horrible

My son hired this man for his case, he was given $2500 upfront and did nothing, Never answered his phone, emails or texts and never returned calls and lied about working the case, we ended up obtaining a new lawyer who had my son out in days and also stated that Mr. Jackson had my son sitting for wee...ks and he never touched the case.

Wish I could give a zero

Do not waste your money he will definitely waste your time and you will end up paying more to hire another attorney we paid this man $4500 in January of last year and still have not made it to court for our case he is a joke he will ignore calls texts and emails and he prefers u to send him the money... versus meeting because he knows he is not doing anything for your case he is a scam will collect your retainer fee and not do any work

Horrible

If I could give him a 0, I would. He did absolutely nothing for my case. If I hadn’t called the court myself to ensure my court date had been set a warrant was going to be issued for my arrest. I could get a hold of him. He made promises to call and never did. Just terrible. A complete waste of my mo...ney. Thankfully I didn’t give him all the money upfront. I will definitely be reporting him to the bar association.

This Lawyer is a Joke

This lawyer was retained and Did nothing for my case. Can you believe that the public defenders office actually represented me and did everything to free me.(LOL) This attorney actually robbed my family by taking our money. He did not earn a dime of the retainer. (No court appearances, phone calls, J...h visits) ..Nothing.... I will deffinitely report him to the Florida Bar TODAY!!!!

poor excuse for a lawyer.

After hiring Mr. Jackson, he did not keep any of his promises to me. ( I should have got them in writing ). I had to obtain my own hospital and police records. For what he got paid, I would have been better off with a public defender. I will take my sentence and learn from it, but Mr. Jackson gave ...me no help at all. The 2500.00 he obtained would have been better spent donating to a rehab center where it could have actually helped someone.
