Best Attorney Around

Mr. Jones represented me on firearm charges. I was previously convicted of a felony and federal charges. The previous lawyer I had was offered to plead me guilty and I would have gotten a year to serve in jail. I then hired Mr. Jones. He represented me and was able to work out a probation sentence af...ter he had threatened to file a motion to suppress and go to trial. He spent a lot of time and effort on my case and obtained evidence which convinced the DA not to send me to jail. I live in another city and Mr. Jones always returned my calls and kept me informed as to what was going on in my case. Also, I had several surgeries and he was able to continue the case and provide documents from my doctor. I really feel that I would now be in jail had I not hired Mr. Jones

Wonderful

Mr. Jones helped us with our mother's estate, having to do a search for a person who witnessed the will that could not be found. We thought all was lost until he came up with another way and the probate was done! He was just wonderful and was always available to take our calls and to call us pr...omptly with updates. His fee was reasonable for all the work that was done. We would highly recommend Mr. Jones for any legal needs!

I was charged with, manufacturing,distribution

Mr. Jones went above and beyond the call of his duty to remedy my case, had I been paying him by the hour I probably would have had at least a 20 to $30,000 lawyer bill. My fee was nowhere near that. I was charged with Manufacturing a large amount of marijuana plants. I was also charged with the int...ent to distribute and possessing drug paraphernalia. The police did a three week investigation on me and my property, which included surveillance, running a drug dog around my property. They also flew my property by helicopter which the recorded a high heat signature from my house. Three detectives train in detecting the smell of raw marijuana (growing )also did surveillance on my property. All three reported that they smelled raw marijuana. When I first retained Mr. Jones I thought I didn't have a chance, I was just hoping to get as little prison time as possible. My outcome in court. Five years probation with a travel permit so I could continue working, I travel in my work all over the southeast. $2000 in fines I've had lawyers before that would sell you down the river in a heartbeat and just take your money Mr. Jones is not that kind of lawyer,he is very dedicated to his clients. I am very lucky and thankful to have him represent me.

Best experience

Mr. Jones represented me very well. He was always available and if he was out of office he would promptly return the call. He managed for me to maintain my license even though I was involved in an accident with an expired license. He's great at what he does and I believe you will agree if you hire hi...m to represent you

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in Columbus

Bobby Jones got my case thrown out, without even having to have a hearing. I was charged with possession of methamphetamine, but Bobby knows search and seizure law so well that my case was dismissed on his Motion to Suppress. He is the best criminal defense lawyer in this town. He takes every case... and does the best job he can do. He knows the law and takes the time to look up the laws specifically and look up appeals cases for every case that comes in. You can tell that he loves what he does and is a great lawyer because of it. He also cares, because he will tell you that he hopes he doesn't have to represent you again and hopes you don't get in trouble again and gives you good advice about staying out of trouble and moving forward with a productive life, and he hopes the only thing you need him for later is to do a will or something like that for you. Bobby is truly the best Columbus has to offer.
