Columbus' Best Legal Representation Around

After being recommended through a bail bonds company, Mr. Jones was able to meet with me almost within the first 48 hours having posted bail. His knowledge, expertise, and great reputation far exceed his hiring fees. Affordable, dependable, and someone you want defending you in a jam, Mr. Jones is TH...EE lawyer to consult in/around the Columbus, Georgia area. If you are in the military facing charges from the civilian court of law and are stationed nearby, or, are at least within the state of Georgia, he is, and should be your first choice for consultation and representation. He will utilize his skills and years of practice to work towards the best possible outcome, whatever the situation. In my instance, a reduced charge which in essence saved my career and future wellbeing. Again, Mr. Jones is THEE lawyer to seek out within the Columbus area and the state of Georgia, PERIOD. Much appreciation to him and his Secretaries!!!

Attorney Robert G. Jones

My stepson is a client of Attorney Robert G. Jones of Thompson and Jones Law Firm in Columbus, Georgia. Attorney Jones has in the past and continues to do a yeoman job in his representation of my stepson. He presents an aura of competence, confidence, concern, and compassion in his dealing with his... clients. Never one to brush you aside, or feel that your concerns are unimportant, he listens to you. I have often said that he has the patience of Job. He stands head and shoulder above the rest in working diligently to ensure that he gets the best results for you. I highly recommend Attorney Jones to any potential client seeking sound legal advocacy in the courtroom. Much gratitude to you, Attorney Jones, for your professionalism and your dedication! We will forever be indebted to you and your very capable office manager for all that you do!

The Best

Mr. Jones, will get it done! He is honest, and that is hard to find in an attorney. He is affordable. He is reachable.His secretary, Mrs Virginia, is nice and professional while still being down to earth. He was successful in getting my 20 year old conviction sealed. There were more hurdles than at t...he Olympics. Original Judge retired, Original attorney dead, I am no longer in State just to name a few, but Mr. Jones never faltered he stayed the course and we won the Gold! Where others have slammed the door on me, he has opened a window.For this, I am eternally grateful.

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.

Replied last November 04, 2015

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.
