A GREAT ATTORNEY!!!!

I hired Bobby Jones in a Trafficking in Methamphetamine case in Harris County, Georgia. Although I was innocent, they charged me because they found marijuana and a gun in my car and 7 ounces of meth at the place I work. Much of the evidence was based on things taken from my cell phone. Mr. Jones file...d a great Motion to Suppress the evidence with the result that all charges against me and the other two defendants were dropped. He always answered my calls, worked hard on my case, and prepared me to testify at the Motions Hearings and Trial. I probably would be in jail if it were not for Mr. Jones. He got my bond reduced tremendously so that I was able to post it. He also won a forfeiture hearing which made them return my car and property. I would not hesitate to recommend. Mr. Jones as a attorney for anyone with a criminal or probate case. I truly am thankful for his hard work and concern.

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 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.
