highly recommend you contact Attorney Jackie Patterson immediately.

"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."
