Mark was literally my life saver

At the age of 18 I began getting in legal trouble and was at a loss. I was referred to Mark by a family friend and he was my saving grace. Mark has gone above and beyond to help me get all of my legal cases resolved and keep as much off my record as possible. Anyone I know who has gotten in any form ...of trouble I refer to him. He is the absolute best attorney anyone could ask for.

Didn't finish what was paid for.

He failed to obtain a copy of the transcript from my hearing to make sure that everything we knew was correct. He would not follow up on a simple question I had about my sentence. He was very rude when I went to ask said question, yelled "your case is over!" and then hung up the phone on me. Highly u...nprofessional. Very impatient man. Paid him good money to say two whole sentences at my hearing and he couldn't even pronounce a few of the medical issues I have. For example; he couldn't say I had a cholecystectomy, and he couldn't say that I also have bradycardia. He completely messed that up during the hearing which could be detrimental to some cases.

A good man, honest, dependable and trustworthy

I hired Mr. Jackson in 2010 and has since made a friend, whom I have tremendous respect for. He's always been there for me, always answers his phone, and has ALWAYS treated me with respect and dignity. I would highly recommend Mr. Mark Jackson to anyone.

Criminal Defense Atty for Young People getting into trouble

I am a Professional Counselor and Expert witness for Georgia Criminal Defense Attorneys. I primarily work with young people getting into trouble and Mr. Jackson is the ONLY attorney I refer to in these situations. In addition to his background with the GBI, his sincere compassion and accessibility m...ake him stand out far above the rest.

Outstanding Lawyer and Person, Just What One Hopes For

Mr. Jackson combines his GBI experience with his legal competency to work around barriers and help clients solve legal issues. An excellent communicator, geniune, honest, client-focused ... all make him an outstanding lawyer. He's a very nice person to work with, and we're grateful for his efforts....

"I have known Mark many years since the time he served as legal counsel for the GBI. He was heavily involved in drafting and reviewing legislation. So when I have a question about the law surrounding the sex offender registry, Mark will have the answer. He is a details oriented lawyer who I would recommend to anyone looking for a criminal lawyer."

Relationship: Co-worker

"Mark is one of the most dedicated attorneys I have had the pleasure of working with. He takes the time to learn his cases, pouring over every detail and he never forgets that his client is a person in need of help. His many years of service to the GBI as both an agent and as Director of Legal Services give Mark an unmatchable skill set, perspective and understanding of the workings of the criminal justice system. I strongly recommend Mark as an excellent attorney and advocate."
