Horrible lawyer

I will never hire this lawyer again. He did not even do anything on my case. I would have gotten the same program I'm in now if I had not even hired a lawyer. I know this because I have talked to others with the same charge. He told me that he could get it fully dismissed and actually guaranteed it t...o me. Instead he did absolutely nothing.

Wow", first time in 36 years of practice I have gotten a reaction such as this. First, I would NEVER guarantee an outcome. Secondly, I work hard on EVERY case, as every case IS IMPORTANT to me (not only for the outcome for my client but, because of my personal reputation! Thirdly, the "alleged client" has not voiced these objections directly to me. If this IS an actual client, I would appreciate him or her contacting me. I can think of no client of mine who would feel this way and would not have already voiced these feelings to me or my staff.

Bobby Jones: A Name I'll Never Forget

Bobby Jones deserved a standing ovation after my case was over. I was arrested for having a small amount of cocaine and was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance. I don't know how he did it, but he was able to get it reduced to a misdemeanor possession of a drug object, which is al...most unheard of. Bobby saved my life with that one. I was never more elated in my life than the moment the judge basically threw it out under the first offender act and gave me just one year of unsupervised probation and a small fine. I have since learned my lesson and have cleaned up my act and am now flying straight. I owe Bobby a great deal of respect and gratitude. If you are looking for a great lawyer, hire him. You will not be disappointed. Thank You, Bobby!!!

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

Knowledge,,Dignity and Compassion for Young Offenders

Mr. Bobby Jones represented our teenage family member (James) in November. Although a first time offender, James was given multiple DUI charges as well as some others of questionable validity. He was able to present facts in such a manner that the DA and judge were able to see the complete situatio...n had overtones of unfairness related to local influences. This gave James the opportunity to be treated fairly when judged without ruining a young man's future to become a productive citizen.
